If I pull an electrical permit for my home in FL can I hire a licensed journeyman electrician to do part of the work?
With you pulling the permit you are the responsible party for the work.
Hiring someone on the side is really common. I may have done this for many years myself :).
it’s not only the masters license needed to do work ( in my state general signing supervisor) but you also require a contractors license and this requires bonding. All those costs are why we charge so much.
My current apprentice I believe may be doing some work on the side for friends the same as you are doing I don’t know.
A sub for us is a very simple job, is it legal?
Only if blood related mother, father, brother, sister some states go out to grand parents, grandchildren aunts and uncles other than that no it’s not legal.
When the job is inspected usually the inspector will really look it over making sure it is done right for a homeowner. When I moved to my current location that I had not worked and pulled permits on my home I did it as a homeowner and on the inspection the inspector wanted that were not code required done and was not going to sign off until I grabbed a code book and he asked if I was licensed
After finding out I was he put his X on the paperwork.
When signed off by an electrician they look it over and test GFCI’s as that is a requirement in my state. knowing this the inspector may want more than is required by the homeowner.
Guys that work on the side for $ can be at either end of the spectrum but simple jobs like a sub should be easy for any journeyman and something my first year apprentice could do. today only very close friends get me but a young journeyman wanting some extra $ is quite normal just like a mechanic friend that works on the side.
