Api Electric.

The state insures Api Electric under a single workers'-comp class, building wiring and floodlight installation, and the permit record matches it. Commercial lighting retrofits show up again and again: old six-lamp high bays and fluorescent troffers swapped for LED fixtures with occupancy sensors. There's also heater and lighting replacement in valve rooms, relocation of large three-phase services, and plenty of smaller miscellaneous jobs. The company advertises residential, commercial, industrial and telecommunications work, and says it offers payment plans. It traces its start to 2017 under a predecessor, A PI Company LLC. The state lists Jacob Stermer and Marilyn Castro as principals since 2019. A shop this size fits a defined job: a panel or service upgrade, new circuits for a bathroom remodel, or replacing the lighting in a home, shop or small commercial space. The owner is on site, so the person quoting the work is usually the person doing it. Very large industrial or telecom builds that need a big crew are a different kind of contractor's work. In Spokane, Spokane Valley and the surrounding towns, most electrical work beyond swapping a fixture or a device needs an electrical permit, and Washington L&I handles those inspections in much of the area. Service upgrades, panel replacements, new circuits, RV hookups and remodel wiring all fall in that group. Expect the electrician to pull the permit and schedule the inspection. That puts the work on record, which matters for insurance and when the house is sold, and a homeowner should be wary of anyone who suggests skipping it.
