About Spark Electrical
A Houston electrical company started in 2013, and the electrician who runs it.
Jimmy Baker
Jimmy learned the electrical trade as a helper on a crew wiring new houses around Houston. His first job was pulling cable through attics and setting outlet boxes. Days of hauling wire taught him how much a tidy layout matters: straight runs, labeled breakers, and a panel the next electrician can read without guessing.
He also learned to test his work before the drywall goes up, because a mistake costs far more to fix afterward.
In 2013 he started Spark Electrical in Houston. Today he takes the troubleshooting calls in person, tracing dead outlets, flickering lights and breakers that keep tripping, and he explains what he finds before any work begins.
The Company
Spark Electrical began with home repairs and small wiring jobs. The work has grown from there to panel upgrades, breaker replacements, outlet and switch repair, GFCI outlets, ceiling fan installation, recessed lighting and circuits for EV chargers. The company also rewires older homes, installs whole-house surge protection, and tracks down the cause of flickering lights, tripped breakers and dead circuits.
Customers are homeowners, landlords, property managers and small businesses: shops, offices and restaurants. Most reach us by phone or through our Yelp page, describe what is going on, and we set up a visit to look at the problem in person.
How a Job Starts
Nearly every job begins as a description over the phone: the outlet that went dead after a storm, the breaker that trips when the dryer runs, the kitchen that needs more light before the remodel is finished. That conversation decides what to look at first. The visit is where the cause is found, by testing the circuit rather than guessing at it.
Whether the property is a home, a rental, a shop or a restaurant, you hear what was found and what it means before any work begins, so the decision about a repair or a replacement is yours.
The habits from the early days on new-construction crews carry through: straight runs, breakers labeled to match the circuits, and work tested before it is closed up behind a wall or a cover plate.
