Do you handle both homes and small businesses?

What warranty should I expect?
Workmanship warranties are set by the contractor, and one to two years on labour is common on larger jobs, with manufacturers covering the equipment separately. Ask for the warranty terms in writing on the invoice, not verbally.

Yes — 48724 (Carrollton, Michigan, Saginaw County) is inside the coverage network, and requests from this ZIP are routed to licensed electrical contractors working the Carrollton area. Give the dispatcher the ZIP and the street so they can confirm the visit window.
Which county handles electrical permits for 48724?
