What we typically see in Crest

Common electrical scopes in Crest

Panel Upgrades (often FPE Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels in homes from this era), aluminum branch wiring remediation, service mast repair after storms, EV charger installation, electrical inspections (insurance-driven for older homes). Each project starts with a site visit to confirm conditions and write a real scope, not a phone-quoted assumption.
