I was pointing out the fact that licensed electrical contractors usually do any type of work that they can handle, whether it's service work or ground up work doesn't really matter to them, money is money. Any electrician that can do ground up work can do service work as well, a contractor isn't limited in the types of jobs he can take, and he certainly isn't going to turn down work if he's slow. The same guys that wire those tract homes are the same guys that might come to your house to troubleshoot some lights that aren't working or install a ceiling fan, that's all i was pointing out.


To answer your question though, yes, i have wired a couple houses.
