Meet David
One name on every job. Mine.
I started Porter Electrical because I kept seeing tradies take the money and not do the job right. So I put my own name on it. It's on my licence and my van. If something's wrong, you know who to call. And I answer.

Tell me what you need. I'll tell you what it costs.
