Rutledge Electric in Stephenville, TX
Rod Rutledge founded Rutledge Electric in August 1983 and has operated out of the same location on N US Hwy 281 ever since. That kind of staying power in a small Texas city means something — it means Rod has wired hundreds of Stephenville homes, commercial buildings, and ranches, and that his reputation here is built on real work, not advertising.
Stephenville has a mix of housing stock that ranges from post-war bungalows downtown to new builds off Country Club Road and everything in between. Rod knows the older wiring systems, the local inspection requirements, and the specific challenges of properties in Erath County — from caliche soil that can shift foundations and conduit to ranch properties that need long underground runs.
Whether you're a homeowner on a tight budget who needs a panel replaced safely, a landlord with a failing inspection, or a business owner who needs a new circuit run before opening day — this is a contractor who answers his own phone.
