A+ was not able to meet a morning start time; my notes indicated I was to call in the afternoon if I still needed them. Mid-morning I received a call from A+; I explained another company was on site and scoping the work. The response was "thanks for calling" and A+ notified the county inspector that "unpermitted" work was being performed, which caused the county inspector to arrive at my home. Required permits are in process for moving the two light switches, drywalling commences on schedule tomorrow. A+ will NOT be a candidate for rewiring the top half of this 1902 house.
Description of Work: Move two lighting switches to new locations.

Response from A+ ELECTRICAL SERVICES INC
PERMITTING IS REQUIRED FOR ALL ELECTRICAL WORK PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF OREGON...WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE CUSTOMER FRIDAY AFTERNOON I INFORMED HIM THAT I WAS GOING TO BE OUT OF TOWN ON MONDAY MORNING BUT WOULD OBTAIN AN ELECTRICAL PERMIT FROM THE CORRECT JURISDICTION ON MY RETURN TO TOWN AND WOULD CALL HIM TO PROVIDE AN ETA TO HIS RESIDENCE. WHEN I CALLED, AS I WAS GOING TO GET THE PERMIT, HE INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD ANOTHER CONTRACTOR ON SITE AND NO LONGER NEEDED MY ASSISTANCE. I FELT THAT IT WAS INCONSIDERATE OF THE CUSTOMER TO NOT HAVE CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT HE HAD WENT WITH ANOTHER CONTRACTOR SINCE I WAS TRYING TO BE ACCOMMODATING ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE. I CALLED THE LOCAL INSPECTOR TO SEE IF THE CONTRACTOR HAD PULLED A PERMIT FOR THE PURPOSED WORK. THE CUSTOMER'S CONTRACTOR DID NOT PULL A PERMIT...I CAN ONLY ASSUME PER THE CUSTOMERS REQUEST AS HE HAD STATED TO ME THAT HE WAS A RETIRED ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND THEREFORE DIDN'T WANT TO PULL PERMITS. AT THAT TIME I INFORMED THE INSPECTOR THAT WORK WAS BEING DONE NON-PERMITTED AND TO PLEASE LOOK INTO IT.....A+ ELECTRICAL SERVICES IS NOT GOING TO RISK IT'S GREAT NAME AND CREDITABILITY AS WELL AS BE FINED BY THE JURISDICTION FOR ONE CUSTOMER'S DESIRE TO CIRCUMVENT THE SYSTEM. THANK YOU, JIM COURTNEY, A+ ELECTRICAL SERVICES

Very efficient and described in detail what he planned to do. Came back several times, as the remodel was done in stages, affecting when he could do new wiring. Jim offered valuable suggestions on ways to improve the project and to maximize the lighting.
Description of Work: Rewired remodeled kitchen: added can lights, plugs, switches and outlets. Wired for new appliances and garbage disposal. Moved some receptacles.
