Whole-Home Rewiring
Whole-Home Rewiring
Pre-1960s Chicago homes often still carry original knob-and-tube or cloth-jacketed wiring — a fire risk, insurance headache, and dealbreaker for many buyers. A whole-home rewire replaces every branch circuit with modern copper Romex, upgrades your grounding, and brings the home fully up to code.
Our Approach
We plan the rewire around your life — working room by room, fishing new cable through walls and joist bays with minimal drywall damage, and using our patching crew to leave walls paint-ready. We pull all permits, coordinate inspections, and document everything with a final circuit directory.
“New Wiring, Old House, Zero Compromise.”
Common Problems We Solve
- Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring in a pre-1980 home
- Frequent electrical issues despite individual repairs
- Planning a major renovation that requires updated wiring
- Insurance carrier requiring a rewire before coverage renewal

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a whole-home rewire take?
A typical 3-bedroom Chicago home takes 5–10 business days including inspection. Larger or more complex homes may take 2–3 weeks.
Do we have to move out?
Usually no. We work room by room and keep at least one usable circuit live at all times. We can coordinate around your schedule.
Will you repair the drywall?
Yes — our patching crew repairs every opening to paint-ready condition as part of the price. Drywall finishing and paint are optional add-ons.
