Power Pole Relocation for the Staffords
I don't know if I have enough words to describe not only how grateful I am to Matthews, but also how pleased I am with their work. They completely exceeded my expectations.
When Jason and Darinda Stafford realized their power pole was sitting on their neighbor’s property, they knew it needed to be moved, but had no idea how involved it might get. Permits. Utility coordination. Major electrical work. It sounded complicated. They just wanted it done right.
They called Matthews Lighting & Electric, and got way more than they expected.
From the first visit, the Staffords could tell they were in good hands. Fred and Parker arrived on time, walked through every detail, and gave them a full quote on the spot. No delays. No waiting. No confusion.
The game plan was clear and simple: install a new 20-foot permanent pole, a new meter base with a 200A disconnect, two ground rods, lifetime surge protection, and a new POA for GA Power. Everything, including the permits and inspection, would be handled, all on the same day.
Darinda later told us how much she appreciated the crew’s professionalism, but also their kindness and attitude throughout.
Working Through the Heat, With Heart
The day the crew arrived, it wasn’t just hot, it was the hottest Georgia day Darinda could remember in 49 years. That didn’t slow anyone down. Nathan and Easton got straight to work, hooking up a generator so the fridge would keep running while they dug out the trench. Jeff handled the disconnection, and Ben arrived with a big fan to help cool the crew.
Darinda checked in throughout the day to make sure everyone was staying hydrated. What stood out to her wasn’t just the skill, it was the way every team member stayed kind, focused, and respectful, no matter the temperature.
