Organize your inspection finding, room list and quote questions before planning knob-and-tube work. Use the preparation checklist to make the scope easier to compare.

Chicago Knob and Tube offers residential knob-and-tube replacement across Chicagoland. This knob-and-tube quote comparison checklist helps you organize existing information before an assessment and compare the written scopes that follow. It does not ask you to inspect exposed wiring or open electrical equipment.

## Before the assessment

- Keep the inspection report and available electrical permits together.
- List rooms mentioned in the report and any areas you cannot access normally.
- Record planned renovations and finishes that need protection.
- For a shared building, identify who can authorize common-area access.
- Ask the insurer what document it actually requires, if insurance prompted the inquiry.

## Compare the written scopes

- Which circuits and rooms are included?
- What old wiring will remain, and what does that mean?
- Who handles openings, patching and decoration?
- Are permit, inspection and panel work included or separate?
- How are concealed conditions and changes authorized?
- What records will identify the completed scope?
