Service call fees, how existing wiring problems are handled, permits and inspection corrections, utility coordination, patching, payment and warranty.

Who pays for code corrections the inspector asks for?

If the correction is part of your scope, you do. If it is existing work outside your scope, your terms can say it is priced to the customer before it is done.

Should electricians patch drywall?

Many do a rough patch only. Say so in the terms, so customers know whether to plan for a painter.
