About

Built by Justin Walker

Lights Out Electric is Justin Walker and the team he built, serving homes, businesses, and industrial sites across Alton and the Metro East. The work is electrical. The difference is integrity, and treating every job like it is on his own property.

From the steel mill to your service panel

Justin Walker was raised in a blue-collar family in the Alton area, and he started his career at the Alton Steel Mill working shifts alongside his father. It was hard, honest work, and it taught him what doing a job right actually looks like.

When his father passed away from COVID, Justin knew he could not go back to that floor. So he made a decision: he would build something of his own, a business that could support his family and serve the community he grew up in. He founded Lights Out Electric in 2021 and built it from the ground up.

Electrical is a trust business. People are letting you into their home and near their panel, and they need to know the work will be done right. That is why Justin explains the work in plain terms, so you understand what is happening and why, instead of just handing over a bill. And the work is done right even where no one will ever see it, because his name is on every job.

Why people keep sending their neighbors

Lights Out Electric has grown on referrals and word of mouth, and that is on purpose. Justin treats every job like it is his own property, and most of his work comes from clients who were happy enough to tell someone else. There is no shortcut to that. You earn it one job at a time.

That is also how he runs the relationship. As Justin puts it, "I'm no better than anyone else. I want to treat others like I want to be treated." Show up, do the work right, stand behind it, and the reputation takes care of itself.

What you can count on

How Justin treats every job

"Done once. Done right. That way, you don't have to go back and fix it." That is the standard on every Lights Out Electric job, residential, commercial, or industrial.

Done once, done right

The job gets finished correctly the first time, so you are not calling someone back to fix it later.

Treated like his own

Justin works on your property the way he would work on his own, with the same care and the same respect.

Plain answers

You hear what is happening and why in language that makes sense, not just a line item on an invoice.

Earned by referral

The business runs on word of mouth, which means doing right by every client is the whole job.

Residential to industrial

Homes, businesses, and industrial sites across Alton and the Metro East all get the same standard of work.

Local and accountable

Justin built this company in the community he is from, and his name is on every job he does.
