TriCoast Electrical is a locally owned shop run by a licensed master electrician with 27+ years in the trade — TDLR EC #EECELE00037785, serving the Galveston Bay & South Houston corridor.
When you call TriCoast, you're not reaching a call center or a rotating franchise crew. You're reaching the local, licensed team that will actually do the work — pull the permit, do it to code, schedule the inspection, and stand behind it. This page is who we are and what we stand for, so you know exactly who's coming to your house.
Experience is the difference between a job that passes inspection the first time and one that doesn't.
Behind TriCoast is a licensed master electrician with 27+ years in the trade — the kind of background that means we've seen the old FPE and Zinsco panels, the maxed-out services, the "quick" EV install that needed a load calculation no one ran.
Our license is real and verifiable: TDLR EC #EECELE00037785. You can look it up on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registry anytime — that's the point of saying it out loud. A master electrician's license is also what lets us legally pull the electrical and EV permits in Houston (a homeowner can't), so the work on your house ends up on the record where it belongs.
Owner / master-electrician name, a real headshot photo, and a short personal bio — years at TriCoast vs. years in the trade, where he trained or apprenticed, and why he started the company. Do NOT fabricate a name, photo, founding year, or backstory; hold this block until the owner supplies it.
We started TriCoast to be the opposite of the experience that makes homeowners dread calling an electrician. Three values run through every job.
We lead with a load calculation, not a quote. For a panel or an EV charger, we verify whether you actually need the bigger job before we ever quote it — and if your existing panel can handle it, we'll tell you and quote the smaller job. No "three ridiculous options," no trip-fee games.
We pull the permit (in Houston, only a registered master electrician legally can), schedule the inspection, and the permit stays with your house. That matters at resale and with your insurer.
The work is NEC-2023 code-compliant and backed by a workmanship warranty. We stand behind what we install.
We're not always the cheapest quote you'll get — and we'll tell you that up front. But we're always permitted, inspected, and warrantied. That's the trade, and we think it's worth it.
I've had a fantastic experience with TriCoast Electrical Services. They are incredibly reliable and professional in every aspect of their work. The owner and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and go above and beyond to make sure everything is done right. I would recommend them every chance I get — definitely a company you can trust!
Excellent communication in setting up the appointment! Donald is awesome. He explained the work, started immediately and ensured that the work was done correctly. The job site was spotless after the work was completed, and I was impressed that he has a checklist that will ensure a thorough job from start to finish. Outstanding company. Highly recommend.
I had a generator inlet and sub panel installed by Jason at TriCoast. The work was great, cleaned up their mess and tested everything before they left. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional electrical project. Pricing was extremely fair for the work that was done. Give them a call, you will not regret it.
