Figure Eight homes are built different. The electrical should be too. We know the gate process, the bridge timing, and we bring everything we need in one trip. Big houses, serious systems, no second chances to run back for a part.
Homes on pilings with 5,000 to 10,000+ square feet need real electrical infrastructure. 400-amp services, sub-panel distribution, and full rewires on elevated structures where panel placement and conduit routing actually matter.

Learn more →Boat lifts, shore power pedestals, dock lighting, and fish cleaning stations. Everything wired to NEC Article 555. Salt water and electricity don't mix — dock electrical gets done right or it doesn't get done.
Learn more →Pools, spas, outdoor kitchens, and landscape lighting for island entertaining. All exterior electrical uses marine-grade hardware and GFCI protection. Built to hold up to the salt and the weather.
Learn more →Most Figure Eight homes are second residences. Smart panels, security cameras, automated lighting, and remote monitoring so you can check on the house from wherever you actually live. Structured wiring for the whole property.
Learn more →GC coordination from permit through final inspection. Rough-in to trim-out on custom builds. We handle the FEMA Elevation Certificate process and know what inspectors expect on elevated island construction.
Learn more →No hardware store on the island. No running back for a part. We plan the job, load the truck, and show up ready. Figure Eight has about 475 homes and one way in — we've been across that bridge enough times to know the drill.
Gate clearance arranged with the homeowner or property manager before we arrive. The swing bridge opens on the hour and half-hour for boat traffic — we schedule around it. Everything we need comes in the truck because there's nothing to buy once you're on the island.
Figure Eight gets hit from both sides — direct ocean exposure on one side, Intracoastal Waterway on the other. That double salt spray eats through standard hardware in a couple years. Marine-grade connectors, stainless fittings, and UV-rated materials on every exterior connection.
Most homes sit on pilings in the flood zone. That changes everything about panel placement, conduit routing, and how electrical runs underneath the structure. Meters, disconnects, and service entrance all have to be planned around the elevation.
Fran hit the island at 122 mph in 1996. Single bridge access means Four County restoration is slow — the island is last to get power back. A propane standby generator with automatic transfer switch isn't a luxury here, it's how you keep the house running.
Yes. Gate clearance is arranged with the homeowner or property manager in advance. We've been working on the island for years — we know the bridge schedule, the guard gate process, and the HOA requirements. Call or text (910) 431-8227 to set up a job.
Depends on square footage and load. Most Figure Eight homes run 20–48kW propane standby generators. No natural gas service on the island, so propane is the standard. We size it based on actual load calculation — panel schedule, HVAC tonnage, pool equipment, elevator if you have one — not guesswork.
Yes. All dock electrical — boat lifts, shore power pedestals, dock lighting, fish cleaning stations — is done to NEC Article 555 standards. GFCI protection on every circuit, marine-grade hardware throughout. Salt water and electricity is not something you cut corners on.
Faster than most people expect. Figure Eight gets double exposure — ocean on one side, ICW on the other. Standard galvanized hardware corrodes within a few years. We use marine-grade connectors, stainless steel fittings, and UV-rated enclosures on all exterior work. Annual inspection is recommended to catch problems before they become failures.
Yes. Full electrical from permit through final inspection. We coordinate with your GC on rough-in scheduling, handle panel placement on pilings, and work through the FEMA Elevation Certificate process. Power can't be turned on for new construction until that cert is done — we know the steps and keep the project moving.
