Rutledge Electric in Hico, TX
Hico is a small Hamilton County town with a lot of character — historic buildings on the main square, surrounding ranches, and a growing number of people who have moved out from the city onto acreage nearby. That mix of old structures and newer rural development is exactly the kind of work Rutledge Electric has built its business on.
Rod Rutledge travels to Hico for projects that call for real experience — properties with original wiring that needs careful assessment, new builds on rural lots that need complete electrical setups, and commercial upgrades that require a licensed contractor who understands the permitting process in Hamilton County.
Hico residents don't have a lot of local licensed electricians to choose from. When you need the work done right and documented properly, call Rod at (254) 968-7515.
