Recent La Mesa 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.La Mesa, CACalled at 9:40 on a Sunday night with an outlet that had started smoking. Someone picked up, someone came, and it was made safe before midnight.
Dan K.La Mesa, CAOur restaurant cannot close, so they did the panel work overnight. Walked in the next morning to everything working and the floor cleaner than we left it.
Nadia F.La Mesa, CAWhole House Rewiring in La Mesa — questions we get asked
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.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in La Mesa?
Whole-home rewires in La Mesa 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.
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.
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.
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 San Diego County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.
