About the shop

A small electrical company that has stayed small on purpose.

Praman Power was founded in 2014 by Steve Zimmermann. Today it is still a two-truck operation working out of a modest shop on Mountain Vista Drive — and that's exactly how we want it.

Steve Zimmermann

Meet Steve

Steve grew up in Schertz and started in the trade as a teenager, pulling wire on summer jobs with his uncle's commercial crew. After fifteen years bouncing between Houston refineries and Austin office build-outs, he came home to start a residential shop.

He holds a Texas Master Electrician license (TECL #34218) and keeps the company on the smallest end of what's reasonable — because the moment a contractor stops being on the truck, he tends to stop knowing what's actually going into walls.

Outside the shop you'll find Steve on a smoker most weekends, or at his daughter's volleyball games at Reagan High.

How we run jobs

Three rules we don't break.

01

The owner walks every estimate.

Steve writes every residential quote himself — in person, not over a phone tree. It is the only way we know how to price honestly.

02

We do not subcontract.

If a Praman truck is parked in your driveway, the people inside it are on our payroll. No rotating cast of strangers in your home.

03

Inspections come first.

Every panel swap, generator and rewire is permitted with the City of San Antonio or the appropriate AHJ. No exceptions, ever.

A short history

Eleven years, one zip code at a time.

We started with a flip phone and a pickup. Below is the short version of how we got from there to here.
