As a master electrician, I can assure you this isn't a good idea. If you have any problems, a fire, etc.- you have no recourse and can get in serious trouble for unpermitted work. The fees and fines start at 5k.

Not to mention how this undermines legit business. Uninsured and unpermitted work isn't worth the savings.

For a person who works in the trades and gets screwed by a bigger company, i could NEVER have afforded the 10k it would have cost me from the company they work for. My panel was rotten. Water leaking from the cracked duck seal at the box, my stove was on half a breaker. Inspection missed it when i got the house and i was running my stove on that.
