Jody,
Those "electricians" also probably think that whatever else they do is also okay as long as the house does not burn down.
Nope - NOT okay.
You have pointed out one of the reasons I keep saying not to call for "evaluation", you may get someone like that in and their "evaluation" will say you are nutso and it is A-Okay.
Call for repairs, and list what you can, then add "and any other items found or created during those repairs".
