Both. On a new build we are usually one of the builder's subs and we work to their schedule. On a remodel or addition plenty of owners hire us directly and we coordinate with whoever else is on site. Either way the contract, the permit, and the inspection are ours to handle.

Sometimes. A kitchen gutted back to studs, a new bath, or an addition all add circuits, and an older 100A panel often has neither the capacity nor the spaces. The load calculation is part of the estimate, so you hear the answer before the work starts rather than halfway through it — and if it is yes, our panel and service upgrades page covers what that involves.

Yes, and they come up constantly in Portland. An ADU usually needs its own subpanel and often a service upgrade at the main house, plus its own permit. We handle the design, the utility coordination where a separate meter is wanted, and the inspection.

Three visits, roughly: temporary power before the slab or framing, rough-in once the house is framed and dried in, and trim-out after paint. Each has an inspection attached, and we schedule them so nobody behind us is waiting.

We keep access holes as small as the work allows and we leave the site clean, but repair of finished surfaces is not included unless the proposal says so. On a remodel where the walls are already open this never comes up; on a rewire of a finished house we will tell you upfront where we have to get in.

Yes, and we schedule the inspections. Residential electrical work in Oregon is permitted, and unpermitted work is a problem at resale and with your insurer. You get the paperwork at the end.
