If you need electrical work performed in your home, especially during a major renovation, you should hire a master electrician rather than a general contractor. Master electricians have extensive knowledge about their field that general contractors lack. Here are the major differences between the two occupations.
General Contractor
As the name implies, a general contractor is a jack-of-all-trades. They are good for doing things such as installing fixtures, replacing your home’s siding or building a deck.
However, general contractors don’t specialize in any one type of skilled trade. This means they can do jobs that don’t require specialized knowledge. If what you need done in your home is difficult, complex or dangerous, you’ll want to hire someone who specializes in that area, rather than a general contractor.
Master Electrician
It takes years of study and experience to become a master electrician. A journeyman electrician has spent extensive time in a classroom and working alongside an electrician in the field. A master electrician has received far more training than that. They can supervise other electricians and own their own business.
A master electrician will get your job done right the first time. You won’t waste money on a botched attempt and need to have everything done again. They also have access to high-quality tools and equipment needed to do electrical work correctly and safely that general contractors don’t.
