Green Flags: Signs of Quality Work
- Pulls permits before starting — not after, not "later"
- Labels every circuit in the panel clearly
- Uses correct wire gauge for each circuit's amperage
- Installs GFCI and AFCI protection where required
- Leaves the panel clean and organized
- Schedules and passes city inspection
- Provides documentation of all work performed
- Answers your questions without pressure or dismissiveness
Red Flags: Signs of Poor or Dangerous Work
- Skips the permit — "It's just a small job"
- Messy, tangled wiring in the panel
- Unlabeled or mislabeled breakers
- Uses wire nuts instead of proper connectors in wet areas
- Pressures you to skip inspection
- Cannot provide license number
- Significantly lower price than all other quotes (usually means cutting corners)
