New Circuits for Remodels and Additions
Finished basements, kitchen remodels, home offices, garages, and workshops all need circuits that were never planned for. We run new circuits sized to the actual load, land them on a panel with capacity, and coordinate with the rest of the project so the rough-in happens before the walls close.
Whole-Home and Partial Rewiring
Full rewires are less common than people expect and more disruptive than they hope. Most homes need partial rewiring: the circuits that have failed, been overloaded, or were extended badly. We scope it honestly, because “rewire the house” and “rewire the four circuits that are actually a problem” are very different numbers.
Knob-and-Tube and Aluminum Branch Wiring
Two older wiring types deserve specific attention. Knob-and-tube has no ground and does not tolerate modern loads or contact with insulation. Aluminum branch wiring, common in homes built in the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, expands and contracts at connections and can loosen over time.
Both are frequently flagged by inspectors and insurers. Neither always requires a full rewire, and there are accepted remediation methods for aluminum that are far cheaper.
Correcting Previous Work
Open splices outside a junction box, missing boxes entirely, ungrounded three-prong outlets, reversed polarity, undersized conductors, and circuits daisy-chained until nothing on them works reliably. This is the most common category of wiring work we do, and most of it originated as a well-intentioned weekend project.
Home Inspection and Closing Lists
If an inspection produced a list of electrical items, bring us the list. We will separate the genuine safety issues from the cosmetic notes, correct what needs correcting, and get it permitted and inspected so it is on record for the closing.
Dedicated Circuits
Some equipment needs its own circuit and causes problems without one: EV chargers, hot tubs, window units, workshop tools, ranges, and sump pumps. If a breaker trips every time one appliance runs, a dedicated circuit is usually the fix.
Serving the Denver Metro
Wiring and rewiring in Denver, Westminster, Arvada, Broomfield, Thornton, Golden, Evergreen, and the surrounding Front Range communities.
Whether it is one dedicated circuit or a list of inspection corrections on a deadline, we can scope it, price it, and get it permitted. Schedule online or call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my home need to be completely rewired?
Rarely. Most homes need partial rewiring of the circuits that have actually failed or been overloaded, not a full replacement. We scope what is genuinely a problem and tell you honestly where the line is, because the cost difference is substantial.
Is aluminum wiring a problem?
Aluminum branch wiring, common in homes built from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, expands and contracts at connections and can loosen over time. It is frequently flagged by inspectors and insurers. There are accepted remediation methods that are far less expensive than a full rewire.
Does rewiring require a permit?
Yes. New circuits, rewiring, and most work involving conductors inside walls require a permit and inspection in Denver-area jurisdictions. We handle both, which also matters at resale, since unpermitted electrical work is a common finding during a sale.
What is knob-and-tube wiring and is it dangerous?
Knob-and-tube has no equipment ground, does not tolerate modern loads, and should not be in contact with insulation. Many insurers ask about it directly. It does not always require immediate full replacement, but it should be evaluated rather than ignored.
Can you fix the electrical items on my home inspection report?
Bring us the list. We will separate genuine safety issues from cosmetic notes, prioritize anything that could hold up a closing, and handle the permit and inspection so the corrections are on record.
