The electrician
who actually
picks up the phone.
Brightside Electric is Justin & Nicole West, a family-run shop wiring homes and businesses across East Texas. Honest work, on time, and to code. When the lights go out, we are the ones who show up.
Electrical work, done the way you'd want a neighbor to do it.
Residential, commercial, and emergency. No job too small, and nothing left half-finished. Here is what folks around Coldspring call us for most.
Residential Electrical
Wiring, repairs, and upgrades for homes across Coldspring and the lake. From a single dead outlet to a whole-house rewire, done to code.
Generator Hookups
Standby and portable generator wiring, including Generac transfer switches. When the power goes out, your family stays lit.
Panels & Breakers
Panel upgrades, breaker replacement, and service work. We make sure your electrical system can carry the load safely.
GFCI & Receptacles
GFCI installation, tripped-plug troubleshooting, and receptacle repairs. The small jobs other electricians won't bother with.
Commercial & New Construction
Full electrical for new builds and commercial spaces, wired clean and inspected to code. We've handled everything up to a 1,200 sq ft build.
Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
Lights flickering, breakers tripping, something that just won't work? We find the actual cause and fix it, not just paper over it.
Justin will try to fix it over the phone first.
Plenty of electricians charge a trip fee just to show up. Justin would rather walk you through the simple stuff on the phone, and if he can solve it that way, it costs you nothing. When a job does need a truck, the West family shows up when they say they will.
Real jobs, around the lake.
From generator hookups and panel work to a full commercial build, here is some of what we have wired across San Jacinto County.
1,200 sq ft commercial build
New construction, wired to code
Panel & meter service
Clean, code-compliant installs
A Coldspring family business, lighting the way since day one.
Justin and Nicole West run Brightside Electric out of Coldspring, serving the broader East Texas and Lake Livingston area. They built their reputation the slow way: by being professional, on time, and straight with people about what a job actually needs.
Whether it is a flickering light, a kitchen remodel, a panel upgrade, or a generator hookup at midnight, the same people who own the company are the ones doing the work and standing behind it. That is rarer than it should be, and it is exactly why customers keep their number saved.

Neighbors who got their power back.
"After Hurricane Beryl my family and I were like many others without power. In the process of working 16 hour days I was struggling to get home and get my generator wired up to my breaker for my family. After calling Brightside Electric the amazing owners themselves came out to get my generator hooked up and my family out of the dark. 5 star service, 5 star workmanship!!! Highly recommended."
"I had an issue with a GFCI receptacle I just couldn't resolve. Justin walked me through it on the phone, then came out and within 30 minutes figured out where the issue was. Turns out it was a faulty neutral wire. He came back the next day to fix it. Very professional, explained every step. I will be calling Brightside for all future electrical work!"
"Had my kitchen remodeled and they did a great job! Great communication and made sure it was exactly as I wanted! Highly recommended!"
"Our church constructed a 1,200 sq ft educational building. Brightside Electric did a great job on the electrical work. Very professional, showed up when they said they would, everything to code. Very impressed."
"One of our GFI plugs went out after pressure washing our patio and Justin was fantastic. He saved us the service fee by walking me through several troubleshooting items on the phone and fixed the issue without having to come out. We'll definitely be calling these guys back when we remodel and update our electric. Thank you so much!"
Lights out, plug dead, or planning a remodel?
Give Justin a call. He'll tell you straight what it needs, and sometimes fix it before he even gets in the truck.
