FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Couve Electric offers upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You'll get a clear quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the final bill. As a licensed, owner-operated business, you work directly with me on every job — no subcontractors or middlemen marking up the cost. I'm happy to provide a free estimate, and I'll always walk you through what the work involves and why. Pricing depends on the scope of the job (repairs, installations, panel work, etc.), so reach out with your project details for an accurate quote.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When you reach out, I respond quickly — usually within a few minutes — to learn about your project. We'll talk through what you need, whether it's a repair, a new install, or panel work, and I'll ask a few questions to understand the scope. From there I provide a clear, upfront estimate so you know the cost before any work starts. Once we agree on the details, we schedule a time that works for you. Because I'm the owner and the one doing the work, you deal directly with me from that first call through job completion — no subcontractors, no handoffs. I make sure everything is done to code and that you're satisfied before I consider the job done.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've spent over a decade in the electrical trade. I began my apprenticeship at 19 and completed a full five-year program, graduating and earning my 01 journeyman electrician license. Two years later, I advanced to become a Master 01 electrician and licensed administrator/contractor in Washington State. That means I'm qualified not only to perform the full range of electrical work but also to oversee and take legal responsibility for it as a contractor. Today I run Couve Electric as a licensed, owner-operated business, bringing that training and experience directly to every job.
