About PRE

Company History

 

In 2002 Palmetto Residential Electric opened our doors in Charleston, South Carolina and quickly became one of the leading electrical contractors to some of the biggest- and best-known names in the residential homebuilder market.

 

Since our inception we have experienced a steady controlled growth adding branch locations in Myrtle Beach and Columbia. We now serve both the residential and commercial markets in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

 

Our clients run the gamut from a single homeowner needing whole home surge protection, a small custom builder, a nationally-known tract builder, or a multi-unit apartment dwelling for college student housing.

 

We treat all our clients with the same courtesy, respect and appreciation that all customers deserve.

Patrick Edwards, CEO
 

Patrick Edwards is a native of Charleston, South Carolina, where he now resides with his wife, Mischell (who owns Palmetto Residential Electric) and children, Christian and Pressley. He began his career in the electrical business at the ground floor level and served as an electrician's helper from 1988 through 1991.

 

He became a full-fledged electrician in 1991 and spent the next seven years in that capacity until accepting the position of manager with a well known electrical contractor in 1998, a position he held until taking the leap to form his own company in 2002.

 

Patrick built his business the old-fashioned way. He labored pulling wire during the day, made his sales calls during short work breaks and in the evening did all the bookwork that keeps a company going. He has come a long way since accepting that job as an electrician's helper back in 1988.

 

Patrick currently holds master electrician licenses in North and South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee as well as alarm licenses in both the Carolinas. He brings 20 years of experience with him on every project he tackles.

Testimonials

We have been using (PRE) for several years and are pleased to say they are by far the best electrical contractors we have used in 30 years of business. Their team is always ready for a new start or a service call. We have never experienced a problem using their company and would highly recommend them to anyone needing electrical assistance whether it is new residential or commercial construction or simple home repairs.

 

Being a builder for over 30 years my standards are very high. (PRE) not only does a great job in the field but their scheduling, and accounting share the same high standards. The owner leads the team in a can do attitude that shows through on every job.

 

If you need electrical help, it's just a call away!

As a local home builder in the Charleston area, Charleston Landmark Builders has been using the services of Palmetto Residential Electric for more than six years. Our experience with Patrick’s staff of professionals has been a positive one.  Daily contact with Marlon and Brian, with their incomparable management and organizational skills, has created a courteous, effective and efficient business relationship.

 

The difference between Palmetto Residential Electric and other companies has been their determination to respond quickly to the requests of our buyers and to ensure the delivery of a quality product. Their performance has reflected a constant, dependable product upon which our homeowners rely day after day. I personally receive weekly emails from Patrick asking if his staff has met our expectations and to let him know of our experience with the company. This is very refreshing business concept. They don’t just send out a crew and then forget about us. They want to ensure a respectful, continual working relationship with Palmetto Residential Electric.

 

The field technicians who are sent to our new homes in order to install all the necessary wiring and fixtures are always prepared to complete their tasks and are informed regarding our particular requirements and comprehend our needs. In addition, the fact that Palmetto Residential Electric stands behind their product and ensures any warranty issues the homeowners may experience after taking possession of their home instills a great sense of confidence with our buyers and us. Palmetto Residential Electric is a responsible, reliable and trustworthy company.

 

We would like to thank Patrick and his entire staff for their continued enthusiastic service and quality product on a daily basis at a very reasonable cost which we can pass on to our buyers in the way of savings. In conclusion, if you are looking for an enterprising company that is exceptionally goal-oriented, innovative, knowledgeable, dependable, skilled and talented in the field of residential electric then Palmetto Residential Electric is the company you should contact.

I have used Palmetto Residential Electric exclusively the last 8 years for all our new home construction electrical needs. To date they have wired over 700 homes start to finish. PRE is a stable well managed company. This gives them the ability to hire professional employees and stay competitive in the market. As the purchasing manager for NLP Homes I can tell you that “Communication” whether it’s in the field or administrative has never been a problem. PRE has always been pleasure to work with.
