James City sits across the Trent River from New Bern, with US 70 running through it. It’s an unincorporated community, and depending on the address, permits may go through Craven County or the City of New Bern. We sort out which one applies when a job needs a permit, so you don’t have to.
Housing here is mixed. There are older single-family homes, newer neighborhoods, manufactured homes and apartment complexes. Our work in James City runs from replacing a worn-out panel in an older house to adding outlets, lights and surge protection in a newer one. In manufactured homes we see worn service equipment, loose connections and circuits that were added by an earlier owner without much care, and we fix those properly.
Work for businesses on the highway
The US 70 corridor through James City is lined with shops, restaurants and other businesses, and the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport is close by. Commercial owners need parking lot and building lighting kept working, new circuits for equipment, and repairs that don’t close the doors for long.
We can often schedule commercial work around your business hours. Pole lights, wall packs and sign lighting can usually be switched to LED, which cuts down on burned-out fixtures and the trips up a ladder or lift to replace them. For bigger changes you get a written plan and estimate before we begin.
