Replace outdated, ungrounded, or unsafe wiring with modern, code-compliant systems. Knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum-to-copper conversions, and full reconductoring for older homes — done room by room to keep your house livable.
A whole-home rewire is one of the bigger electrical projects a homeowner can do, but it's the one that changes the risk profile of the entire house. Old knob-and-tube, cloth-jacketed, or aluminum branch wiring was fine for the load your home was built to carry — refrigerator, radio, a few lamps. Modern life (AC, microwaves, EV chargers, home offices) asks a lot more of circuits, and the wire that's behind your walls is doing work it wasn't designed for.
I approach rewires the way I'd want mine done: room by room, minimum disruption, clean access holes, patched when I can. Essential circuits stay live throughout the project so your fridge, AC, and Wi-Fi don't go dark for a week. Every run is to current NEC, every circuit is labeled at the panel, and you get a fresh panel layout photo at closeout so you (or whoever buys the house in 20 years) knows what's what.
If you're in the middle of a major remodel already, a rewire pairs well with drywall work — but I also do rewires as a standalone project, working with existing pathways to minimize wall openings.
Older homes often have wiring that can't handle modern electrical loads. These are the usual tells.
Lights that dim or flicker when appliances kick on usually signal overloaded circuits or deteriorating conductors. Not normal — not a 'wait it out' situation.
Outlets that feel warm, show discoloration, spark when you plug something in, or hum need immediate attention. These are fire warning signs.
Older ungrounded outlets can't safely power modern electronics, computers, or any device with a three-prong plug. They also lack critical surge protection.
I walk your house, check the panel, test existing circuits, and identify what has to come out. We talk about scope, phasing, and anything we can leave that's still safe. No cost for the visit.
You get a detailed quote — circuits counted, scope called out, staging plan included. No 'we'll see when we get there' pricing. If something changes, I stop and quote it first.
I work room by room, keeping essential circuits live so the house stays functional. All runs are to current NEC, all permits pulled and inspected where required, and I patch access openings where I can.
This isn't a 'fit it in between jobs' kind of project. It's a multi-day investment in your home's safety, value, and daily function.

Most homes take 5–10 days of on-site work depending on size, age, and complexity. You'll get a projected timeline before starting, and if we hit something unexpected, I'll tell you the same day.
No. I work room by room and keep essential circuits (fridge, AC, main living areas) active so your home stays livable. Expect brief, scheduled power-downs as individual circuits are transferred.
Some drywall access is unavoidable, but I minimize openings and patch access points wherever possible. Many runs can use existing pathways — fish tape, stud bays, and attic/crawlspace access reduce the number of new holes.
Yes. Rewires are permitted electrical work in every SC county I serve. I handle all permitting, schedule the required inspections, and hand you the signed inspection card at closeout.
Whole-home rewire pricing depends on home size, age, finish level, and whether the panel needs upgrading. I give a free on-site assessment and a written, itemized quote — no squishy ranges. Most rewires I do fall between $8,000 and $22,000.
If you're already opening walls for a remodel, doing the rewire at the same time is cheaper overall (no double patching). But a standalone rewire using existing pathways is absolutely workable — I've done plenty.
