Whole-House Rewiring in Lawrenceville, GA

Whole-house rewiring replaces all of a home’s branch-circuit wiring — typically outdated knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated, or aluminum conductors — with modern copper wiring that meets current electrical code. Nobody wants to hear their house needs a full rewire, but if you're living with knob-and-tube, brittle cloth wiring, or aluminum branch circuits, it's usually the safest long-term move — and often less disruptive than people expect. We stage the work room by room, keep the essentials running while we go, and coordinate the drywall patching so you're not left guessing what happens next.

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.

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

What to expect during a rewire

A whole-house rewire is a multi-day job — typically three to five days for a standard Lawrenceville ranch or split-level, longer for a two-storey or a home with finished walls on every floor. We run new copper circuits through the attic, crawlspace and interior walls, install a new panel if the old one can't handle the upgraded wiring, and bring every outlet, switch and fixture connection to current code.

We plan access points to minimise drywall cuts, and we patch and prime what we open. You'll have power during most of the work — we wire new circuits alongside the old ones and switch over at the end, so you're only without electricity for the final cutover.

How to tell if your home needs rewiring

If your Lawrenceville home was built before 1975, it likely has wiring that doesn't meet current code. Knob-and-tube wiring (common in pre-1950 homes), cloth-insulated wiring (1950s–1970s), and aluminum branch wiring (late 1960s–mid 1970s) all present specific risks. Knob-and-tube becomes brittle and can't be buried in insulation. Cloth insulation cracks and exposes conductors. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, loosening connections over time.

Insurance companies increasingly require replacement of these wiring types, and a home sale can stall if the inspection turns one up. We'll tell you what you have, what the real risk is, and whether a full rewire or a targeted remediation makes more sense for your situation.
