Whole House Rewiring in Rome, GA

The honest answer is that it depends on square footage, how many stories, whether there is attic and crawlspace access, plaster versus drywall, and how many devices you want at the end. We walk the house, count the circuits and devices, and give you a written flat price with the scope spelled out. Call (866) 651-5242 to book that walkthrough.

It is the earliest residential wiring method, with separate hot and neutral conductors run through ceramic insulators.

Aluminum branch circuit wiring from the late sixties and seventies is not inherently unsafe, but its connections loosen as the metal expands and contracts, and loose connections overheat. The accepted remedy is to pigtail every device with approved connectors, or to rewire. We do both and document what was done.

We keep access holes as small and as few as possible and can either leave them for your painter or handle patch and texture as part of the scope. Tell us which you prefer when we quote.
