🏪 Local Business Spotlight
DJB Electrical
You cover residential, commercial, and industrial work — what does a typical week look like?
It changes daily — current projects, emergency calls, whatever comes in. We handle everything from standard residential and commercial work to high-end homes, historic renovations, and fire restoration projects.
You’re available 24 hours — how do you handle middle-of-the-night emergencies?
A call at 2 a.m. is handled the same way as a call at 2 p.m. We don’t charge higher fees for emergency calls, which isn’t something every electrician can say.
What do you want people in the Rogersville area to know about working with DJB?
I started my business by donating my time to people in need — helping make homes safer for those who couldn’t afford it. That’s what built my reputation. We still carry that forward with discounts for seniors, veterans, and low-income customers. Doing right by people has always been the foundation.
Reach DJB Electrical at (423) 500-8120.
