Electrician Kendall

Yes, you can always get someone to do the job cheaper and faster by not pulling permits, but it puts you and your family/employees at great risk when you do so. Also, what happens if you don't pull permits and something goes wrong, like a fire? Chances are that your insurance company will make sure that the appropriate permits were in place, and, if not, you may not be covered! o A great electrician will always call you back within 24- hours or less, provide a well documented written estimate outlining all labor and materials, and put a timeframe on the estimate as well. TIP: Let's say that the project unexpectedly "grows" at some point, and through no fault on anyones part you have to spend more to get it done. A great electrician will stop and provide an written addendum to the original estimate so that you know what to expect at the final bill. o A great electrician will always listen to what you want to have done, and then make recommendations based on their expert opinion. There are many things that need to be factored into a rewiring job, for instance: (total amperage usage, dedicated circuits for computers, high wattage kitchen work lights, vacuum cleaner usage, types of bulbs needed, existing wiring, etc etc) A great electrician will factor in all of the ancillary things that you might not think about, explain them, and give you options on which direction you want to go. o A great electrician will always wear those funny shoe covers when coming into your home from the attic or the basement. They also won't ever leave a mess of dust and debris once they are done. o A great electrician will install parts that are designed for long-term use and wear. Any time you have electrical work done, you should also keep in mind the resale value of your home/office. Good contractor grade materials will only add to the value of your home/office, and will insure a great inspection report before the sale. STEP SIX: Hiring your electrician Make sure before work begins that you have signed an official estimate approved by you and the contractor. Make sure that you have allotted enough time for the work to take place (major electrical projects the night before a big party is not a great idea!) Make sure that all permits are in hand and posted appropriately. TIP: Don't let price alone determine who gets the project. Go with a company that you trust, has good references, and has open communication with you about the project.
