Santa Margarita electrical inspection FAQs
How long does an electrical inspection take?
One to two hours for most homes in Santa Margarita, 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.
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.
They wired our kitchen remodel from rough-in to final. Island outlets, under-cabinet lights and all the appliance circuits. Our contractor asked for their number.
