Our outlet upgrades include tamper-resistant receptacles, countertop GFCI protection, and dedicated appliance circuits to eliminate nuisance trips. We replace unsafe aluminum terminations, correct open neutrals, and provide clear panel labeling. We provide permits, inspections, test reports, and documented warranties.
Business and Tenant Improvement Solutions
Engage with commercial and tenant improvements with a team that engineers to code, schedules to your milestones, and ensures uninterrupted business operations. You obtain comprehensive project designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that connect to base-building systems without disrupting revenue hours.
We handle Tenant fit outs, Office rewiring, distribution panel improvements, and power capacity enhancements matched to actual load profiles. We provide carefully coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that support future expansion. We organize shutdowns, offer temporary power, and schedule cutovers to sustain uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we build reliable distribution that adheres to equipment specs and landlord standards. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, ensuring a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical environment.
Safety-First 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 wear task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Although each project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same basis: strict conformity to 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 check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 methods, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Based on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify 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 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 keep control of keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You reference 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 precise inspection checklist: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You maintain as-builts current, address red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Honest Costs and Direct Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, line-by-line estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You get a detailed breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
While scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide straightforward costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you package related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing preserve your safety, budget, and schedule.
Simple-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, note their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades in simple terms. If we propose panel derating or arc-fault protection, we'll explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus actionable energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule website work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and perform installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
