Electrical work for Hempstead homes, farms and acreage.
Long runs, well pumps and outbuildings are normal here.
Hempstead is the Waller County seat, sitting where US-290 meets Highway 6 about 50 miles northwest of Houston, and most of the properties around it are acreage: homes with a barn or a shop, a well instead of city water, a gate at the road, and a long stretch of ground between the meter and everything else. That changes the electrical work. Underground runs to outbuildings, subpanels in shops, well pump circuits, RV and equipment hookups, and panel upgrades on farmhouses that still have fuse boxes come up here far more than in a Katy subdivision.
We also do the ordinary residential work in town and in the newer neighborhoods off 290: panel replacements, EV chargers, recessed and landscape lighting, ceiling fans, surge protection, smoke detectors and emergency repairs.
- Panel upgrades on older farmhouses and in-town homes
- Underground runs to barns and shops
- Well pump and irrigation circuits
- Subpanels and dedicated circuits for shops and equipment
- EV charger installation
- Lighting, fans, outlets, surge protection
- 24/7 emergency repairs
Hempstead and the properties around it.
Waller County, ZIP 77445, and the country between here and Prairie View.
The City of Hempstead itself is a small town with older housing stock along the 290 corridor and newer homes on its edges. Around it, along FM 1488, FM 359 and Highway 6 toward Prairie View and Waller, are the ranches, hobby farms and acreage subdivisions. Storms come across this open country hard, and outages can last a while when Waller County lines go down, which is why so many of these properties end up with a standby generator on propane.
Permits in Hempstead and Waller County.
City inside the limits, county outside.
The City of Hempstead issues electrical permits for addresses inside the city limits. Everything else around it is unincorporated Waller County. There we confirm what applies to your address: the work still has to meet the state-adopted electrical code and be done by a licensed electrician. Either way, we handle the permits and inspections the job needs, and permit timing depends on the city or county.

Questions we get from Hempstead.
Do you come out to Hempstead?
Yes. Hempstead is about 40 minutes from our Tomball shop by US-290 and Highway 6, depending on traffic, well inside the area we cover every day.
Do you do farm and barn electrical?
Yes. We add circuits and subpanels for workshops, garages and other outbuildings, fed from the main panel at the house.
Who issues electrical permits in Hempstead?
The City of Hempstead issues electrical permits inside the city limits. For the acreage around it in unincorporated Waller County, we confirm what applies to your address, and the work still has to meet the state-adopted electrical code and be done by a licensed electrician.
Can you upgrade an old farmhouse panel?
Yes. Many Hempstead-area homes still have fuse boxes or 100-amp panels. A 200-amp upgrade is often the first step before a generator, a shop or an EV charger.
Do I get a written estimate before work starts?
Yes. After we look at the job we give you a written, itemized estimate, and nothing starts until you approve it. On acreage that includes the length of any underground run, the subpanel if one is needed, and the permit and inspection.
Do you install generators in Hempstead?
Yes. Standby generators on propane are common on acreage without gas service. See the Hempstead generator installation page.
Do you take emergency calls in Hempstead?
Yes, any hour, at (713) 467-1125. Call right away for sparks, a burning smell, a hot panel or a main breaker that will not stay on, and call 911 first if there is fire or someone is hurt. Hempstead is about 40 minutes from our Tomball shop by US-290 and Highway 6, depending on traffic. On the phone we tell you how soon we can be there and what the call costs, and our emergency electrician page explains which problems can wait for morning.
