From New Construction to Your Home
I started PCH Electrical Contractors in 2002, fresh off years of learning the trade and eager to build something of my own. Those early years were all about new construction, working with production builders and on custom and Storybook homes, wiring houses from the ground up.
That experience taught me something valuable: precision matters. When you're wiring dozens of homes for demanding builders, there's no room for shortcuts. Every connection has to be perfect. Every inspection has to pass. Every homeowner has to be satisfied.
For years, that was my world: new construction, commercial projects, and working on multi-trade jobs. I built a reputation for showing up on time, doing clean work, and standing behind every job.
The Transition to Residential Service
Then things changed. The builders I worked with started retiring. The industry shifted. And I realized something: homeowners needed the same production-builder quality, but most were getting rotating crews, inconsistent work, and electricians who treated residential jobs like an afterthought.
So I pivoted. I took everything I learned from wiring hundreds of new homes and brought that expertise to residential service work.
Today, I focus on helping Durham Region homeowners with:
Panel upgrades that handle modern power demands
EV charger installations for the electric vehicle revolution
Backup generators that keep families safe during outages
Smart home integration that actually works
Electrical inspections that provide real peace of mind

Port Perry Based, Durham Region Proud
I'm not a franchise or a big company with crews spread thin. I'm your neighbor. My reputation in this community matters to me, so I treat every job like it's my own home.
More Than Just an Electrician
When I’m not wiring homes, you’ll probably find me outdoors. I sold my farm in late 2024 after years of balancing electrical work with farming, a decision that let me focus fully on what I do best: helping homeowners with their electrical needs.
I still believe in old-school values: showing up when you say you will, doing what you promise, and treating people fairly. In a world of automated phone systems and rotating service crews, I think there’s still a place for personal service.
I live with my family and take pride in being part of the community. When you hire PCH Electrical, you’re not just getting an electrician, you’re getting a neighbor who cares about doing right by you.
