FAQs
Why might I need a whole-home rewire instead of small repairs?
If your Jamestown residence was wired more than 40 years ago, still relies on knob-and-tube or aluminum branch circuits, or shows chronic issues such as frequently tripped breakers, warm outlets, flickering lights, or a lack of grounding, a complete rewire is usually safer and more cost-effective than piecemeal fixes. A full rewire replaces every outdated conductor, device, and panel, eliminating hidden fire hazards, providing enough capacity for today’s electronics, and adding the grounding and AFCI/GFCI protection required by current New York Electrical Code.
How long does a typical whole-house rewire take in Jamestown homes?
For an average 1,800–2,200 sq ft Jamestown house, we schedule 7–10 working days on site. Older plaster-and-lath walls, finished basements, or occupied attics can add time, while homes with open framing or recent renovations can shorten the schedule. We finalize a timeline after the initial walkthrough, and you receive daily progress updates so you always know which rooms will be worked on next.
Will rewiring damage my walls and finishes? How is cleanup handled?
Our precision craftsmanship approach uses strategic fish tapes, flexible bits, and minimally-invasive cut-outs to snake new cable behind walls and ceilings. When we must open drywall or plaster, we keep holes small, mark stud locations for our patch crew, and cover floors and furniture with clean drop cloths. After rough-in inspection, our in-house finishing team patches, textures, and primes each access point so it is paint-ready. You’re left with no dangling wires, open boxes, or dusty debris.
What safety and code standards do you follow for rewires in Jamestown?
We design every rewire to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) as adopted by New York State, plus any Jamestown municipal amendments. That includes dedicated appliance circuits, tamper-resistant receptacles, AFCI protection in living areas, GFCI protection in wet zones, and copper conductors sized for modern loads. All work is permitted and inspected by the city. Our electricians are OSHA-trained, licensed, and fully insured to protect your property and family.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost and what factors influence the price?
In Jamestown, full rewires typically range from $8 to $14 per square foot. Pricing depends on square footage, the number of circuits and devices, accessibility (finished vs. open walls), panel upgrade requirements, and any service entrance changes. We provide a detailed, line-item estimate after a free on-site evaluation, and we honor that price—no surprise change orders unless you add scope.
Can I stay in my house during the rewire and will my power be out the entire time?
Most homeowners remain in place. We rewire one section at a time, leaving temporary power to critical areas such as the refrigerator, internet modem, and one bathroom circuit. Full outages are limited to a few hours during panel changeover. We coordinate with you daily so you always know which rooms will be unavailable and when short outages will occur. If you prefer to vacate, we can compress the schedule and work extended hours to shorten total project time.
