Twenty Years Wiring DC-Area Commercial Properties
Pirro Electric has served as a commercial electrical contractor across Washington, D.C., Montgomery County, and Northern Virginia since 2003. From single-tenant retail fit-outs to multi-building portfolios, our master electricians plan, permit, and execute electrical infrastructure that passes inspection the first time.
We work directly with property managers, general contractors, and building owners — so scope, schedule, and budget stay aligned from day one. Every job is insured and backed by Maryland, D.C., and Virginia electrical licenses.
Tenant Improvements & New Build-Outs
Whether you're delivering a vanilla shell or a turnkey buildout, we handle the full electrical scope: branch circuits, lighting, dedicated equipment circuits, low-voltage rough-ins, panel additions, and final trim. We coordinate with HVAC, plumbing, and IT trades so your space opens on time.
Common tenant work includes office and medical fit-outs, restaurant kitchens and hood circuits, retail lighting, and warehouse high-bay installations.
Parking Lots, Pole Lighting & Signage
Exterior lighting is one of the most-deferred maintenance items on commercial properties — and one of the most visible. We troubleshoot dark fixtures, replace ballasts and drivers, swap sodium and metal halide for LED retrofits, and repair damaged poles and bases. Illuminated signage, parking-lot photocells, and timeclock controls are part of the same call.
Property Maintenance at Scale
Across 23 years in business, Pirro Electric keeps 100+ DMV communities and properties on recurring maintenance and has completed 500,000+ jobs — restaurants, retail centers, office buildings, condo common areas, and shopping plazas. Long-running relationships with builders, commercial property managers, and general contractors mean we already know your buildings, your panels, and your priorities before the call comes in.
Service contracts cover lighting, panel loads, outlet and circuit repair, exterior pole and signage maintenance, restaurant and retail buildouts, new construction support, and same-day response for outages and hazards.
Service & Maintenance Contracts
Most of our commercial clients are on monthly or quarterly maintenance schedules. We track lamp counts, panel loads, and known issues across your portfolio so problems get caught before tenants call. For after-hours emergencies, our team responds 24/7 across the DC metro area.
Electrical Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Troubleshooting is one of the strongest things we do. Across 23 years and 500,000+ jobs, we've built up deep diagnostic experience on the kind of hard, intermittent commercial faults other electricians give up on — phantom breaker trips, partial-power conditions, nuisance GFCI/AFCI behavior, voltage drop nobody can source, equipment damage from loose neutrals, and faults that only show up under specific load or weather.
We've never walked away from a fault we couldn't solve. We meter it, isolate it, and fix the actual root cause — not the nearest symptom.
