Electrical Inspections.
A general home inspector notes that the panel “appears serviceable.” We open it. Whether you’re buying, insuring, or renting out a property, our inspections tell you what the wiring actually is — in writing, with photos, priorities, and real repair numbers.
What we actually look at
Service size and condition, panel workmanship and brand history, grounding and bonding, GFCI/AFCI coverage, a sampling of devices and junctions, visible wiring eras (knob-and-tube, aluminum, cloth), and the little tells — double-taps, scorch marks, DIY splices — that predict the big problems.
Reports built for decisions
Findings sorted into safety-now, plan-for, and cosmetic, each with a realistic repair range from the people who would actually do the work. For insurance letters and rental compliance, we document to what the carrier or program actually asks — no more, no less.
What the written report gives you
Every inspection produces the same deliverable: a plain-language written report with photos, findings sorted into safety-now, plan-for, and cosmetic, and realistic repair ranges for each — from the company that would actually do the work, which keeps the numbers honest. No jargon walls, no alarm theater, no padding.
That document does real work in the world: it negotiates purchase prices, satisfies insurance underwriters, closes registration requirements for rentals, and gives owners a maintenance roadmap ranked by actual risk. A surprising number of clients tell us the report paid for itself before the first repair was ever scheduled.
The inspections this region asks for
Our inspection calendar tracks the region's rhythms: pre-purchase inspections inside real-estate contingency windows (we schedule against your date, not our convenience), insurance-letter responses for older homes, annual safety checks for short-term rentals building their compliance file, camp assessments for new owners inheriting five decades of mystery wiring, and pre-listing inspections for sellers who'd rather fix quietly than negotiate loudly.
Each type gets documentation matched to who's going to read it — buyer, underwriter, registrar, or you. Thirty years of writing these means we know what each audience actually needs to see.
