Surfside is barely two square miles and about 4,200 residents — small enough that word of mouth is everything, and we treat every job that way. Most of our work here follows the housing stock. The town incorporated in 1964 with 881 residents, and plenty of cottages from that build-out era are still standing — roughly one in five Surfside homes predates 1970, square in the 1965–1973 window the CPSC flags for aluminum branch wiring. And storms are no abstraction here: Matthew tore the pier in half in 2016, Ian came ashore near Georgetown just south of the Strand in 2022, and the town answered with the first concrete pier in South Carolina, built nine feet higher than the old one. That's how Surfside thinks about storms — it's how we size standby generators and whole-home surge protection too.
Two practical notes that save Surfside homeowners headaches. Permits inside town limits go through the town's own Planning, Building & Zoning office on Highway 17 S — not Horry County — and we handle that paperwork for you. And while homes in town proper are served by Santee Cooper, parts of the surrounding unincorporated area are on Horry Electric Cooperative, which matters the moment you're checking utility rebate eligibility on an EV charger install. We confirm both by address before we quote.
No job is too big or too small. Hurricane Hazel leveled most of the original settlement in 1954, so the oldest homes standing in Surfside today mostly date to the 1950s–70s build-out that followed — the same era the CPSC flags for aluminum branch wiring. Salt air is the other constant: on a raised beach house the panel, meter base, and under-house outlets live outside in it year-round, which is why corrosion checks and panel replacements are steady work on the oceanfront rows. Common issues we help Surfside Beach homeowners with:
From the beach cottages of Ocean Terrace to Deerfield Plantation and Caropines, we cover the whole Family Beach and the 29575 and 29587 zip codes — plus Garden City next door. This is the town that made itself the world's first autism-friendly travel destination; a community that takes care of families is our kind of place to work.
Our new-construction crews already build and wire homes across the Grand Strand — service calls are the new part. Here's what those same electricians are equipped to handle at your place.
It depends on the address. Inside town limits, we pull permits through Surfside Beach's own Planning, Building & Zoning office (843-913-6341) — not Horry County. Outside town limits, including much of Deerfield Plantation, permits run through Horry County instead. Either way, we handle the paperwork for you.
Homes inside Surfside Beach town limits are served by Santee Cooper, but parts of the surrounding unincorporated area are on Horry Electric Cooperative — a Surfside Beach mailing address doesn't guarantee either one. We confirm your actual utility before quoting rebate-eligible work like an EV charger install.
It's worth an inspection. Surfside Beach incorporated in 1964 and much of its original cottage stock went up in the build-out that followed. The CPSC says homes built or expanded between 1965 and 1973 may contain aluminum branch wiring, and that pre-1972 aluminum connections are 55 times more likely to reach fire-hazard conditions than copper. We inspect and repair aluminum wiring using CPSC-recognized methods.
Yes — it's one of the most-requested small jobs on the Strand, especially since the town approved 24-hour golf cart use in 2025. A dedicated ground-level charging circuit with the GFCI protection under-house outlets need is usually a single-visit install.
We come out, diagnose the problem, and give you an honest quote before any work starts. It's an $89 diagnostic visit — credited back on any job of $275 or more. Our Grand Strand crews work out of our Myrtle Beach shop, and we offer 24/7 emergency response at (843) 628-7289.
