Whole House Rewiring across San Rafael
We cover all of San Rafael, from downtown out to the newer subdivisions on the edge of town, plus the neighboring communities of Ross, Larkspur and Corte Madera.
San Rafael sits in Marin 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.

Recent San Rafael 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.

Lorraine T.San Rafael, CABreaker had been tripping for months. They found an overloaded shared circuit and put the microwave on its own. Has not tripped since.
Omar D.San Rafael, CAWhole House Rewiring in San Rafael — questions we get asked
How much does it cost to rewire a house in San Rafael?
Whole-home rewires in San Rafael 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.
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 Marin County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.
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 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.
