About us

What sets me apart is that I am the owner, the license holder and I am always on every job with over 30 years electrical experience. You will never have to deal with anyone but me concerning pricing, invoicing and service work unlike other competitors. You will have an unlimited communication source directly to me via cell phone which I carry at all times. I am experienced in all phases of construction, including building, kitchen, bath, whole home remodeling, plumbing (water heater), heating, air conditioning (HVAC). Western Contractors, Inc. is owned and operated by James "Western" Whitley. You will always deal with me 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, on all work performed, invoices and any issue that may arise. I have been an active member of the International Association of Electrical Inspectors and the National Fire Protection Association in North Carolina for many years. Much of my education in the Electrical Industry has been obtained at the North Carolina Electical Institute and through continuing education in my licensed states of North Carolina, Florida and West Virginia. I take great pride in promptness, quality, safety and cleanliness. All of my work is guaranteed to meet and exceed National Electrical Code Standards. During Western Contractors Inc. 22 years in business, I have never had a insurance claim against me on any service performed, no workman's compensation claims against me and I maintain a spotless Better Business Bureau report along with other licensing agencies. I am in good standing with all states that I am licensed in which include Florida, West Virginia and North Carolina. At the present time service call charge for me, the master electrical contractor is $75 per hour with the first hour being $95. Two men, one of which is me, $95 per hour with the first hour $127.50. NO OTHER SERVICE/LABOR CHARGES. WE WILL NEVER USE A SUBCONTRACTOR. HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT.

James tuned-up our landscape lighting system and got it working properly and fixed broken lights and fixtures. He also fixed a wall switch in our master bath and advised us on switching out a gas dryer to an electric dryer. We were very satisfied with his service and knowledge, and we will use him again.
Description of Work: Fix landscape lighting system. Fix wall switch in master bath.

I hired this company once before and found the work to be just as excellent as on this occasion. The first time I hired them, they completed the work exactly as pre-determined and were right on target with the estimate. James is an honest and very professional electrician. He respects the customer, giving thorough explanations and insuring that you understand and are in agreement before going forward. The appointment was made within a week of calling. James arrived with another electrician who was just as customer service oriented as he is. The work was not easy and involved crawling under the house and up in the attic to install what was needed. They kept the work area clean and I love my new ceiling fan. The light works by the switch and the fan by pull chain just as I asked. There is more work to be done to bring the wiring in this house up to code. I will be doing that in stages over time and I plan on hiring this company each step of the way. James is making this house safer with every visit.
Description of Work: I hired this company to bring some of the house wiring up to code (house was built in 1942) so that they could install a new ceiling fan with a light in a bedroom. They installed new electrical wiring, a new junction box, a new switch leg and new cable to the fan box and a new switch.
