"I've been calling Aaron for over 10 years — first at our old house, then the new one, and for our rental property. Every single time: shows up when he says, does it right, doesn't overcharge. I won't call anyone else."

The Owner's Story
The Electrician Who Started His Own Company — and Never Left the Field
Carter McAlexander didn't start Aaron-Carter Electric because he wanted to run a company. He started it because he believed electrical work deserved more accountability than he was seeing in the industry.
In February 1998, he launched the business in Houston. No franchise. No silent partners. Just Aaron — licensed, insured, and committed to doing the job right the first time.
We have the same principle driven in every job we take since 1998. After Carter retired, Aaron took the reigns. Whether it's a residential service call or a full commercial ground-up, the work reflects on Aaron personally. That's not just philosophy — it's the reality of being a family-owned business in a market where your reputation is everything.
With decades of experience and a strong family foundation, the business continues today under the leadership of Aaron McAlexander, carrying forward the values and dedication that have defined us from the very beginning.
4,000+ customers and a 4.9-star Google rating later, the approach seems to be working.
"We take on all size jobs — and we do them right, every time. My name is on this company. That means something."

What We Stand For
The Principles Behind
The Principles Behind
Every Job We Take
These aren't marketing copy. They're the actual beliefs that drive how we work.
Right the First Time
We don't cut corners and we don't guess. Doing this work since 1998 means we come prepared — and we don't leave until the job is done correctly.
We Answer the Phone
Not a call center. Not an answering service. A real person who knows your job and can actually help. That shouldn't be remarkable in this industry — but it is.
Honest Estimates
We tell you what the job costs before we start. No surprise invoices, no scope creep you didn't approve. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Licensed & Accountable
Fully licensed and insured in Texas. Aaron's name is on the license — and his personal reputation is on every job. That's a level of accountability a franchise can't match.
All Sizes Welcome
A single outlet that won't work gets the same professional attention as a full commercial build. We don't have a "too small" — if it needs doing right, we'll do it.
Personal Relationships
You're not a ticket number. Many of our customers have been calling us since 1998. We remember the jobs, we remember the people, and we show up the same every time.

Customers Who've Called Us
Since 1998 — and Keep Coming Back
We don't quote our own marketing. We let the people who've used us do the talking.
"We used Aaron-Carter for a commercial buildout — not a small job. Aaron coordinated everything with the GC, stayed on schedule, and the inspection passed without a single issue. That's rare. We've worked with a lot of electricians."
"My dad used Aaron for years. When I bought my own house and had electrical issues, I called the same number. Same professionalism, same quality, same fair price. Houston's best electrician — and we've trusted them since 1998."
"Three things stand out: he actually answers his phone, he told me exactly what was wrong before touching anything, and the price matched the estimate exactly. That's three things most electricians fail at. Aaron does all three."
