Our outlet upgrades include child-safe receptacles, countertop GFCI protection, and dedicated appliance circuits to stop unwanted breaker trips. We eliminate dangerous aluminum terminations, correct open neutrals, and mark panels with clear labels. You'll receive permits, inspections, test reports, and documented warranties.
Business and Tenant Renovation Solutions
Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that engineers to code, aligns with your timeline, and keeps operations safe and online. You receive scoped designs, stamped drawings, and professional installations that integrate with base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We specialize in tenant improvements, Office rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and power capacity enhancements designed according to actual load profiles. We deliver systematically planned conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, provide temporary power, and manage cutovers to sustain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer dependable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord requirements. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
You demand strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We wear task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
While each project is one-of-a-kind, our work is built on the same foundation: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 techniques, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Based on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine all energy sources, verify absence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment appropriate for 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 keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Permits Plus Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You review 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 detailed inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You maintain as-builts current, resolve red tags promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Costs and Direct Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state the complete scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Rely on upfront, detailed estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a detailed breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. Should field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we stop, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. We provide straightforward costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also include bundle discounts when you bundle related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing secure your budget, schedule, and safety.
Plain-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You receive circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements described in easy-to-understand terms. When we suggest electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we explain the risk, the standard, and the price before work proceeds.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus actionable energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we start with a detailed 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.
After permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
