Do the work right. Communicate clearly.
Paul Gervais founded this company in 2008 with a belief that wasn't complicated: do the work right, communicate clearly, and treat every customer with respect. That standard shaped everything about how Gervais Electric operates.
Paul passed away in November 2023. His legacy shows up every day in how this team approaches a job — the attention to detail, the follow-through, the commitment to doing things correctly even when no one is watching.
Gervais Electric is now in its second generation under Paul's stepson, Erik Boydston, who has carried the company forward with the same principles Paul established. A small team. One standard of work.
One standard, every kind of job
Gervais Electric handles residential electrical services for homeowners across the Nashville metro, and commercial electrical services for general contractors, property managers, and condo developments. We also take on electrical work for select industrial facilities where the fit is right.
A panel upgrade in a Franklin home gets the same level of care as a large-scale lighting retrofit across a multifamily portfolio, or EV charging infrastructure for a condominium building. There are no templated estimates and no one-size-fits-all packages. Each project is scoped to the specific property and the specific goals of the customer.

Raise the standard of the trade
For our customers, our community, and our team. That's not a tagline — it's the reason this company exists, why Paul built it, and why the team runs the same standard every day.
Real Craft, No Shortcuts
We do the work right — especially where no one will ever see it. Behind drywall, in the crawl space, the standard is the same as on the visible work.
Stand Behind Our Word
When we say we'll be there, we are. When we quote a price, that's the price. If something goes wrong, we own it and fix it — no excuses, no fine print.
The Contractor We'd Hire
We are the contractor we would call if it were our home or our shop. We answer the phone, show up, and tell the truth about pricing.
Thousands of projects since 2008
Since 2008, we've completed thousands of residential and commercial electrical projects across the Nashville area. Homeowners, property managers, general contractors, and building developers across Middle Tennessee have trusted Gervais Electric to get the work done correctly. That track record is the best thing we can put on this page.
