What these pages are, and are not
ROIzilla sells growth and follow-through work
We review the customer journey, intake, follow-up, estimating support, scheduling and reporting around this trade. Scope and fees require a proposal.
This is not electrical, legal or engineering advice
Regulated electrical and specialty work must be performed by appropriately qualified personnel. Permits, inspections and sealed engineering stay with the authority having jurisdiction and the qualified engineer.
These pages are not a contractor directory. Source datasets also contained 718 third-party company names and 280 product records, all marked as requiring verification, so none is presented here as verified, recommended or available.

Where the money usually leaks
Enquiry to quote
Most trades lose margin before anyone picks up a tool: unowned after-hours calls, quotes sitting in an inbox, and no record of why a job was declined.
Quote to close
The follow-up after a quote is written is where momentum dies. Without an owner and a sequence, a warm enquiry cools in days.
Delivery to repeat work
Repeat revenue depends on closeout quality, maintenance framing and a reactivation date. Most systems capture none of it.
Dispatch and capacity
Unreviewed scope, missing prerequisites and unconfirmed parts turn a booked week into a broken one.

Questions before you start
Do you perform electrical work or supply materials?
No. ROIzilla sells growth, follow-through and customer-value work around an operating business. Trade work, materials, credentialing, permitting and sealed engineering stay with qualified companies and the relevant authority having jurisdiction.
Is this a list of electricians or a directory?
No. It is a set of operating questions per trade. Source data also contained third-party company names and product records marked as requiring verification; none is published here as verified, recommended, partnered or available.
How were these trade definitions built?
From a reviewed internal industry pack of 107 trades, 45 packages and 27 families, assembled from source datasets containing 54,223 rows. Definitions are internal working material, adapted here for customer-facing context.
Does the scan cover the whole operation?
No. The free scan finds possible focus from the information available. A complete operational, legal or financial audit is a separate engagement.
Where does work get lost between the enquiry and the invoice?
Share your trade, your volume and one example. The scan request carries that context into a team review.
