About T. A. Ottaway Electric Services
T. A. Ottaway Electric Services is a Holly Ridge institution — the kind of local electrical contractor that gets the call when the utility company sends a letter, when a light switch blows out, or when someone's stranded with a flat tire in a parking lot (yes, that happened — and they jumped in to help). Customers consistently describe Chris and the team as trustworthy, responsive, and professional. They coordinate directly with the town inspector and utility crew on permit work, communicate clearly throughout the project, and finish jobs on the original date promised. The kind of community-minded electrical contractor every town wishes it had.
