For over 28 years, builders throughout North Mississippi have trusted Cartwright Electric LLC to keep their projects moving forward without delays or complications.
Why Builders Build With Us

On-Time, Every Time Your construction schedule doesn't have room for electrical contractors who show up late or miss commitments. We understand that electrical rough-in, service installation, and final trim work are critical milestones in your timeline. We coordinate our schedule with yours and deliver when we say we will.
Professional Job Site Presence The professionalism of your subcontractors reflects on your company. Our team maintains clean work areas, communicates respectfully with other trades, and represents your project with the same standards you expect from yourself. This is the difference builders notice—and why they call us back for the next project.
Quality Workmanship That Passes Inspection We know Mississippi electrical code requirements inside and out. Our installations are done right the first time, which means no delays waiting for re-inspection and no callbacks that disrupt your schedule or your reputation with homebuyers.
28+ Years of New Construction Experience Nearly three decades in residential electrical work means we've wired hundreds of homes across Desoto County and Marshall County. We understand the flow of new construction, anticipate challenges before they arise, and work seamlessly with your other trades.

quality work,
and zero drama.

This is basic professionalism—but it's what builders tell us they don't consistently get from other electrical contractors.
