Electrical Inspection questions from Portola customers
How long does an electrical inspection take?
One to two hours for most homes in Portola, 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.
Is this the same as a city permit inspection?
No. Permit inspections are done by the building department on new work. Ours is an independent assessment of the existing system. Related: house rewiring and smoke detector wiring.
What customers say
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.
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.
Half the house went dark at 9 pm and an outlet smelled hot. They talked me through shutting off the breaker and had someone at the door that night. He fixed a burned connection and checked the rest of the circuit.
