Barbee Services Inc

Barbee Services Inc works as electricians based in Wharton, Texas. The company started back in 1939 when the late Donald B. Barbee opened Barbee Electric Service right there in town. Crane work came along in 1970 as the electrical side grew, and the whole operation incorporated as Barbee Services Inc in 1985. Now a third generation family business, they run licensed electricians and certified crane operators out of the shop at 401 E Caney. Phones stay open day and night so homeowners and businesses can reach them fast when power problems or heavy lifts come up.

Electricians from the crew handle repairs, wiring jobs, and code upgrades around Wharton while the crane side moves equipment on bigger sites. Customers report the crews arrive on time with tools ready, get straight to the work, and finish without dragging things out. One review noted fair prices that came in lower than other bids, another praised how the team stayed knowledgeable on safety steps and left every install up to code with no callbacks. Quick turnarounds on service calls and steady results on routine electrical fixes show up again in feedback from locals who needed reliable hands on short notice.

Homeowners keep pointing to the crews showing up fast, doing clean work that holds, and charging straight prices without surprises. That mix of speed on arrival, solid quality that passes inspection, and clear talk about costs builds steady repeat calls in the area. The outfit sticks to licensed work and practical fixes rather than extras. DIRT Score 3.85 from 11 reviews on Finds.
