Whole House Rewiring across Piedmont
We cover all of Piedmont, from downtown out to the newer subdivisions on the edge of town, plus the neighboring communities of Emeryville, Berkeley and Oakland.
Piedmont 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 Piedmont is short.

Recent Piedmont 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.Piedmont, CATesla Wall Connector installed, conduit run neatly along the garage wall, permit handled. Charges overnight now instead of trickling all week.
Anthony V.Piedmont, CAGenerator sized properly, transfer switch installed, and they tested it under load. Ran the whole house through the last shutoff without us touching anything.
Greg H.Piedmont, CAWhole House Rewiring in Piedmont — 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.
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.
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 much does it cost to rewire a house in Piedmont?
Whole-home rewires in Piedmont 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.
