Got a call the other day from a guy who got busted without a permit. This is what I found ( I could actually post 10 pictures, but I chose the three most offending ones). And yes, that box actually has rommex coming in the front. The "electrician" just buried it behind the wall) I gave the guy a price and, of course, the guy proceeded to cry how he already spent a lot of money and this is way out of his budget. I told him flat out that not only I have to install it properly, but I have to spend time to find and remove what the handyman installed. And make sure there's not other wires behind the wall.
Anyone else is tired of people hiring handymen doing this kinda work, and when it has to be fixed. they expect legit contractors to do it for free? I mean what I found is downright criminal. I can not go against my customer, but I really feel like getting code enforcement on arresting whoever did this.
Strangely enough, I did get the job, and it wasn't anywhere near being competitive.
