Electrical rough‑in and finish work for kitchens, baths, basements and additions.
Wiring Built for Your Renovation
Renovations are the best time to fix old wiring issues and add the circuits you actually need. We plan outlet locations, appliance circuits, lighting and switches early, then complete rough‑in before drywall and return for trim‑out so everything is clean and code‑compliant.
How We Work With Your Contractor
We coordinate with your general contractor and other trades so electrical work happens at the right stage—without delays or rework. From layout questions to inspection scheduling, we keep communication simple so your renovation stays on track.
Common Renovation Wiring
- Kitchen: appliance circuits, GFCI outlets, under-cabinet lighting, potlights
- Bathroom: GFCI outlets, fan/light, heated floors
- Basement: lighting, outlets, dedicated circuits for suites
- Additions: service to new space, panel assessment
- Dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances
Timing Matters
The easiest way to get great results is to involve an electrician during planning. A quick walkthrough before framing and drywall helps confirm fixture locations, switch placement, and any upgrades (like adding a new circuit or panel capacity) before surprises become expensive change orders.
When should I bring in an electrician for a renovation?
As early as possible—ideally once your layout is roughly decided but before walls are closed. That’s when we can recommend circuiting, lighting placement and any required upgrades without rework.
Do I need permits for renovation wiring?
Most new or altered wiring requires a Technical Safety BC permit and inspection. We handle the permit process and schedule inspections so the electrical work is fully compliant.
What electrical work is typical in a kitchen renovation?
Most kitchens need dedicated circuits for appliances, properly placed countertop receptacles (with GFCI protection where required), and updated lighting (potlights, pendants, under‑cabinet). If you’re adding major loads, we’ll also check panel capacity.
