UNDERGROUND

Underground service

New service to a house, power out to a shop or a barn, or a failed direct-burial cable that needs replacing. Redstar trenches, runs the conduit, pulls the wire and coordinates the utility connection, all as one job around Tahlequah and the fifty miles.

Straight answer

Underground is the job people put off because it sounds like a big project. Most of the time it is a day or two: a trench, a conduit, a pull, and a yard that looks like nothing happened by the next week.

What a visit looks like

  1. We walk the run with you, from the source to where the power needs to end up, and call in the locate for existing lines.
  2. You get a written bid with the trench, the conduit and the conductors priced for the run.
  3. Trench, conduit, pull, backfill, inspection. Where the utility is involved, we coordinate the connection.

What moves the price

  • Distance. Every foot is trench, conduit and wire.
  • The route. A straight run across open ground is quicker than one that crosses a driveway or works around a foundation.
  • The load at the far end. A shop with a welder needs a bigger feed than a light on a gate.

The number itself comes from a written estimate after somebody has looked at the job. Ask on the phone and you get told what the call-out is before anybody drives.
