Meet the Owner
Edward Hlavacek, Owner and President
Benchmark Home Services Inc. was established in 2019 around a straightforward idea: homeowners deserve clear communication, clean workmanship, and electrical work planned around their home.
Edward brings more than 30 years of electrical experience to the company. His work includes troubleshooting, rewiring, panel replacement, lighting, dedicated circuits, and EV charger installations.
Older homes are a particular focus. From knob-and-tube wiring to crowded panels and past remodels, Benchmark helps homeowners understand what they have, what needs attention, and how to plan improvements.
