Cr Electric Co

Cr Electric Co operates as a family run electrical outfit based right in Canton, TX. Jeff Askew brought more than twenty years of hands on electrical work from his time in Santa Barbara when he teamed up with his son Connor to launch the company in 2016. Connor started learning the trade at thirteen and now partners in the business while brother Reece joined after high school. Journeyman Arturo Gaytan adds sixteen years of experience including nine focused on one town and Juan Gaytan supports the crew with the same family approach that treats employees like long term partners rather than short term help.

The team handles full house rewires to bring everything up to code along with installing new lighting and ceiling fans. They also run dedicated lines for mini split units so HVAC crews can finish without delays and they install outlets in older homes that have quirky DIY wiring. Jim and Elijah have shown up the same day after a call to knock out tricky jobs on complicated older houses by troubleshooting the infrastructure and leaving the place cleaner than they found it. Arturo and the rest focus on clean work that stays on schedule whether it is a quick outlet fix or a bigger project that needs an action plan developed on the spot.

Homeowners keep coming back because the crew delivers strong results on every job without dragging things out or inflating costs. Response time stands out since crews often arrive within hours of the first call and finish fast while keeping communication clear from start to end. Quality shows in the neat finishes on new lines and rewires and pricing stays fair for the work completed on older Canton homes. DIRT Score 4.72 from 33 reviews on Finds.

“Had my house fully rewired and brought up to code including all new lighting and ceiling fans. Jim and his crew were extremely professional and fast. They were great at communicating and left my house cleaner than they found it. I will definitely use them again.”

“Lara Electric just left after knocking out a few tricky jobs for us! We have an older, complicated house that is very “DIY” quirky and Lara Electric was perfect for the job. They knew exactly how to work with the older infrastructure we have to quickly troubleshoot, develop an action plan and efficiently complete the repair. I can’t believe how much they got done in less than one day! We were even able to fit in a bonus project! What I most appreciated was that every team member was knowledgeable, friendly and respectful. The team lead made sure to explain each option to me throughout the day and talked through the various pros and cons of each option patiently and respectfully. 100% recommend! They are our go-to electricians from here on out!”

“We were very impressed with this company. I called them yesterday and Jim & Elijah were here this afternoon. They were polite & very professional. Had our outlet installed in minutes. So happy to have found a local company that is trustworthy and dependable. Highly recommend Lara Electric!”

“Great company to do business with. Contracted with them to run electric for a mini-split I was having installed. Took them no time to run the line and get everything ready for the HVAC contractor. Clean looking job and done on time.”
