The right work. A clear plan.

Choose the help your home needs.

An assessment can support a home purchase, renovation, equipment upgrade or investigation of a specific concern. Each purpose calls for an agreed scope and the right documentation. A focused follow-up on one issue differs from reviewing a broader set of accessible components.

Contractor assessments are distinct from inspections performed by a city or Washington L&I for permitted work. We explain the findings and limitations of our scope; we do not replace the permitting authority or certify that all concealed wiring is free of defects.

Choose a service for practical planning guidance and a clear path to booking.

Make the next step a good one.

Start with the right questions.

Follow up on a report

Bring the existing inspection notes so the electrical visit can focus on the actual concerns rather than repeating a general checklist.

Plan a future upgrade

An assessment can identify capacity, access or condition questions before equipment is purchased or a remodeling schedule is fixed.

Understand the findings

Ask for a clear explanation of priorities, next steps and what could not be inspected. Corrective work is quoted separately.

Before the appointment

Clarify whether you need a written contractor assessment, repair estimate, insurance document or required permit inspection. Arrange safe access and share relevant records before the appointment. These services provide information for decisions, not an unlimited safety guarantee.

Clear expectations. Better decisions.

What affects the price?

Scope, access, number of systems and documentation requirements affect the visit price. Tell the team what you need to accomplish so the estimate matches the assessment rather than an assumed full-property inspection.

Your written estimate should identify the equipment, electrical work, access, permits and any separate trades or finish restoration. Ask about anything you do not see included.

Rooted here. Ready to help.

Local planning—not a one-size-fits-all job.

City inspection and Washington L&I responsibilities vary by address. A Seattle or Lynnwood project should be checked against its actual authority, while other service-area properties may use a different process.

Most electrical work requires a permit and inspection through the authority responsible for the address. We obtain the electrical permit for work we perform when required. Utility-service approval is a separate step when applicable. Washington electrical permit guidance ↗

Can you provide a repair estimate after an assessment?

We can discuss a corrective scope based on the findings. Further access or testing may be needed before every repair can be fully priced.

Does this replace a city inspection?

No. Permit inspections remain with the applicable authority. Our contractor assessment has a separate purpose and scope.

Can you inspect hidden wiring without opening finishes?

An accessible-system review cannot establish every concealed condition. We explain access limits and when further investigation is warranted.
