Step by Step

Our Process, Fully Explained

No vague promises. Here's exactly how every IB Electric project moves from first contact to finished job.

01
Contact

We Start by Understanding Your Situation Completely

Whether you reach out to us or we're responding to your inquiry, the first thing we do is listen. We want to understand your situation, your goals, and any concerns you have before we talk about anything else. Our job isn't just to fix electrical problems: it's to make sure you feel completely confident in the service you're receiving and the investment you're making. That starts with a real conversation.

02
Evaluation

On-Site Assessment by a Qualified Technician

Before we ever provide final pricing, one of our qualified technicians will visit your property in person. They'll evaluate the full scope of work, inspect any existing electrical systems, identify any issues that could affect the project, and make sure everything is properly assessed from the ground up. This isn't a formality: it's the step that makes everything else accurate. We don't estimate jobs blind, and we don't ask you to commit to a number that was pulled from a phone call.

Service evaluation fee: visit. A service evaluation fee of visit applies for the on-site visit. However, if you choose to move forward with IB Electric, this fee is fully credited toward your final invoice. You're not paying for a visit: you're paying for accuracy, and it comes off the total if you hire us.

03
Estimate

Accurate, Transparent Pricing: No Guesswork

Once the evaluation is complete, we provide a clear, detailed estimate based on what we actually saw at your property. The number you get reflects the real scope of work: materials, labor, and timeline. We explain exactly what's included and why. No vague line items, no hidden costs that show up later. We want you to understand what you're paying for before you agree to anything.

04
Approval

Mutual Approval Before Work Ever Begins

We don't schedule a crew until both our technicians and you: the customer: have reviewed and approved the project scope. That means you know exactly what's going to happen, when it's going to happen, and what the finished result looks like. This step protects you and holds us accountable. We move forward together, not ahead of you.

05
Execution

Precision Work Built to Code and Built to Last

Once approved, our team begins the work with a focus on precision, safety, and efficiency. Every installation meets Michigan code requirements and is done with long-term performance in mind: not just getting through the job and moving on. Throughout the project, we maintain clear communication, provide updates as needed, and make sure nothing gets missed. If something comes up during the work, we tell you about it immediately: no surprises at the end.

06
Completion

The Job Isn't Done Until You're Satisfied

At IB Electric, we don't just complete jobs: we deliver reliable electrical solutions with transparency, professionalism, and results you can trust. Before we close out any project, we make sure the work meets the highest professional standards and that you're fully satisfied with what was delivered. If it's not right, we make it right. That's not a policy: it's how we've kept customers coming back and referring their friends and family for over 20 years.

No Hidden Fees Every cost is disclosed before work starts
Clear Communication Updates throughout: never left wondering
Code Compliant Every installation meets Michigan requirements
Satisfaction Guaranteed We stand behind every job we complete

What to Expect

Working with IB Electric
Feels Different.

Clients consistently tell us the same thing: they've worked with other contractors before, and the IB Electric experience is noticeably different. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Technicians who show up on time and come prepared: ready to work the moment they arrive.
An estimate that matches the final invoice: no surprise charges, no upsells mid-project.
Work done to code the first time: no callbacks, no failed inspections, no shortcuts.
A clean job site when we're done: your property is treated with respect, start to finish.
Someone who answers the phone: before, during, and after the project.
Common Questions

Questions About Our Process

Everything you might want to know before scheduling your first appointment.

How does IB Electric handle project estimates?

IB Electric sends a qualified technician to your property for an in-person evaluation before providing final pricing. This ensures the estimate is accurate and based on the actual scope of work: not a guess made over the phone.

Does IB Electric charge for estimates?

A visit service evaluation fee applies for the on-site visit. If you move forward with IB Electric, this fee is fully credited toward your final invoice. You pay for the evaluation only if you choose not to hire us.

What happens after I contact IB Electric?

After your initial contact, we schedule an on-site evaluation, assess the project in person, provide a transparent estimate, get your approval, and then schedule the work. Nothing moves forward without your sign-off on the scope and pricing.

How long does a typical IB Electric project take?

Timeline depends on the scope. Residential jobs like panel upgrades or EV charger installations are often completed in a single day. Commercial and industrial projects are scheduled based on complexity, and a clear timeline is provided before work begins.

Does IB Electric clean up after completing the job?

Yes. IB Electric treats every property with respect. The job site is cleaned up before we leave, and the finished work area is left in proper condition. We don't consider a job done until both the work and the space meet our standards.

What if something changes during the project?

If any issue comes up during the work that affects the scope or cost, we communicate it to you immediately: no surprises at the end. We explain what was found, what it means, and what the options are before proceeding.
