Common Questions
My Abilene home's breaker keeps tripping when the AC runs. Can Houck Construction help?
Yes, absolutely. Our licensed electricians can perform a full electrical inspection to assess your panel's capacity and wiring. We often find that older panels in Abilene homes can't handle modern AC loads. We can safely upgrade your electrical service and install dedicated circuits to prevent overloads, ensuring your cooling system runs reliably during our hot Texas summers.
I need to add an outdoor outlet but am worried about heat damage. What's your process?
We use weatherproof, GFCI outlets specifically rated for Texas heat and install them in sealed, waterproof boxes. Our excavation team will carefully trench to the location, and our electricians will run the proper gauge wiring from your main panel. This integrated service—from trench digging to final inspection—ensures a safe, durable installation that meets local Abilene codes and stands up to our climate.
We want to build a deck but our yard is uneven. Do you handle site prep too?
Yes, we handle the entire project. Our excavation crew will first regrade and compact the soil to create a stable, level base—a critical step often overlooked. Then, our construction team will build your deck to code. This turnkey approach, common for our playground and addition projects as well, saves you time and ensures a solid foundation that lasts.
