Mac, You have gotten some great advice from previous responders. Don't underestimate the use of before and after photos with interim photos of any hidden problems discovered during the repair. Sometimes I even manage to get the owner/caller in the photo, too. The photos also have a side benefit of refreshing your memory when they call again a couple (or more) years later.

I got a call from a tenant for an off-grid system installed by the landlord (supposedly an electrician). I went up there to look at the site and it was a mess. System lacked OCPDs, there were gouges in the insulation of the wires, loose terminals, nothing ran in conduit, etc... I was called up there to see why the generator was not auto starting. I got the auto start working, expressed my concern to the tenant about the workmanship and left. Now I'm wondering whether I should have touched the system at all. What would you do? Is there liability here?
