Generac Authorized Dealer
Large residential work — generators, panels, rewires, custom lighting — scoped in person and quoted in writing under FL license ES12000724.
Seventeen years on the same Florida license — owner-operated the whole time.
Founded February 2009 by Josh Barnes — 17 years as a Florida-licensed residential electrical contractor in Polk County, with Josh still the named qualifier on license ES12000724.
The work is large residential projects across Polk, Highlands, and Sumter counties — full-home rewires, service upgrades, generator installs, panels brought up to code. Real scope, real accountability, the same licensed shop every time.
Not a franchise. Not a rotating call center. Josh or one of his team walks every estimate.
Most custom-build projects call three different trades for these three scopes: three schedules, three contracts, three people pointing at each other when something is miscommunicated at framing. Barnes Electric quotes all three under one written scope — one project manager, one license, one point of accountability.
Starts at the design: fixture spec, layer plan, dimming protocol, rough-in. Not bolted on at trim.
Wired into the electrical plan at framing — not retrofitted after drywall is closed.
Load calc, automatic transfer switch, gas-line coordination, and the slab — one accountable scope.
All work pulls under FL DBPR license ES12000724 — on record at the county.

“You can expect all inspections to pass with flying colors when you trust the right team — and Josh has built that here. Spectacular customer service from the awesome office staff and the highest quality of work.”
Best in the business. Josh and his team really do good work. I don’t even consider calling any other company when I need electrical work done.
The guys paid special attention to making sure the wood floors were protected and the walls and ceilings had no marks left on them. We could not be happier with the outcome!
We walk the project with you, scope the work, and quote it in writing. No upsell scripts.
