About Freeflow Services
An Austin electrician that started with small handyman jobs and grew into remodeling with the electrical work built in.
Jessie W.
Jessie W. learned the electrical trade as a helper on a residential wiring crew, pulling cable and setting outlet boxes in new houses. The job taught him to plan a circuit before opening a wall, to label what he installs, and to leave a panel the next electrician can read without guessing.
In 2015 he started Freeflow Services in Austin, taking on small handyman jobs for homeowners. As the requests grew, the company moved into larger remodeling projects with the electrical work built in. Today Jessie personally installs the custom lighting on those jobs, and he walks each homeowner through the layout on site before work begins, so the finished rooms match what they pictured.
Residential and Light Commercial Work in Austin
Most of the work is in homes around Austin: outlet and switch replacements, ceiling fan and light fixture installation, recessed lighting, custom lighting layouts, and new circuits for kitchens, garages and home offices. Dead outlets and flickering lights get chased down to the cause. Light commercial work, such as tenant-space lighting and circuit additions for small offices and multi-unit buildings, fills out the rest.
Because the company began as a handyman service, it can handle the demolition, patching and remodeling that come with electrical work. A new circuit through a finished wall does not have to wait for a second contractor to close it up.
How a Job Gets Finished
Before a job is called finished, every receptacle that was touched is tested for correct wiring and grounding, and the test buttons on GFCI and AFCI devices are pressed to confirm they trip. Breaker sizes are checked against wire gauge and the connections at the panel are retightened. Jessie checks that each circuit label matches what it actually feeds. Dimmers get tried with the bulbs going in, since mismatched pairs buzz.

Questions About Working Together
What kinds of jobs should I send your way?
Outlet and switch replacements, ceiling fans and light fixtures, recessed lighting and custom lighting layouts, new circuits for kitchens, garages and home offices, and the dead outlets and flickering lights nobody else has tracked down. Panel upgrades, EV chargers, surge protection and generator hookups too. Remodeling jobs where the electrical work comes with demolition and patching are a natural fit.
Do you work outside Austin city limits?
Yes. Most work is in homes around Austin, and the Areas We Serve page lists the nearby towns and how their utilities and permit offices differ.
