Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common code violations you see in Portland?
Common violations include ungrounded 3-prong outlets, lack of GFCI protection in kitchens and baths, overstuffed electrical boxes, illegal splices made outside of junction boxes, and DIY wiring mistakes.
I'm selling my property and the inspector flagged electrical issues. Can you fix them?
Yes, we specialize in resolving inspection report addendums. We will fix the flagged issues, bring them up to code, and provide the necessary documentation for your sale.
Do I have to bring my whole property up to current code?
Not usually. Electrical code is not generally retroactive. However, any new work or modifications must meet the current code, and severe safety hazards should always be corrected.
Can you fix unpermitted work done by a previous owner?
Yes. We can inspect the unpermitted work, correct any dangerous or non-compliant wiring, and pull the necessary permits to get it officially approved.
Do code corrections require a permit and inspection?
In most cases yes — corrections that involve panel work, new circuits, or bonding/grounding usually require a permit and a final inspection by the local jurisdiction. We pull the permit for you, do the work to current NEC and Oregon code, and meet the inspector on site. Call (971) 306-8484 for a quote.
