We love our customers, and their positive feedback means the world to us. Meet Joe Kleine, owner of Corky’s BBQ. He’s a long-time friend and customer of Staley Electric. We’re so grateful for the kind things he has to say about working with us over the years.
“We’ve had a great relationship with Staley Electric. I have an older building. It’s 22 years old, so there’s a lot of issues. We have neon, which anybody in the electrical business knows is a pain. When we call, we always get an answer. We’re given a timeframe, and we talk to a human being, which is always great! They’re on time, and when they say they’re going to show up, they show up. The people that come out are very professional and very knowledgeable about what they’re doing.”
Thank you, Joe! We appreciate you, and are happy to have you as a member of the Staley Electric family! If you’re looking for a local electrician in the Little Rock area, be sure to give us a call. We’re here to help with any residential electrical work and commercial projects!
We’ve been busy at work renovating Clarendon-Holly Grove’s school arena! One of the reasons why we love working in this small town outside of Little Rock is because we’re building a place that brings the community together, for both parents and children. Kids can come here for extracurricular activities, like P.E. class, basketball practice, and other sports events, and parents can come and enjoy watching their kids compete. This project is special to us because we’re helping build community, and creating a space for education and fun. We’re really excited for the Clarendon School District and grateful to be apart of this wonderful project. Check out our video below as Vice President, Robert Bolin, gives a tour of the arena and explains the work we’ve done.

Choosing the right commercial electrical contractor is crucial for the safety, efficiency, and reliability of your business’s electrical systems. Whether you are building a new facility, upgrading existing infrastructure, or need regular maintenance, who you choose to handle these important commercial projects can make all the difference. Here are five essential tips for choosing the ideal commercial electrical contractor!
Understand Your Electrical Needs
Before you select a commercial electrical contractor, it’s important to understand your specific electrical needs. Are you looking for a contractor to handle a new construction project, or do you need someone to upgrade your existing electrical systems? Do you require specialized services such as energy-efficient lighting installations, outdoor electrical outlet covers, or high-voltage system maintenance?
Having a clear understanding of your requirements will help you narrow down your options and find a contractor with the right expertise. Make a list of the services you need and any special considerations, such as adherence to specific industry standards or the need for emergency repair services.
Check Credentials and Experience
When it comes to commercial electrical work, experience and credentials matter. Choose a commercial electrician who is properly licensed and insured. A licensed contractor has undergone the necessary training and testing to meet industry standards, and insurance protects you from liability in case of accidents or damages.
Experience is equally as important as licensing and insurance. Look for a contractor with a proven track record in commercial electrical work. Ask about their experience with projects similar to yours and request references from past clients. A reputable contractor will be happy to provide this information and may even offer testimonials or case studies showcasing their work.
Evaluate Their Safety Practices
Safety should be a top priority when choosing a commercial electrical contractor. Electrical work can be hazardous, and a contractor who prioritizes safety can prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of your employees and property. Ask about the contractor’s safety protocols and training programs. Do they regularly update their staff on the latest safety standards and practices? Do they conduct thorough risk assessments before starting a project?
A commitment to safety is a sign of a professional and responsible contractor. Look for certifications such as OSHA compliance or membership in professional safety organizations as additional indicators of their dedication to maintaining a safe working environment.
Assess Their Communication Skills
Effective communication is key to a successful partnership with your commercial electrical contractor. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, you need a contractor who listens to your needs, keeps you informed, and addresses any concerns promptly. Pay attention to how they communicate during the hiring process. Are they responsive to your inquiries? Do they provide clear and detailed explanations of their services and pricing?
A contractor who values communication will be easier to work with and more likely to meet your expectations. They should provide regular updates on the project’s progress and be available to answer any questions you may have.
Consider Their Availability and Reliability
Commercial electrical projects often have tight deadlines and require timely completion to avoid disruptions to your business operations. Whether you’re choosing a contractor for a complex, multi-phase project or a simple generator installation, consider their availability and reliability. Can they start your project within your desired timeframe? Do they have a reputation for completing projects on schedule and within budget?
Reliability also extends to their responsiveness in case of emergencies. Electrical issues can arise unexpectedly, and having a contractor who offers 24/7 emergency services can be a valuable asset. Make sure that the contractor you choose has a solid reputation for reliability and is known for their prompt and dependable service.
Review Their Pricing and Contract Terms
While cost shouldn’t be the only factor in your decision, it’s important to review the contractor’s pricing and contract terms carefully. The contract should clearly outline the project’s scope, timeline, payment schedule, and any warranties or guarantees. A transparent and detailed contract helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that both parties are on the same page. Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification on any terms or conditions you don’t understand. Also, be wary of unusually low bids, as they may indicate subpar materials or workmanship.
