Our outlet upgrades include tamper-resistant receptacles, countertop GFCI protection, and dedicated appliance circuits to eliminate nuisance trips. We eliminate dangerous aluminum terminations, correct open neutrals, and label panels clearly. You receive permits, inspections, test reports, and documented warranties.
Commercial and Tenant Enhancement Services
Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, aligns with your timeline, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain comprehensive project designs, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that integrate with base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
Our services include tenant improvements, office electrical rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and electrical service capacity expansions matched to actual load profiles. We deliver systematically planned conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that support future expansion. We stage shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and schedule cutovers to protect uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer robust distribution that meets equipment requirements and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, delivering a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical environment.
Safety-First Practices and Code Compliance
You demand 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 to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Even though every project is unique, our work adheres to the same foundation: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that conform to 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'll find compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 approaches, validate 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.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Founded check here upon compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate 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 appropriate for 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits Plus Inspections
Prior to 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 review 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, resolve red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Clear Rates and Open Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Expect upfront, line-by-line estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You receive a thorough breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's required and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions vary—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Charges
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain 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 provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we stop, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also feature bundle discounts when you group related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing protect your safety, budget, and schedule.
Simple-Language Updates
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes immediately, 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 receive circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements presented in clear language. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we explain the risk, the standard, and the price prior to beginning work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus useful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and note access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we plan work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance requirements.
