Greater Seattle Area Electrician
Hello Puget Sound.
I had an electrical contracting company a few years back but the partnership went sour and we had to close doors. I went to work for the man, and still am.
I made this thread a while back to help out this community the best I could:

I am considering opening up shop again, but at this point I have 3 kids and a mortgage.. so I am trying to drum up enough work to support my family before I quit my job and work for myself.
Ok the rub. Does anyone know of anyone looking for an electricain? I am looking for large projects, but still doable by just myself and an apprentice. New construction is ideal, but large flip projects or rewires will work all the same. I won't be able to do anything for a month or so at best, but I'd love to see what's out there.
Lastly, what's the going hourly rate for a good two man crew these days? I recognize most will do bids, which I prefer as well... but its hard to get a baseline that way.

I'm currently a licensed electrician but I don't have bond / insurance / company set up yet.
Actually Natalie I believe we've been in touch before about accounting services. I think I need to have a sit down to discuss how to set everything up for both my company to be, and my wife's (RE agent).
