(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5,

such Forms or Schedules with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any
stock exchange, self-regulatory association or any other authority; and

(3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing that, in the opinion of each such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
to, in the best interest of, or legally required of the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as the attorney-in-fact may approve in the
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

        The undersigned hereby grants to each attorney-in-fact full power and
  authority to do and perform all and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
  necessary
or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein
granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could
do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that the attorney-in-fact, or the attorneys-in-fact
  substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of
this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned
acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, and their substitutes, in
serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming
(nor in Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. assuming) any of the undersigned's
responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. The undersigned agrees that each such attorney-in-fact may rely entirely
on information furnished orally or in writing by the undersigned to the
attorney-in-fact.

        This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5, Form 144 and
Schedules 13D and 13G (including amendments thereto) with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by Integrated
Electrical Services, Inc., unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed
  writing delivered to the foregoing attorney-in-fact. This Power of Attorney
does not revoke any other power of attorney that the undersigned has previously
granted.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of the date written below.
