Bakersfield follows California Electrical Code 2022. That means new living-area outlets must be AFCI-protected, garage and exterior outlets need GFCI, and every receptacle installed under 5.5 ft must be tamper-resistant. CountBricks’ blueprint takeoff engine flags these requirements automatically, so you never risk a failed inspection.

A 1992 two-story home in Bakersfield’s Seven Oaks community suffered from loose two-prong outlets and tripped breakers. The owners wanted modern tamper-resistant, AFCI-protected receptacles before listing the property.
1. The homeowner used a smartphone voice note: “Replace all outlets, add USB in master bedroom.”
2. Our AI scanned the 2,600 sq ft blueprint, counted 48 existing receptacles, and suggested 6 USB combos.
3. Within 90 seconds, the platform generated a $3,980 line-item proposal, including permits, patching, and disposal.
4. After approval, a two-technician crew completed the job in 1.5 days, passing city inspection on the first visit.
5. The seller attached the CountBricks warranty PDF to their listing, boosting buyer confidence and helping close above asking.
