Brosvik Inc.

The electrical permits show the range. There are new houses and a whole-house job in Deer Park, a feeder pulled through existing conduit to a new shop, and septic hookups in Medical Lake and Elk. Others are a re-fed underground meter in Otis Orchards, a bent service mast and a panel change in Spokane Valley, and a master bath and sun room at Newman Lake. Smaller jobs show up too, like a vanity light box and moving circuits in a small office remodel. Since 2014 the business has also taken public work as a subcontractor for Spokane Transit Authority, SNAP and Moses Lake School District. The state lists Matthew Brosvik as a principal since 2013. This kind of shop fits homeowners with a panel upgrade, new circuits, a service repair or the electrical side of an addition or bath remodel, especially on the rural edges of the Valley and north county. The state's risk classes also cover framing, finish carpentry, flooring, insulation and painting, so one contractor can handle the wiring along with some of the finish work. Much of the public work has come as a sub to general contractors. Large commercial new construction and heavy industrial builds are a different kind of job from what this record shows. Electrical work splits into two kinds of hiring. A quick fix, like a dead circuit, a bent mast after a storm or a new fixture box, mostly needs an electrician who'll show up, pull the permit and get it inspected. A bigger project, like a new house, a shop feeder or a remodel that moves walls, needs someone who can plan the load, coordinate with the other trades and schedule inspections before anything gets covered. Around Spokane, rural lots with pedestals, septic pumps and detached shops add steps that city lots skip. Ask how the electrician sequences rough-in and inspections on a project that size.
