If the person you hired to work on your project or your house shows up with shinny new looking tools and and safety vest and,hard hat its clear sign that there not experienced and your probably will be one left to deal with it anyway and probably cost you more in the end be smart get amd use references and referrals before wasting time and money.Real knowledge and real skills aren't cheap, have them give you few locations and or people that they done quality work for prior before opening that can of I told you so. Just stop and think before you sink.

Don't be duped by hiring unqualified people to work just because they say they can. Have them give you at least two qualified references from other happy and content customers. Just remember, completing an apprenticeship takes 8,000 log hours of hands-on experience and 578 hours of classes just to be an apprentice electrician before you could be sent out on your own for a company. Never mind how hard it is to be a journeyman and the years of sweat and the hard physical and mental toll it takes. Be smart, it's your home, your castle. Think about what they charge you when you hire. And wait till you have call in proffesional with real experience and knowledge. Just be smart ive got 47 yrs in trade in industrial, commercial & residential. With documented proof in all phases but glad to be retired. Just be smart.

I've worked doing electric for 47 yrs and I have been all across this country and to purtrico doing electric, but some of most shady electric i have ever seen is hear in tn, all diy s**t and s**t that passes is mind blowing. Or doesnt raise a red flag is astonishing to say the least Improper wire ,know connectors, all knock outs punched out and exposed, indoor romex just buried in ground not even conduit, or exposed to elements. And to top it off some of these guys that work in lowes and home depot are also part of problem its all about sale not questiing what and why. Just give customer what they think they need.
