Founded in 1966 by brothers R.V. (Buddy) and J.A. (Doodle) Pendarvis, B&D Electric Company has established itself as a cornerstone of electrical services in Baton Rouge and the greater Gulf South region. Over the last half-century, the company has built a reputation not just for quality workmanship but also for outstanding customer service that distinguishes it from competitors. Originating from a humble beginning in Walker, Louisiana, the Pendarvis brothers’ commitment to integrity, hard work, and craftsmanship enabled them to grow B&D Electric steadily despite the challenges faced in an evolving industry.
As the demand for their services increased, B&D Electric expanded into related fields, giving rise to subsidiaries such as B&D Plumbing and B&D Heating and Air Conditioning in the mid-70s. This growth warranted the establishment of a new facility on O'Neal Lane in Baton Rouge, allowing the company to house all three enterprises under one roof and better service its growing client base.
B&D Electric has continually adapted to meet the needs of the Baton Rouge community, offering a wide array of services including residential electrical wiring, generator installations, and remodel projects. The company has not only survived but thrived, embracing family values by having multiple generations of the Pendarvis family involved in the business. This legacy emphasizes their dedication to maintaining high standards and honoring the foundational principles of quality and responsibility that define the company.
As B&D Electric approaches its 60th anniversary, it remains committed to providing expert electrical services while evolving to meet modern needs, including efficient online service options. The Pendarvis brothers’ motto of hard work and integrity still resonates in the company’s operations today, ensuring that clients can trust B&D Electric for reliable and professional service.
