Low-Cost Baseline Tier for Price-Sensitive Electrical Jobs
The "Good" tier addresses the customer's immediate issue at the lowest legitimate price. It uses only the minimum code-compliant repair or replacement, standard materials, and the usual warranty. Its role is to give cautious customers a real entry-level option so they do not walk away from the estimate. By presenting a true compliant baseline, the contractor avoids an all-or-nothing decision that can happen with a single quoted price.
