How it works
Call or text the 24/7 dispatch line, or email us — what you need, your city, and a photo of your panel, furnace/AC data tag, or plumbing setup.
Ampacity, breaker space, equipment specs, permit requirements — checked from your photos so the contractor shows up knowing the job.
One local Downriver shop, license number and Certificate of Insurance verified in writing. Not five strangers with your phone number.
Why homeowners use TradeScope
You're not hiring us to do the work. You're using an electrical apprentice's eye to scope it and a written verification standard to pick who does it. I'm Scott Lynch, a Southgate resident and an electrical apprentice working full-time — I started TradeScope because finding a licensed tradesman Downriver shouldn't mean gambling on 40 random comments.
Popular services
Older Downriver panels weren't built for central air, EV chargers, and hot tubs. We pre-scope your panel from a photo and match you with one licensed electrical shop.
Level 2 EV charger circuits scoped from photos of your panel — ampacity, breaker space, and the wire run to your garage.
Listed interlock kits, 30A/50A inlet boxes, and transfer switches — scoped from photos of your panel and meter wall.
No-heat calls, furnace replacement, AC installs and tune-ups. A photo of your furnace data tag tells the tech your tonnage, age, and parts before they drive out.
Drain work, water heaters, and permitted plumbing repairs from licensed local shops.
