My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Electrical Panel Cover?

13 years ago
Is that an electrical panel in the corner with a false cabinet door covering it? If so, can you verify that this meets the intent of NEC? We would like to do something similar, but having a hard time interpreting the code in the way we'd like to.... =)
Thanks!

    We are unsure what you mean by NEC, however that being said we have done the false cabinet covering in many basement projects and have passed inspection with no issues. Just keep in mind the panel needs to remain accessible to pass code. If you have more questions please feel free to call us at 612-789-8506

    Thank you!
