Electrical Wiring & Rewiring
Whole-home rewiring and targeted wiring repairs for older Sacramento homes. Replace dangerous knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring with safe, modern copper.
Overview
Older Sacramento homes often hide dangerous wiring behind the walls — knob-and-tube, degraded cloth-insulated wire, or aluminum wiring prone to fire. We rewire homes and add new circuits with modern, code-compliant copper wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does rewiring require opening all my walls?
No. We use specialized fishing tools to route wire through walls and attics with minimal cuts. Small drywall access points are patched afterward.
How long does a whole-home rewire take?
A typical single-family home rewire takes 3–7 days depending on size, accessibility, and the number of circuits.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
Older solid-conductor aluminum wiring is a known fire hazard at connections. We recommend replacement or remediation with proper connectors rated for aluminum.
