Blake Brothers
Huntsville, Alabama 35801
Family-owned Huntsville trades company in continuous operation since 1884.
About
Blake Brothers has been working in Huntsville since 1884 — when Hall C and J.W. Blake started the business with two men, a horse, and a wagon. The company is one of the oldest continuously operated trades firms in north Alabama, with electrical, plumbing, and HVAC service running under the same family ownership for more than 140 years.
The Memorial Parkway office handles residential and commercial electrical work including outlet and switch repair, panel upgrades, EV charging station installation, and emergency electrical service. The longevity matters most for older Huntsville homes — a company that's been here since the 19th century has seen most of the wiring methods that Huntsville houses have ever used.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Blake Brothers actually 140 years old?
Blake Brothers was founded in 1884 by Hall C and J.W. Blake with two men, a horse, and a wagon — and the company has remained continuously family-owned through subsequent generations. The 140-year run makes it one of the oldest active trades businesses in Huntsville, predating both the city's industrial era and the modern electrical grid.
Why does Blake Brothers' age matter for older Huntsville homes?
Blake Brothers' long tenure means the company has worked through every era of Huntsville residential wiring — from the original knob-and-tube installations to mid-century aluminum wiring to modern copper and AFCI/GFCI breaker codes. For older homes with mixed wiring vintages, an electrician who has worked on those generations of installations brings useful diagnostic context.
Does Blake Brothers install EV charging stations?
Blake Brothers installs Level 2 EV charging stations for Huntsville-area homes, including the dedicated 240V circuit and any panel upgrade required to support the new load. The team can also handle commercial EV charging installs for businesses adding employee or customer charging stations.
Where is Blake Brothers located?
Blake Brothers operates from 2007 North Memorial Parkway in Huntsville, ZIP 35801. Memorial Parkway runs north-south through central Huntsville, which positions the company to dispatch efficiently across most of the city as well as outlying parts of Madison County.
How do I verify Blake Brothers' Alabama license?
Blake Brothers carries Alabama state electrical contractor licensing, which is verifiable through the Alabama Electrical Contractors Board's online lookup. The company also operates under separately licensed plumbing and HVAC trades. Customers can request license numbers and certificates of insurance directly before scheduling.
Does Blake Brothers handle commercial electrical work?
Blake Brothers serves both residential and commercial electrical customers throughout Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley. Commercial work covers small office and retail spaces, restaurants, and similar properties — the team isn't sized for major industrial or multi-story projects, but covers most small-business electrical needs.
