Updated this week

Permits protect you and ensure code compliance:

Work requiring permits:

  • Service panel upgrades or replacements

  • New circuits or substantial wiring

  • Subpanel installation

  • Major appliance installation (AC, EV charger)

  • Outdoor electrical work

Our permit process:

  • We obtain all required permits before starting work

  • Permit costs included in your quoted price

  • We schedule inspections and ensure compliance

  • You receive copies of final inspection approval

  • Permit stays with property (helps home value)

What inspectors verify:

  • Proper wire sizing and circuit protection

  • Correct installation methods

  • Ground fault protection where required

  • Code compliance for safety

Permits take 3-7 business days to obtain. Factor this into project timeline.
