Not a tech bro.

About Matt

We know exactly where you're standing

Loadside was founded by Matt Long — 20 years around the trade, 15 of them in residential electrical services across Northern Virginia, helping run one of the region's most established and highest-rated electrical companies. He's scoped the jobs, run the trucks, built the systems, and sat across the kitchen table from the customers.

That's the honest origin of Loadside: a demand machine producing more sold, premium work than its own trucks can reach — and real respect for the veteran solo electrician, because that's where every good shop starts. We built the network we wish had existed back when it was one van and a phone that needed to ring.

What we believe

The code we work to

RULE 01

Skill Should Beat Ad Budgets

The best electrician in the county shouldn't lose to whoever spends most on Thumbtack. Good hands, kept busy — that's the thesis.

RULE 02

Say The Quiet Part Out Loud

Our margin, our angle, our reasons — stated plainly, every time. Deals only hold up when both sides can see the whole board.

RULE 03

Your Business Is Sacred

We will never poach your customers, your name, or your independence. Company to company, or not at all.
