We take over abandoned and failed electrical permits as contractor of record, correct the work to code, and carry it through final inspection. More than a dozen resolved across Tampa Bay and Central Florida.
These are the four calls we get most. All four are fixable.
Work stopped, calls unanswered, and the permit is still in his name. Nothing can move until the permit changes hands.
Corrections were written up and never made. The job sits, the GC is waiting, and no one wants to touch someone else's work.
Permits go inactive without progress inspections. Let it lapse and you may be re-permitting and re-paying from zero.
Open electrical permits from a prior owner can block a closing, a CO or a refinance until they're closed out properly.
No mystery, no open-ended billing. Five steps from stalled to approved.
We walk the job with the permit and the approved plans, and we open what needs opening. You get a written report of what's installed, what's missing and what has to be corrected — before anyone signs anything.
A fixed scope covering the corrections, the paperwork and the inspections. If we find something behind a wall that changes it, you hear about it before we touch it.
We file the change of contractor with the building department and handle the paperwork the jurisdiction requires. In Hillsborough County, for example, the permit transfers to the new contractor rather than being reissued, and a new Notice of Commencement has to be recorded.
We bring the installation to current NEC and to the approved plans. If the drawings themselves are the problem, we redraw them — one-lines, risers and load calculations, all in-house.
We schedule, we meet the inspector on site, and we stay on it until it's approved and the permit is closed. That last part is the whole point.
Most won't touch another contractor's job. Here's why we can.
One-lines, power risers and load calculations produced in-house as contractor of record. When the original drawings are wrong — which on a rescue they often are — we fix them without hiring an engineer and without adding weeks.
Written failure analysis with real measurements, including determination of liability when the damage came from another trade. That document protects you in a dispute, with an insurer or with the previous contractor.
Takeovers aren't a favor we do occasionally. It's a line of work we've built a process around, and we know what each building department wants before we walk in.
The exact process varies by building department, but the shape is the same everywhere in Florida. We handle all of it — you sign where the owner has to sign.
Yes. A permit is tied to the licensed contractor of record, and Florida building departments have a standard process for changing that contractor. It's routine paperwork — the hard part is finding a licensed contractor willing to put their license behind someone else's work.
Permits go inactive when too much time passes without a progress inspection. Depending on the jurisdiction you may be able to reactivate it, or you may have to apply again and pay again — and in the meantime the work can't legally continue. If your permit is close to lapsing, that's the call to make today rather than next week.
Usually not all of it. We assess what's installed against the approved plans and current code, and we're specific about what stays and what goes. Tearing out good work costs you money and costs us time — neither of us wants that. But anything unsafe or non-compliant comes out, and we'll show you why in writing.
Only if the originals are wrong or incomplete, which on a rescue is common. We produce one-line diagrams, power risers and load calculations in-house as the electrical contractor of record, so there's no engineering fee and no waiting on a third party.
The paperwork side is usually days, not weeks. The corrections depend entirely on what we find on the walkthrough — which is exactly why we assess and put a scope in writing before quoting a timeline.
Yes. We work both sides of I-4 — Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, St. Pete Beach, Riverview, Oldsmar and Ruskin on the bay side, plus Orlando, Ocala and St. Cloud in Central Florida.
