Meet the Team Behind Grayzer Electric
Jeff Gray
Owner and Master Electrician
Jeff began his journey as an apprentice electrician in September 2000 in Corpus Christi, TX. Over six years, he honed his skills with one contractor and earned his Master’s License at just 23 years old. Relocating to the Austin area, Jeff worked for two more contractors before founding Grayzer Electric in August 2011. The name “Grayzer” stems from his hockey nickname, chosen when other options weren’t available.
Based in Austin since its inception, Grayzer Electric proudly employs local electricians who reside in and around the city. Jeff remains active in hockey, playing several times a week. He resides in Hutto with his wife, Jessica, also a licensed Journeyman electrician. Together, they prioritize customer education, ensuring clients understand the services provided.

See what it takes to wrap one of our vans
1. BRAND NEW WRAP
This is what a brand new wrap looks like on one of our vans. We use Austin Color Labs for this process. They print out the sheets of vinyl on a 4′ wide printer and apply them with a slight overlap on each sheet to make the graphics line up
2. BRAND NEW WRAP
The sheets of vinyl are lightly laid on the van and held in place with magnets while they dial in their placement. Once that placement has been perfected, a squeegee will be used to apply pressure and activate the glue so it sticks to the van.
3. BRAND NEW WRAP
The vinyl is temporarily held in place with magnets and tape. The edges will be trimmed with a knife once the glue has been activated.
4. BRAND NEW WRAP
Heat can be applied to the sheets of vinyl if they get a crease or wrinkles in them. This allows the vinyl to smooth out and be reapplied tight to the surface of the van. The glue is both heat and pressure activated.
5. BRAND NEW WRAP
