Whole-House Rewiring in Lawrenceville, GA

Whole-house rewiring means removing or abandoning the original branch wiring and installing a complete new system: new home runs, boxes, devices, grounding, and almost always a new panel and often a service upgrade. It's a significant project, and for the right house it's the difference between an ongoing hazard and a home that's safe for the next 50 years.

When a home needs a full rewire

• Knob-and-tube wiring — ungrounded, unsafe under insulation, and often uninsurable
• Deteriorated cloth-insulated wiring where the insulation crumbles when touched
• Widespread aluminum branch wiring where remediation isn't practical
• A home being taken to the studs for a major renovation
• Repeated electrical failures, burned connections in multiple locations
• No ground anywhere, two-prong outlets throughout, and far too few circuits
• Previous DIY or handyman wiring that's unsafe throughout

Partial rewire may be enough

Many older Lawrenceville homes don't need a full rewire — just the kitchen, baths and a few problem circuits, plus grounding and GFCI upgrades. We assess honestly and quote both options where a partial rewire is viable, so you're not paying for more than the house needs.

The process and timeline

1. Assessment & plan — document existing circuits, plan the new layout, pull the permit
2. Rough-in — run new wiring through attics, basements, crawlspaces and wall cavities to every device location
3. Panel & service — install the new panel, grounding and service equipment; utility cutover
4. Trim-out — new outlets, switches, fixtures, plates, labeled directory
5. Inspection — rough and final inspections by Gwinnett County

A typical 3-bed single-story home takes about 5–10 working days; two-story and larger homes take longer. Most homeowners stay in the house, with power restored each evening.

Keeping drywall damage down

We fish the majority of runs through accessible framing. Where access holes are needed — at boxes, top and bottom plates, and around obstructions — we keep them small, consistent and easy to patch, and we give you the map so drywall repair is straightforward.

What drives the cost

• Square footage, number of circuits, devices and fixtures
• One or two stories; slab, crawlspace or basement; attic access
• Plaster-and-lath vs. drywall
• Panel replacement and whether the service is upgraded to 200 amp
• Added circuits (EV, HVAC, kitchen, laundry) and code-required AFCI/GFCI
• Permit, inspection and drywall-patch coordination
