Code Corrections

Failed an inspection, or found DIY work that isn’t right? We correct code violations cleanly and get it signed off.

Free, no-obligation first visit. CA licensed & insured.

Code exists for a reason, and electrical code especially. When an inspection turns up violations, or you discover that a previous owner or handyman did work that was never right, correcting it properly protects the house and everyone in it. We fix the actual issue and document it so it passes.

We handle everything from missing grounds and improper splices to overloaded circuits and unpermitted additions. Where a permit and re-inspection are needed, we pull them and see the correction through, so you end up with paperwork that matches reality.

What our code corrections covers

  • Failed-inspection corrections
  • Ungrounded or improperly grounded circuits
  • Illegal splices and junction-box violations
  • Overloaded or undersized circuits
  • Unpermitted work brought into compliance
  • Permits and re-inspection handled

How code corrections works with us

Every code corrections job starts the same way: we come look at what you actually have. There is no charge to find out what you need, and there is no pressure. We walk the situation, ask how you use the space, and then explain in plain language what the work involves and exactly what it’ll cost before anything begins.

Because we are owner-operated, the person who looks at your code corrections project is the same person who performs it. Nothing gets handed off to a rotating crew, and nothing gets quoted by someone who never sees the job. That continuity is why our work holds up and why so much of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals across Sonoma County.

What to expect on the day

We show up when we say we will, protect your floors and finishes, and keep the work area clean. When a code corrections job needs a permit, we pull it and handle the inspection, so the work is documented and safe. When we leave, the site is tidy and you know exactly what was done and why. You always have a direct line back to the owner if a question comes up later.

We also take the time to answer your questions while we are there. Part of doing code corrections right is making sure you understand what changed and how to get the most out of it, whether that is how a circuit is protected, how a control is programmed, or what to watch for down the road. You are never left guessing, and if something needs attention later, you reach the same person who did the work, not a call center.

Local knowledge that shows up in the work

After more than a decade wiring homes across Sonoma, Marin, Napa, and Solano counties, we know how the local grid behaves, which permit desks want what, and how Wine Country homes are actually built. That experience is what lets us diagnose a code corrections situation quickly and get it right the first time, instead of learning on your dime.

Code Corrections for North Bay homes

Sonoma County properties are not interchangeable. A century-old farmhouse in Sebastopol, a hillside home above Healdsburg, and a fresh build in Windsor each ask for a different approach. We bring over a decade of local knowledge to every code corrections job, so the result fits the home, meets current California code, and stands up to how you actually use it. If you have been putting off code corrections because you were not sure who to trust, this is the kind of work we built our name on.

Why it pays to do it right

Cutting corners on electrical work is the most expensive kind of saving. A code corrections job done to a price instead of a standard tends to come back as a callback, a failed inspection, or worse. Our diagnostic approach and meticulous craftsmanship cost a little more attention up front and save you the repeat visits later, which is why homeowners across Sonoma County keep calling us and referring us to their neighbors.

Ready to move forward, or just want a straight answer on whether code corrections is what you actually need? Call (707) 684-0024 or request a free, no-obligation visit. The owner takes the call, looks at the work himself, and tells you plainly what it will take and what it’ll cost. You can also browse the gallery to see the standard of work we hold on every job.
