Your Reliable Electrical Subcontractor
Partnering with General Contractors Across Tampa Bay
Ranch and Coast Electric provides dependable commercial electrical subcontracting to general contractors throughout the Tampa Bay region. We deliver competitive pricing, on-time performance, and the clean documentation your projects demand.
Why General Contractors Choose Ranch and Coast Electric
General contractors need electrical subcontractors they can count on. Missed deadlines, incomplete paperwork, and sloppy job sites create headaches that ripple through every phase of a build. That is exactly why GCs across Tampa Bay choose to work with us. We treat every project as a partnership, not just a purchase order.
Competitive Bids Within 48-72 Hours
We understand bid deadlines are non-negotiable. Send us your plans and we will return a detailed, line-item electrical bid within 48 to 72 hours. Our pricing is transparent, competitive, and includes all material, labor, permit fees, and inspection coordination so there are no surprises during the project.
98% On-Time Delivery Record
Our crews show up when scheduled and finish when promised. We maintain a 98% on-time delivery record across all commercial projects because we plan manpower carefully, pre-order long-lead materials, and communicate schedule changes the moment they arise. Your project timeline is our priority.
Clean Job Sites, Every Day
We clean up after ourselves at the end of every work day. Wire scraps, conduit cuttings, packaging materials, and debris are removed from the work area before we leave. A clean job site is safer for every trade on site and reflects professionalism on your project.
Proactive Communication
You will never have to chase us for updates. We provide weekly progress reports, attend all coordination meetings, flag RFIs and potential conflicts early, and keep a single dedicated point of contact for every project. Our communication style is direct, honest, and solution-oriented.
Licensed, Insured ($2M) & Bonded
Ranch and Coast Electric carries $2 million in general liability insurance, full workers' compensation coverage, and bonding capacity for projects up to $500K and beyond. We provide certificates of insurance within 24 hours of request, naming your company and the project owner as additional insureds.
Complete Closeout Documentation
We deliver a full closeout package on every project: as-built drawings marked with actual field conditions, equipment O&M manuals, panel schedules, warranty information, inspection sign-offs, and lien waivers. Your project closeout is seamless because we prepare documentation throughout the job, not as an afterthought.
Proven GC Partnership Experience
We have worked with general contractors including DSI and Morgan Harbor on warehouse and distribution projects throughout the Midwest, and bring that same reliability and professionalism to Tampa Bay. Our team understands the pace and expectations of commercial construction because we have lived it on job sites ranging from 5,000-square-foot tenant improvements to 200,000-square-foot distribution centers.
That experience means we know how to read a project schedule, coordinate with other trades without creating bottlenecks, and solve problems in the field before they become change orders. When a GC partners with Ranch and Coast Electric, they get a subcontractor who thinks like a builder, not just an electrician.
