Whole house rewiring in Berkeley, CA

Whole House Rewiring across Berkeley

We cover every part of Berkeley — Elmwood, downtown Berkeley, North Berkeley and Claremont included — along with the neighboring communities of Albany and Emeryville.

Berkeley sits in Alameda County, and the electrical work here reflects that mix: older housing stock that needs grounding, capacity and device upgrades, alongside newer construction that simply needs more circuits than it was built with. Crews route through the East Bay daily, so travel time to a call in Berkeley is short.

Recent Berkeley feedback

We rewired in stages so we could keep living here. They planned the access holes where the patcher could actually fix them, which I did not expect.

Ellen and Ray M.Berkeley, CA

Smart switches finally work because they pulled neutrals into the boxes. Two other installers had told me it was not possible.

Jae P.Berkeley, CA

Recessed lighting in the living room and hallway. They marked the layout on the floor first and asked before cutting. No flicker on the dimmers.

Whole House Rewiring in Berkeley — questions we get asked

Will you patch the drywall?

We cut planned, patch-ready access and coordinate closely with your patcher or painter. Ask and we will quote the rewire with patching included.

Is aluminum wiring dangerous?

Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s is not inherently unusable, but its connections loosen and overheat over time. Remediation with listed connectors or replacement resolves it.

Do I have to move out during a rewire?

Usually not. We work in phases and keep power on to the areas you are using. Larger Alameda County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.

How do I know if I have knob and tube wiring?

Look in the attic or basement for individual wires running through white ceramic knobs and tubes. Two-prong outlets throughout and a fuse box are strong supporting signs.

How much does it cost to rewire a house in Berkeley?

Whole-home rewires in Berkeley are priced by square footage, circuit count and access — a single-story home with an accessible attic and crawlspace costs far less than a two-story plaster home. We walk it, then give one firm number.
