I'm probably the exception here. We're licensed for home- and commercial-improvement contracting as well as electrical. Two years ago, we built a 400-sq.ft. master bedroom/bathroom addition to a house.
We dug the footing, leveled the footing concrete, did the framing, sheathing, plumbing, electrical (of course), roofing, siding, soffits and gutters, interior and exterior doors, windows, drywall hanging and finishing, finish carpentry, painting, etc.
The only work we subbed out was the new HVAC unit and the foundation brick-work. The best part was that the inspector said this was the first time anyone ever aced a final on the first go-around.

http://fineelectricco.com/pictures3.html When we do work that requires other work, such as venting an exhaust fan or over-the-stove microwave, we do everything ourselves. Being able to do drywall patching makes otherwise-impossible retro work possible, but we routinely do "impossible" fishing when we can.
"We don't need no stinkin' sub-contractors!"
