We wear task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Although every project is distinct, our work adheres to the same core principles: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You will more info see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 approaches, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate 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 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 in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the right permit scope, confirm 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a precise 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 ensure as-builts up-to-date, resolve red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Honest Fees and Straightforward Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, comprehensive estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You receive a complete breakdown linked 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 know what's needed and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. When field conditions change—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access specifications, 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
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. We provide transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you bundle related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing preserve your budget, schedule, and safety.
Simple-Language Modifications

You'll also receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus helpful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we initiate a detailed on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we plan work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and perform installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
