Before you book a electrician across White Rock, BC
- Lock the materials specification before signing the quote — substitutions during the job invariably trade-up in the contractor's favour, not the homeowner's.
- Confirm permit-pulling responsibility in writing: White Rock bylaws expect the contractor to file, but quote-text can quietly shift the duty onto the homeowner.
