Trying to get my rental ready to sell. Decided to have the siding/soffit/fascia/gutters done to increase curb appeal and eliminate issues (leaky gutters, garage leak, etc.). Went to check on the progress Friday as I live 30 miles away. Did a walk around and couldn't believe what they did to the electrical.
My guess is they removed all anchors and let it hang/drop solely on the overhead wires and the bend going into the basement.
I immediately brought it to the attention of the 2 remaining workers who told me the utility co was responsible for fixing. I told them I doubted that as I had to replace the meter socket on my flip property last year. Reached out to utility co and they confirmed they are only responsible for getting the wire from the pole to the overhead mast.
Reached out to my electrician who I'm sure will recommend replacing the mast down to the main panel. My costs last year were $540 for similar work on the flip house.
I think the siding company should pay for half if not all of it. Everything is bent/stressed and probably a fire hazard.
Am I being unreasonable? They still have to do the gutters so I don't want to piss them off yet and have a job half finished.
