Electrical work on both sides of Kingwood's county line.
Kingwood is about 47 minutes from our Tomball shop, depending on traffic.
Trailwood, Kingwood's oldest village, finished its first homes in 1971, a year after Kingwood was founded. Kingwood, known as The Livable Forest, is the largest master-planned community in Harris County. Houston annexed it at 11:59 PM on December 31, 1996.
We work in both of Kingwood's main ZIP codes, 77339 and 77345, from our family-owned shop and showroom on Alice Road in Tomball.
What five decades of building, flooding and storms mean for Kingwood wiring.
Two ZIP codes, two building eras
Census estimates put the median year built in 77339 at 1988, with just over half of its homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. That ZIP also takes in areas outside Kingwood, such as Forest Cove. In 77345 the median year built is 1993, most houses went up between 1980 and 2009, and only a few hundred date from the 1970s. In an older home, panel capacity, breaker condition and grounding are worth checking before new circuits go in. In a newer one, the question is how much room the panel has left for an EV charger or another dedicated circuit.
Permits on the Harris County side run through Houston's iPermits
Because Houston annexed Kingwood, electrical permits in the Harris County part of the community come from the Houston Permitting Center through its iPermits system. The city issues them only to registered master electricians whose licenses are on file with Houston. Permitted work has to pass inspection by the city's Electrical Inspections section before the job is finalized.
Kings Mill, Woodridge Forest and the Montgomery County side
A small part of Kingwood sits across the county line in Montgomery County: Kings Manor, Kings Mill, Woodridge Forest, Oakhurst at Kingwood and a slice of North Woodland Hills. The City of Houston's own boundary for Kingwood, Super Neighborhood 43, stops at the Harris County line, so these sections fall outside it.
Wiring in homes that took on water
Council Member Dave Martin said Hurricane Harvey damaged more than 80% of the homes in several Kingwood neighborhoods, including Kingwood Greens, Barrington and Fosters Mill. In 2019, hundreds of homes in north Kingwood flooded twice, in the May rains and again in Tropical Storm Imelda. If water reached your outlets in any of these floods, that wiring is worth an inspection even years later.
When storm damage reaches the service line
After Hurricane Beryl, ABC13 reported on a Kingwood rental where a fallen tree broke the buried service lines. CenterPoint told the owner the repair was his, and his electrician said work could not start until CenterPoint disconnected the live wires. CenterPoint disputed parts of that account. If a storm damages your service lines, stay clear of them and report the damage to your utility first. Once the lines are safe, we check your side of the meter and tell you what we can repair.

Questions we get from Kingwood.
Do you work on the Montgomery County side of Kingwood too?
Yes. The Kingwood sections north of the county line are part of our service area.
Who issues electrical permits in Kingwood?
On the Harris County side, the City of Houston. We pull the permit through iPermits, and the city's Electrical Inspections section inspects and approves the work. For the Montgomery County side, we confirm what your address requires before any work starts.
Our house flooded in Harvey or Imelda. Should the wiring be checked?
Yes, if no electrician has checked it since the water went down. Outlets and circuits near the floor are the first places to look, along with the panel.
Can a 1980s Kingwood house handle an EV charger?
It depends on the panel. Older homes are more common in 77339, and a panel from the 1970s or 1980s can be closer to its limit than one in a 1990s or 2000s house. A load calculation on your panel answers the question. If there is no room left, we give you a free estimate for a larger panel.
Do you take emergency calls in Kingwood?
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. Kingwood is about 47 minutes from our Tomball shop, 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.
