St. Louis Metro
Largest market in Missouri. Old brick housing, defense and healthcare anchors, and St. Charles County growth.
Market notes
St. Louis is the largest electrician market in Missouri and it sits on one of the oldest housing stocks in the country. The city and its inner-ring suburbs (Florissant, Kirkwood, University City) are full of pre-1940 brick homes still running knob-and-tube wiring and 60-amp fuse boxes, which makes rewiring and service-upgrade work a constant rather than a seasonal job. On the commercial side, Boeing Defense in north county, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's NGA West campus going up downtown, and the BJC and SSM healthcare systems anchor a deep base of high-amperage work.
The residential growth lives west and northwest in St. Charles County. O'Fallon, St. Peters, St. Charles, and Wentzville (home of the GM Wentzville Assembly plant) are among the fastest-growing places in the state, a mix of new-construction subdivisions and first-wave 2000s housing now hitting panel-upgrade age. CPC on emergency-electrician queries across the metro sits at the top of the Missouri range, and the market is deep enough that organic and Map Pack work compounds hard for a contractor who shows up right.
