Our outlet upgrades include child-safe receptacles, countertop GFCI protection, and dedicated appliance circuits to stop unwanted breaker trips. We remove hazardous aluminum connections, correct open neutrals, and label panels clearly. You'll receive permits, inspections, test reports, and documented warranties.
Commercial and Tenant Enhancement Services
Engage with commercial and tenant improvements with a team that engineers to code, coordinates around your deadlines, and ensures uninterrupted business operations. You obtain detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and clean installations that connect to base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
We manage tenant buildouts, office electrical rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and utility service upgrades matched to actual load profiles. We deliver systematically planned conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, offer temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to maintain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we develop robust distribution that complies with equipment requirements and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, ensuring a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
You expect strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We use task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
While every project is unique, our work follows the same foundation: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that meet the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 techniques, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify all energy sources, verify no presence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment aligned with incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments validated on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment carefully and safely.
Permits Plus Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You consult NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You prepare work for each inspection, employing a thorough inspection checklist: rough-in box calculations, staple interval requirements, conductor derating, conduit support specifications, working clearance standards, service disconnect marking, bonding jumper connections, and arc-fault/GFCI protection checks. You maintain as-builts up-to-date, address red tags promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Costs and Open Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we give you plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Rely on upfront, comprehensive estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You obtain a complete breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's necessary and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Charges
Though scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You get upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we halt, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also offer bundle discounts when you package related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing secure your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, document their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You'll see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements described in easy-to-understand terms. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing prior to beginning work.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus useful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to minimize outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
