Whole-Home Rewires

Living in a Classic Home, Powered for Today

Older homes in our area have plenty of character, but while the architecture endures, the wiring inside often falls short of modern safety standards.

If your home was built before the 1980s, its electrical system wasn’t designed for modern life. Running today’s electronics on decades-old wiring isn’t just inconvenient, but can be a genuine safety risk.

We specialize in Tacoma whole house rewiring projects that upgrade your safety without sacrificing your home’s character. We replace outdated wiring with modern, grounded connections, ensuring your home is powerful, safe, and ready for the future.

Signs It Might Be Time to Rewire

It’s easy to ignore electrical issues until they become impossible to miss. However, your home usually gives you subtle hints before a major failure happens.

Flickering Lights

If your lights dim when the fridge kicks on, or the vacuum starts running, your system is struggling to handle the load.

Discolored Outlets

Scorch marks or yellowing around your outlet covers are warning signs of heat buildup inside the walls.

Two-Prong Outlets

If you can’t plug in a three-prong cord, your system is likely ungrounded, which puts your electronics (and your family) at risk.

Cloth-Covered Wiring

If you look in your attic or basement and see wires wrapped in cloth instead of plastic, you have insulation that has likely become brittle and dangerous over time.

FAQs

Common Questions About Rewiring

It depends on the size of your home, but typically, a project takes one to two weeks. We prioritize safety and precision, so we provide a clear, realistic timeline during your initial estimate to ensure you know exactly what to expect.
