Our Services
Home Remodel Electrical and Home Addition Wiring Services
A remodel or home addition puts new demands on an electrical system that was likely never designed for them. We plan circuits, panel capacity, and fixture placement around your finished layout, not just the framing that's in front of us today.
Our home addition wiring and remodel electrical work typically includes:
- New circuits and outlet layouts for room additions, bonus rooms, and finished basements
- Kitchen remodel electrical, including dedicated appliance circuits and under-cabinet lighting
- Bathroom remodel electrical, including GFCI protection, exhaust fan wiring, and vanity lighting
- Old wiring replacement and outdated wiring upgrades tied into the new space
- Aluminum wiring remediation and knob and tube wiring remediation where older sections connect to the addition
- Dedicated circuit installation for new appliances, HVAC equipment, and home offices
When Your Project Needs Residential Electrical Wiring Upgrades
Homes across Vancouver, Camas, and the Portland metro span decades of construction styles, and older housing stock often hides electrical surprises once walls come down. If your project touches an addition, kitchen, or bathroom, a wiring assessment early in planning saves rework later.
Watch for these situations during a remodel or addition:
- The existing panel is already full or undersized before the new square footage is even accounted for
- Older sections of the home still run on knob and tube or aluminum wiring
- You're adding a hot tub, spa, or pool that needs its own dedicated circuit and bonding
- New HVAC equipment, an EV charger, or a home office is planned alongside the remodel
- Inspectors in Clark County or Multnomah County have flagged wiring during a permit review
Pacific Northwest homes built before the 1970s in neighborhoods like Fruit Valley, Hough, or the older parts of Camas frequently combine several of these issues at once. Bringing us in during the design phase, rather than after drywall is hung, keeps the project on schedule and avoids costly rework.
Our Process
How Our Remodeling Electrician Plans and Wires Your Project
Every remodel or addition project follows the same structured process, so you know what to expect before we ever pull a permit.
-
Step 1: Walkthrough and load assessment
We review your remodel or addition plans, inspect the existing panel and wiring, and calculate whether current capacity supports the new space.
-
Step 2: New circuit installation plan and permitting
We design the circuit layout for outlets, lighting, and equipment, then handle the permit paperwork required by your city or county.
-
Step 3: Rough-in and remediation
We run new wiring to the framed space and address any old wiring replacement or remediation needs, including aluminum or knob and tube sections tied into the addition.
-
Step 4: Inspection, trim, and final testing
Once drywall is up, we install devices, fixtures, and panels, then test every circuit and schedule the final inspection for sign-off.
