Is This You?

Signs You Need This

Planning a home addition
Additions need new circuits, often panel upgrades, and must tie into existing systems properly. Include electrical in early planning.
Kitchen or bathroom remodel planned
Kitchen and bath remodels have specific electrical code requirements. Plan electrical with your remodel design.
Finishing a basement
Basement finishes need proper lighting, outlets every 12 feet, GFCI protection, and often dedicated circuits for media rooms.
Converting garage to living space
Garages converted to living space need heating/cooling circuits, proper lighting, and outlets meeting living area codes.
Building a new home
New construction requires complete electrical design, rough-in, inspections, and final trim. We handle all phases.
Adding a detached garage or workshop
Detached buildings need separate sub-panels, underground wiring, and proper disconnects.
Builder didn't include electrical allowance
Some builders provide basic electrical. We upgrade to your desired level: more outlets, better lighting, smart home wiring.
Remodel plans don't show electrical
Many remodel plans lack electrical details. We'll create an electrical plan that meets code and your needs.

How It Works

From First Visit to Final Inspection

Typical job: Varies by project.

  1. Plan Review & Bid

    We review your architectural plans, discuss your electrical requirements (outlet locations, lighting vision, special circuits), and provide a detailed bid covering all materials and labor. For remodels, we assess existing conditions.

  2. Electrical Design

    We create or refine the electrical plan showing outlet locations, switch positions, fixture rough-in points, and circuit assignments. We ensure adequate circuits for kitchens, bathrooms, and special equipment.

  3. Permit & Scheduling

    We pull the electrical permit and coordinate with your general contractor on scheduling. Rough-in happens after framing is complete and inspected, but before insulation.

  4. Rough-In

    We install all electrical boxes, run wiring through studs and joists, and stub out circuits for future fixtures. Panel location is set, and all home runs are pulled to the panel location. Low-voltage wiring (data, coax) is roughed in.

  5. Rough-In Inspection

    We schedule the rough-in inspection with your municipality. The inspector verifies proper wire sizing, box fill, AFCI/GFCI circuit planning, and code compliance. This must pass before drywall can be installed.

  6. Trim-Out

    After drywall, paint, and flooring are complete, we return to install all devices (outlets, switches, dimmers) plus light fixtures, the electrical panel, and make final connections. This is when the space comes to life.

  7. Final Inspection

    We schedule the final electrical inspection. The inspector verifies all devices are properly installed, AFCI/GFCI protection is working, panel labeling is complete, and the system is safe for occupancy.

  8. Walkthrough & Handoff

    We walk through the completed space with you, explain any special features, demonstrate smart controls, and ensure everything meets your expectations. We provide panel documentation and warranty information.

“Called about one of my smoke detectors not working properly. They came out and found two not working as they should. They also replaced my other detectors at my request. They are scheduled to come back this coming Monday to replace and connect my two defective detectors back with my other units. Very happy with the service they provided. They explained what was additionally wrong and what needed to be done and provided an estimate of the services. I would definitely recommend First Choice and Sam in particular.”

Yes. We work with many local builders and general contractors. We coordinate schedules and integrate with other trades.

Can you work from plans?

Yes. We can bid and execute from architectural and electrical plans.

What about additions to my existing home?

We handle additions of all sizes, tying new electrical into your existing panel and system.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. We pull all required permits and coordinate inspections.

Can you upgrade the panel as part of a remodel?

Yes. We'll review your plans, suggest outlet/switch locations, recommend lighting layouts, and ensure adequate circuits for your needs.

What if we change plans during construction?

Changes happen. We adapt as needed, though major changes after rough-in inspection may require additional permits and costs.

Our remodeling partner

Is this part of a bigger remodel?

If the walls are coming down, the basement is getting finished or the deck is going in, SC2 Contracting builds it and we do the electrical, on one schedule. Talk to Sean first and both trades show up in one quote; or book us and we will bring Sean in.
