Investors & property owners

What owners actually need from an electrician

A homeowner calls once every few years. You're calling constantly, across properties, and what matters isn't the individual repair — it's turn time, predictable cost, and not having to chase anybody.

• Unit turns — get it inspected, repaired, and rent-ready between tenants
• Due-diligence inspections before you close on a property
• Panel and service upgrades across a portfolio, scheduled in batches
• Recalled panel replacement — Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Challenger
• Aluminum branch wiring remediation
• Code violations and municipal inspection corrections
• Common area, stairwell, parking, and security lighting
• Emergency and egress lighting testing for multifamily
• Tenant-caused damage assessment and documentation

Buying something? Get it looked at first

The most expensive electrical surprises are the ones discovered after closing. A general home inspector will flag that a panel is a Federal Pacific. They won't tell you what it costs to replace it across fourteen units, or that the service feeding the building can't carry what you're planning to put in it.

We'll walk a property before you close and give you a written number for what it takes to bring the electrical to a rentable, insurable, code-current condition. That's a negotiating position, not just a repair list.

The insurance problem

Carriers have gotten aggressive about knob-and-tube, aluminum branch wiring, fuse boxes, and the recalled panel brands. Policies get declined, surcharged, or non-renewed over them, and it tends to surface at renewal rather than at a convenient moment.

If you're getting pressure from a carrier, tell us what they flagged. We'll price exactly what's needed to satisfy it, and document the work in a form you can hand back to them.

How we bill portfolio work

Consolidated invoicing across properties, referenced to your unit or property numbering rather than ours. Standing pricing for the repetitive work — a panel swap, a unit turn inspection, a fixture package — so you can budget from something other than a guess.

For managers coordinating access, tickets can be filed per unit with tenant contact and entry instructions attached, so we're not calling you to ask how to get in.

Tenant safety

Beyond the liability, the practical reality: tenants report electrical problems late, if at all. A receptacle that's been warm for six months is a fire that hasn't happened yet. Periodic inspection at turns catches most of it while it's still a repair rather than a claim.
