For electricians
The same homeowner dodge. Different panel. Same seat.
Independent residential electricians work the front edge of the trade dodge list — Zelle deposit fraud on a 200A change-out lockout, NEC 2023 change-order walk-aways after a rough-in, and the post-inspection chargeback filed weeks after the AHJ sticker went green. Jobsentinel keeps Electrician reports in one trade-scoped seat so the same address on Maple Street doesn’t ghost the next licensed C-10 across town.
The electrician dodge patterns we surface
Three dodge patterns the Jobsentinel network already sees from Electricians.
The deposit dodge on a service-upgrade lockout, the NEC change-order walk-away that hides a rough-in stop-work, and the post-inspection chargeback that lands six weeks after the AHJ sticker went green. Each card below is the pattern the seat is trained to flag for Electricians.
A homeowner Zelle’s or CashApp’s a “hold the change-out window” deposit after you quote a 200-amp service upgrade, ghosts after the permit is pulled and the breaker lugs are on order, then rebids the same scope against a C-10 across town for less. You eat the trip charge, the AHJ scheduling window, and the rebid — without a network, the next electrician pulls up to the same riser and never knows the same address just walked away on a licensed pro.
Hire you for an EV charger rough-in, pay the estimate, expand the bonding and load-calculation scope every visit (“while you’re in the panel, add the garage sub-feed,” “we forgot about the spa disconnect,” “AFCI/GFCI everywhere”), and ghost before the trim-out. Each NEC change-order hides a stop-work note — the seat reads across Electricians who walked the same service across a two-month span so the change-order pattern is on file before the next rough-in bid.
A bank or card-issuer chargeback filed weeks after you’ve been paid — “the AHJ rejected it,” “the permit wasn’t pulled,” “the thermal scan shows a hot lug” — an inspection that was clearly passed and logged before the trim closed the panel. The seat logs the AHJ sticker number, the permit pull date, and the panel state at final so the peer network can attest to what was green-tagged before the cover went on.
Where the seat files mechanics liens today
Five-state scope. Mechanics-lien filings land in CA, NV, MD, AZ, RI.
The seat currently files mechanics-lien packets against the statute each state runs — California Civil Code § 8410, NRS § 108.245, Maryland Code Real Property § 9-113, A.R.S. § 33-1002, and Rhode Island General Laws § 34-28-8. Every other state is an authenticated network search only — the same five filings ship when the seat enrolls another jurisdiction.
California · CSLB
Cal. Civ. Code § 8410 (90 days post-completion) — preliminary 20-day notice already on file from the deposit phase.
Nevada · NSCO
NRS § 108.245 (90 days post-completion) — lien claimant’s notice recorded with the county recorder.
Maryland · DHCD
Md. Code Real Prop. § 9-113 (180 days post-completion) — longer window, same verification packet.
Arizona · ROC
A.R.S. § 33-1002 — claimant’s notice recorded with the county recorder; mechanics-lien prep runs on the docket.
Rhode Island · DOPL
R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-28-8 — written notice of intent recorded before the lien is filed.
Examples the seat has prepped
Three Electrician mechanics-lien filings the network already walked through.
Anonymized, scrubbed of homeowner and address detail — they’re here to show what the recovery packet looks like end-to-end. Each sample runs through the same five-state filing shape: preliminary notice at the deposit phase, balance held after final, packet prepped on schedule, claimant’s notice recorded with the county recorder.
$3,250 owed on a $7,400 panel change-out, sub-feed, and meter-main combo. Permit pulled (B-19-04412 in the anonymized record), Riverside County AHJ passed the rough and the final; the homeowner released the deposit and held the balance after the green-tag sticker. Mechanics-lien claimant’s notice recorded within the 90-day California window (Cal. Civ. Code § 8410); the 20-day preliminary already on file from the deposit phase attached to the packet.
$1,800 owed on a garage sub-panel and a Tesla wall-connector rough-in. Homeowner paid the dispatch fee, then ghosted after drywall closed the room. Lien packet drafted under NRS § 108.245 inside the 90-day completion window; the permit number and the AHJ walk-through log were attached as exhibits to the verification packet.
$680 owed on a Saturday emergency service call and meter-base reposition. Homeowner paid the dispatch via Zelle, then disputed the balance, and the card issuer opened a chargeback. Md. Code Real Prop. § 9-113 ran the 180-day filing window; the deck pinpointed the dispatch logs, the meter-base photography, and the AHJ’s green-tag sticker to perfect the lien.
These are scrubbed, anonymized filings — not the address or homeowner of any real Jobsentinel customer. The full packet (including exhibits, demand letter, and peer verification attestations) ships through the authed seat.
How the seat works for an Electrician
Three steps from sign-up to a verified Electrician report.
Same Jobsentinel flow as every other trade — the Electrician seat just narrows the network to your trade, scope, and AHJ.
- Step 01Pick Electrician at sign-up
— your seat filters reports to the trade, scope, and AHJ you actually work.
- Step 02Search the network before you quote
. Run an address, panel scope, or homeowner name and see which other Electricians have already logged the home.
- Step 03Log the home after the trim-out
. File a single-source report, attach the permit pull and AHJ sticker, and request peer verification from an Electrician in the same zip code.
Pick the seat that matches your panel jobs
One Electrician. A small crew under one C-10. Or an apprentice on a mentor.
Solo Electrician seats are the most chosen — pick the one that matches your shop. Every paid tier lands on /pricing, where Stripe checkout runs through the company Connect account.
$15
per month
One self-employed C-10 / C-2 (or local equivalent). Search the network, log jobs, attach permit + AHJ records, request peer verification, and generate mechanics-lien packets for the five states above.
Start a Solo seat$40
per month
A small residential crew (2–10 seats) under one licensed C-10 / qualifier. Pooled incident logs, a shared watchlist for repeat ghosts across your territory, and an admin seat for the lead contractor.
Start a Crew seatFree
under a licensed C-10 / C-2
For apprentices working under an enrolled mentor. Read the network, log your own rough-ins under your mentor’s seat; no charge runs through Stripe.
