Safety-Priority 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 utilize task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
While each project is one-of-a-kind, our work adheres to the same basis: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 techniques, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Building 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 lack of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment matched to incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You check here use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments validated on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Licensing and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 stage work for each inspection, using 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 ensure as-builts current, address red tags promptly, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Rates and Straightforward Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we deliver plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, detailed estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You get a thorough breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions change—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Surprise Fees
Though scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You get upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we pause, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll receive straightforward costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also provide bundle discounts when you bundle related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations.

Project Workflow: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and perform installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
