"He finished the roof but did not tell me about the error in his workmanship. He did not finish the whole work. Update 12/22/2021: He finished the roof and said he fixed the problem, he showed me how he was to complete the repairs and after it was complete the work was not done in the manner he said he would do it. A new problem was noticed with the shingles and they are overhanging on a peak of the roof and are not attached and will blow off with high winds. The second part of the job, to put two sides on the shed was not done properly, he is charging me to come out to fix it, which is ridiculous, that is why contractors put that in their estimates. He was going to come out on a Saturday but change to Friday since it was going to rain on Saturday, when he called me and by the time he arrived on the job site it would be dark, I told him I did not want him to work in the dark with a flashlight. he keeps giving me excuses on why he cannot come out on certain days for personal reasons. The job should have been completed in October, except for his constant excuses for not being able to come out. If the problems are not resolved by the end of the year I will escalate this by other means."

"I had a federal pacific panel replaced. The technician and work were professional. However, I explained to the technician that I lost power in a large section of wall. After the job was complete, I found I still didn’t have power in the wall. Now I’m being told it is a separate job and cost. An explanation before having the work done about it being a separate problem and needing additional work would have been very helpful. All I’m told now is they can come out for a service call which is $212 plus whatever the issue is. This was a miscommunication error on Mr. Electrics side. I informed the tech about the problem and there was no testing on the wall afterwards. Very disappointed."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Reading, most electrical projects—whether residential or commercial—require an electrical permit issued by the City of Reading Building and Trades Division. Permit applications can be submitted through the city's official permit portal. Fees vary based on project scope, and inspections by city officials are mandatory to ensure compliance with the National Electrical Code and local ordinances before final approval.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Reading, PA, it's best to use materials that meet both National Electrical Code and local code requirements. THHN or THWN-2 wiring is commonly approved for residential use, and metal conduit is often required for added protection in certain areas. The City of Reading Building and Trades Division recommends sourcing materials from local suppliers familiar with city standards to ensure code compliance.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Reading often overlook the need for proper electrical permits or use materials not approved by the City of Reading Building and Trades Division. Skipping required inspections or failing to follow local code amendments can lead to project delays, failed inspections, or safety hazards. To avoid these issues, always consult city guidelines, use approved materials, and consider professional help for complex electrical work.

Helpful?

In Reading, hiring a licensed electrician ensures your project meets all local code requirements and passes city inspections, as required by the City of Reading Building and Trades Division. While DIY may save on labor costs, unpermitted or non-compliant work can result in fines or failed inspections. For complex electrical projects, professional expertise is recommended to ensure safety, compliance, and proper insurance coverage.

Helpful?

Before beginning electrical work in Reading, review the City of Reading Building and Trades Division's permit requirements and prepare detailed project plans. Submit your permit application early, as inspections are typically scheduled within a few business days. Confirm your materials and methods meet both the National Electrical Code and local amendments to avoid failed inspections or costly revisions during your electrical project.
