                                AMENDMENT NO. 1


           This Amendment No. 1 dated as of September 30, 1998 (this
"Agreement"), is among Integrated Electrical Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower"), the undersigned financial institutions parties to
the Credit Agreement referred to below (the "Banks"), and NationsBank, N.A., as
agent (the "Agent") for the financial institutions that are parties to the
Credit Agreement.

                                  INTRODUCTION

           Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 30, 1998
(as modified, the "Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower, the Banks, and the
Agent, the defined terms of which are used herein unless otherwise defined
herein. The Borrower, the Banks, and the Agent have agreed to increase the
amount of the aggregate consideration which the Restricted Entities may pay in
connection with any Acquisition without obtaining the prior consent of the
Majority Banks and to make other amendments to the Credit Agreement as set
forth herein in connection therewith.

           THEREFORE, in connection with the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the Borrower, the Banks, and the Agent hereby agree as
follows:

           Section 1.    Amendment.

           1.1 Section 5.9(ii)(B) of the Credit Agreement is amended by
replacing such Section in its entirety with the following:

                     (B) the aggregate of all consideration (other than common
           stock of the Borrower) paid by the Restricted Entities in connection
           with any Acquisition does not exceed $30,000,000 without the prior
           consent of the Majority Banks,

           1.2 Section 5.9(ii)(C) of the Credit Agreement is amended by
replacing such Section in its entirety with the following:

                     [intentionally deleted]


           Section 2. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents
and warrants that (a) the execution, delivery, and performance of this
Agreement are within the corporate power and authority of the Borrower and have
been duly authorized by appropriate proceedings, (b) this Agreement constitutes
legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and general principles of equity, and (c) upon the effectiveness of

in each Credit Document are true and correct in all material respects, no Event
of Default exists under the Credit Documents, and there shall have occurred no
event which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default under
the Credit Documents.

           Section 3. Effect on Credit Documents. As amended herein, the Credit
Documents remain in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth
herein, nothing herein shall act as a waiver of any of the Agent's or the
Banks' rights under the Credit Documents as amended, including the waiver of
any default or event of default, however denominated. The Borrower must
continue to comply with the terms of the Credit Documents, as amended. This
Agreement is a Credit Document for the purposes of the provisions of the other
Credit Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, any breach of
representations, warranties, and covenants under this Agreement may be a
default or event of default under other Credit Documents.

           Section 4. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective as of
the date hereof when the Agent shall have received duly executed counterparts
hereof signed by the Borrower, the Agent, and the Majority Banks.

           Section 5. Miscellaneous. The miscellaneous provisions of the Credit
Agreement apply to this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. This

THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR
SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
