Hi,
Here is what I think..no, what I know..to be successful as an electrical contractor you need to find what you do best and stick to that.
Residential work takes "TIME ON THE POND" to gain experience. You cant go read a book and learn the practical stuff or the tricks of the trade...you will not be able to compete with the romex rangers out there who have done their time..you will redo more than you do. if you have qualified electrical inspectors out there i doubt that you could pass an inspection!
second- residential work is more complicated than almost any other work...beleive it or not.
third- residential installations have far more rules than ANY other install..
we all start somewhere! hang in there!
good luck...
regards
greg
