How It Works

From First Visit to Final Inspection

Typical job: Varies by scope.

  1. Violation Review

    We start by reviewing any existing inspection reports, whether from the fire marshal, insurance inspector, or health department. If you don't have a report, we conduct our own code compliance assessment to identify all deficiencies before they become citations.

  2. Code Research

    Different jurisdictions and occupancy types have different requirements. We research the specific codes that apply to your facility: NEC, local amendments, ADA, and any industry-specific regulations. This ensures we address everything in one visit, not multiple rounds of corrections.

  3. Prioritized Scope & Quote

    We provide a detailed quote that prioritizes violations by severity: life safety issues first, then items that could cause shutdown, then general compliance items. You'll see exactly what needs to be fixed and why, with clear pricing for each item.

  4. Permit Application

    Code correction work typically requires permits. We submit applications with documentation showing the violations being corrected and the proposed solutions. For complex corrections, we may need to coordinate with building officials on acceptable approaches.

  5. Correction Work

    Our crews complete all corrections according to the approved plan. This might include installing GFCI protection, relocating panels for proper clearance, adding emergency lighting, upgrading to tamper-resistant receptacles, or replacing damaged equipment.

  6. ADA Modifications

    If your violations include accessibility issues, we relocate switches to proper heights, add accessible outlets, and ensure all electrical equipment meets ADA requirements. We document all accessibility improvements for your compliance records.

  7. Documentation Package

    We prepare complete documentation of all corrections: before/after photos, permit sign-offs, and a summary letter you can provide to inspectors or insurance companies. This package proves the work was done properly by a licensed contractor.

  8. Re-Inspection Coordination

    We schedule re-inspection with the appropriate authority: building department, fire marshal, or insurance inspector. Our team meets the inspector on-site to walk through all corrections and answer questions. We don't close the job until you've passed inspection.

“I had purchased a new range and when it was to be installed, it could not be because the old range requirement were met. This was not to be code. So I needed an electrician to install an outlet so they could install my new range. Same day service with this company. What great customer service.”
