Brick is a large township with very different kinds of homes. Mainland neighborhoods such as Laurelton, Cedar Bridge and Breton Woods sit inland from the bay, while Lake Riviera and Baywood grew up during the housing boom after the war. Out on the barrier peninsula, the Brick beaches face the Atlantic on one side and Barnegat Bay on the other.
Electrical Work Brick Homeowners Call Us For
Storms, older housing and a steady stream of renovations shape most of the jobs we take on in town. Brick residents ask about five kinds of work more than any other, and each one ties back to the way homes here are built and used.
- Whole-home generator installation, because long outages after major storms are a familiar part of life here.
- Electrical panel upgrades for homes whose original service cannot keep up with central air, new appliances or an addition, with a 10-year guarantee.
- New construction and addition wiring, our specialty, for rebuilt lots, second stories and new homes.
- Electrical repair and troubleshooting for tripping breakers, dead outlets and flickering lights.
- Pool and outdoor electrical work for pools, patios and outdoor kitchens in backyards across town.
Local Knowledge
Water, Storms and Wiring in Brick
Brick sits where the Metedeconk River meets Barnegat Bay, and many of its neighborhoods line the riverbank and the bay shore. Hurricane Sandy badly damaged the township in October 2012, with barrier island and waterfront homes hit hardest. More recently, a blizzard in February 2026 left parts of town without power for up to 15 hours, a reminder of why so many owners ask about backup power.
Homes near the water deal with salt air, high tides and the risk of flooding, so we pay close attention to panels, meters and outdoor outlets set low on the house. Construction permits are handled by the township's building department, and we file the applications and schedule the inspections. JCP&L supplies electricity throughout Brick, and its crews work the lines here every year to cut down on storm damage.
From Route 88 to the Barrier Beaches
Most of our neighbors know the town by its roads. The Garden State Parkway crosses western Brick at Exits 89, 90 and 91, while Routes 70, 88 and 35 carry traffic toward the shore. Longtime residents may remember the Laurelton Circle at Routes 70 and 88, which was replaced by a traffic light in 1986.
We work everywhere in between, from Herbertsville and Osbornville to Shore Acres and the Metedeconk neighborhoods near Windward Beach Park. A homeowner near the Brick Township Reservoir needs the same careful work as a business owner on Route 88, and both get a clear explanation before anything changes. Families heading to the Drum Point Sports Complex or the Ocean Ice Palace pass the very streets where we wire kitchens, basements and additions.
Planning a Brick Home Addition or Rebuild
New construction and home additions are the core of what we do. Many Brick families are adding a bedroom, finishing an attic or rebuilding after storm damage, and each project changes how much power the house needs and where it should go. Wiring a new space correctly from day one keeps it safe, up to code and ready to serve your family for years.
Bringing us in at the planning stage lets us size the service, lay out circuits and lighting and coordinate with your builder before the walls close. The estimate is free, and the recommendations come in plain language. We also explain what the township's inspectors will look for at each stage, so there are no surprises when the rough-in and final inspections come around.
Neighboring Towns We Reach From Brick
Because we are based in Brick, the surrounding towns are part of our regular route, and their housing and coastal conditions look much like our own. Point Pleasant borders the township to the east, Brielle also shares a border with Brick, and Lakewood lies to the west. To the south, Toms River is one of our busiest service areas.
Along the coast we also work in Bay Head and Manasquan, where shore homes face the same salt air and storm risk as Brick's own waterfront. The rest of our coverage spans Ocean County and the Jersey Shore. Wherever the job is, the work is led by the same Brick-based team, with the same free estimate and the same care inside your home.

(732) 621-0778Are you actually based in Brick Township?
Yes. JL General Electric Services is a locally owned electrical contractor based in Brick Township, and owner Leo Agudelo leads the work himself. Brick is our home base, so we know the neighborhoods, the waterfront conditions and the township's permit process. From here we serve homeowners, builders, business owners and property managers throughout Ocean County and the Jersey Shore.
What happens to the wiring when a Brick home is rebuilt after flood damage?
Flood water can damage panels, outlets, wiring and anything mounted low on the house, so a rebuild is the right time to rework the electrical system. We plan the new layout with you and your builder, raise equipment where the design calls for it and wire the house from the panel to the final fixture. The township's building department reviews the work through permits and inspections.
Do you offer a guarantee on panel upgrades in Brick?
Yes. Every electrical panel upgrade we install comes with a 10-year guarantee, and attic fan installations carry a one-year warranty. Before any work begins, we give you a free estimate that explains what your current panel can handle and what an upgrade would add. We also take care of the permit and inspection through the township's building department.
