I needed an electrician immediately to inspect the wiring going to my hot water tank. I called 2nd to None Electric and Michael answered and came out to my house within the hour. Then made a second trip back out to wire the new hot water tank up for me. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs an honest, professional and fast electrician! He was very curious and kind and I will be using them again in the near future for some more work.

Expert Pad Preparation in Edmond, OK
Pad preparation is the first step that determines how well every structure above it performs. At 2nd To None Electric and Plumbing, we handle the full pad prep process for homeowners and builders across Edmond, Oklahoma. That means clearing vegetation and organic material, grading the site to the correct elevation, and compacting fill in controlled lifts so the ground stays stable under load. Edmond sits on clay-rich soil that swells when wet and pulls back when dry. That movement puts real stress on slabs, foundations, and structures that were not built on a properly prepared pad. We account for that from the start. Drainage slope is planned before any dirt moves, so water runs away from your structure rather than pooling underneath it. Whether you are adding a shop, placing a manufactured home, or starting new construction, a correctly prepared pad protects your investment from the ground up. Call us to get your Edmond project started on solid ground.
