Common Remodel Electrical Issues We Solve

Undersized Panels and Old Wiring

Problem: Your home’s electrical wiring is old and doesn’t meet the needs of your remodel, leading to potential safety hazards or insufficient power for modern appliances.
Solution: We upgrade your wiring to meet current standards, ensuring your new space is safe, reliable, and equipped to handle today’s electrical demands.

Not Enough Outlets or Wrong Types

Problem: After remodeling your kitchen or living room, you realize there aren’t enough electrical outlets to accommodate new appliances and devices.
Solution: Our Remodel Electricians install additional outlets and power sources, keeping your space functional and eliminating the inconvenience of extension cords.

Lighting That Doesn’t Match the New Layout

Problem: Your remodeled spaces, like basements or home offices, are poorly lit, making them feel dark and uninviting.
Solution: We design and install customized lighting solutions that brighten and enhance the atmosphere of every room, providing the right light for your needs.

Our Home Remodel Process

1. Walk-Through

We meet on site with you (and your GC or designer) to scope the electrical work, review panel capacity, and understand the timeline.

2. Quote and Plan

We write up the full electrical scope, quote it up front, and flag any panel, permit, or service-size work that’s needed before rough-in.

3. Permits and Rough-In

We pull permits, coordinate with your GC, and run new circuits, boxes, and wiring during the open-wall phase.

4. Inspection

We meet the city inspector for rough-in sign-off so drywall and tile can move forward without delay.

5. Trim and Walkthrough

After finishes are in we install outlets, switches, fixtures, panels, and smart devices, test everything, and walk the full scope with you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Remodel Electrical Work

Yes. Any remodel that adds, moves, or replaces circuits, outlets, or fixtures requires a licensed electrician in California. GFCI protection in kitchens and baths, new 240V circuits for ranges or EV chargers, and recessed lighting all need to be pulled, wired, and inspected by a licensed contractor.

Most remodels that add or modify circuits require an electrical permit. We pull permits through the City of San Jose, City of Chico, and Butte County on your behalf and meet the inspector for rough-in and final sign-off.

Scope varies widely. A basic bathroom refresh with a few new circuits and GFCI outlets is different from a full kitchen gut renovation or an ADU. We quote each remodel up front after an on-site walk-through. See our panel upgrade cost guide and recessed lighting cost guide for ballpark numbers on common scope items.

Often, yes. Older homes with 100A service frequently can’t support a modern kitchen, EV charger, heat pump, or ADU load. We evaluate your panel capacity during the walk-through and quote the panel upgrade separately if it’s needed so you can plan the budget.

Yes. We coordinate directly with GCs, designers, and other trades. Most of our remodel work is done on multi-trade job sites where electrical rough-in has to slot in between framing, plumbing, HVAC, and drywall.

Yes. We handle full electrical scope for accessory dwelling units: sub-panel, feeder from the main service, all branch circuits, lighting, and final trim. We can also run the meter and utility-coordination work if the ADU needs its own service.

Yes, and that’s often the best time to do it. If your home has knob-and-tube, aluminum, or failing cloth wiring, a remodel is the right window to pull whole house rewiring while walls are open.

A bathroom refresh might be 2 to 3 days of electrical time. A full kitchen remodel is typically 4 to 7 days split between rough-in and trim. ADUs and whole-house remodels run 2 to 6 weeks of electrical scope total.
