Common questions about electrical inspection in Alamo
How is this different from a general home inspection?
A home inspector looks at everything briefly. We open the panel, test devices, check grounding and look closely at wiring methods, which often explains items a general report only flags.
How long does an electrical inspection take?
One to two hours for most homes in Alamo, longer for large or older properties. You get the findings in writing.
What are the most common problems you find?
Missing GFCI protection, double-tapped breakers, ungrounded outlets, overloaded panels, open junction boxes and amateur wiring in garages and additions.
Will you fix what you find?
If you want us to. Each item is priced separately so you can choose. See electrical repair and panel upgrades.
In customers' words
A 1940s house with original wiring. They rewired it room by room so we could keep living there, and labeled the new panel so clearly even I can read it.
Our buyer's inspection flagged a list of electrical items. Bayshore went through each one, told us which actually mattered and fixed them before closing.
Our old 100 amp panel tripped every time the AC and dryer ran together. Bayshore quoted the 200 amp upgrade on the spot, handled the permit and had us back on by late afternoon.
