New homes
Full rough-in through trim: service and panel, circuits, devices, lighting, appliance and HVAC feeds. We lay it out with you before the wire goes in so the switches and outlets land where you actually use them.
New construction & remodel
New Construction & Remodel Wiring
From a bare slab to the last cover plate, or from an old farmhouse to the addition you have been planning for years. Jesse Turnlund is an Idaho licensed master electrician, and he wires the job the way he would wire his own house — planned with you first, then built to code and inspected.
What we wire
Residential, commercial and agricultural — across Moscow, Deary, Potlatch, Plummer, Tensed and the rest of North Central Idaho.
Additions & remodels
Tying new work into an existing house without tearing up more than we have to. Older wiring gets looked at honestly — if the panel is the real problem we will say so and show you the panel upgrade option instead of stacking new load on a tired one.
Shops, pole barns & outbuildings
Feeder from the house or meter, subpanel, shop lighting, 240-volt circuits for welders and compressors, and outlets down the walls where the tools live. Detached buildings done right the first time.
Agricultural sites
Farm and ranch electrical for the buildings, equipment and long runs that come with acreage. Wet, dusty and cold locations get the fittings and methods the conditions call for, not whatever is cheapest on the shelf.
Commercial buildings
Tenant spaces, shops and small commercial work — service, distribution, lighting and equipment circuits. We also troubleshoot commercial appliances, including restaurant dishwashers.
Well & septic pump circuits
Pump wiring, controls and disconnects for new builds and replacements. If you are on a well, this circuit is the one you cannot live without — it gets built to last.
We plan it with you first
We don't begin our job until we've listened to your needs and fit them into a realistic plan that you approve of. That is the whole method. Nothing gets bid, ordered or pulled until you know what is happening and what it costs.
-
Walk the plans
We sit down with your prints — or walk the site if the prints are not drawn yet — and go room by room. Where the panel lands, how many circuits, what the shop needs, where you want lights and switches, what equipment is coming later. Tell us how you plan to live in it and we will wire for that, not for a generic layout.
-
Free estimate
You get a written estimate for the job we just talked through. Estimates are free. The price quoted for a specific job is the price billed — no creeping numbers, no surprise line items at the end. If you decide to add something mid-build, we price it and tell you before we do it.
-
Rough-in
Boxes, wire and panel go in while the walls are open, on the schedule your framer and drywaller need. This is where planning pays off: a circuit added now costs a fraction of what it costs after the sheetrock is up and painted.
-
Trim & final, permitted and inspected
Devices, fixtures, covers and the panel labeled so the next person can read it. The work is permitted and inspected by the State of Idaho, and we are there for the inspection. When we leave, it is finished — and Jesse is still a phone call away.
- Call early The best time to talk to an electrician is before the walls close — ideally before the framing plan is final.
- Licensed & insured Idaho Electrical Contractor License #038428, held by a licensed Idaho master electrician.
- Idaho owned and family operated Jesse was born and raised here. Courtney answers the phone. That is who you are hiring.

Questions about wiring a build
Do you work from plans?
Yes. Bring the plans and we will walk them with you, room by room, before anything gets bid. If you do not have plans yet, we can still walk the site and talk through what you want. Either way the estimate comes from the real job, not a guess.
Do you wire shops and pole barns?
Yes. Shops, pole barns and outbuildings are a regular part of what we do, including the feeder from the house or meter, subpanel, lighting, welder and compressor circuits, and outlets where you actually need them. Agricultural sites and well and septic pump circuits too.
Will the quote hold through the build?
The price quoted for a specific job is the price billed, period. If you add to the scope partway through, we price the addition and tell you what it costs before we do it. You will not get a surprise at the end.
Building or remodeling?
Call early — planning the electrical before the walls close saves everyone money.
