Lockport sits on the Red River around the St Andrews Lock and Dam, the working locks that give the town its name, and it is part of our home turf in the RM of St Andrews and St Clements. It is the kind of place where people come for the Red River catfish and the long-standing spots like Skinner’s and the Half Moon Drive In, and where a lot of the housing started life as river cottages that have since grown into year-round homes. Many of those properties run on their own wells and septic rather than town services, and a good share of the homes are old enough that the original wiring is now well past its prime. It is a short drive from our base, so we are out here often.
The cottage-to-year-round shift drives a lot of what we do here. A place that was wired for summer weekends often cannot carry full-time heating, a renovated kitchen, and a hot tub, so the first job is usually a panel and service upgrade to give the home the capacity it now needs. Lots that sit low near the river depend on a sump pump every spring melt, and we handle the well and sump pump wiring that keeps water moving and the basement dry. On the older homes we take care of the everyday residential work, from tired outlets and panels to wiring new garages and additions.
Because we are local and keep the work in-house, we handle the whole job, including the trenching and feeds that riverfront lots often need to reach a detached garage or a pump near the bank. The Red is prone to spring high water along this stretch, so we back the work with 24/7 emergency response for the times a pump or a panel cannot wait.

Yes. A lot of Lockport homes started as seasonal cottages, so we upgrade the panel and add the circuits and capacity that turn a summer place into a year-round home with proper heating and a modern kitchen.
