Question 1

Do you work with general contractors on remodels?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we sub for GCs across the DMV routinely and know how to sequence rough-in, inspection, and trim.

Question 2

What code upgrades does a remodel trigger?

Accepted Answer

Depends on jurisdiction and scope. Kitchens typically require full AFCI/GFCI compliance in the remodeled area; bathrooms require GFCI and code-compliant fan circuits.

Question 3

How much does remodel electrical cost?

Accepted Answer

Kitchen remodels: $2,500–$8,000. Bathroom remodels: $1,200–$3,500. Additions: highly variable. We quote every project firm.

Question 4

Will my remodel require a panel upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. Adding new large loads (induction range, dishwasher, disposal, spa) often pushes older panels past capacity — we run a load calc during the estimate.

Question 5

Do you handle smoke and CO detector upgrades?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most jurisdictions require whole-house smoke and CO alarm upgrades to current code when a permit-scope remodel occurs.

Question 6

Can you match my remodel schedule?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We plan rough-in and trim dates against the GC's Gantt so we're never the trade holding up drywall or paint.

Question 7

Do you install under-cabinet lighting during kitchen remodels?

Accepted Answer

Yes — see our Under-Cabinet Lighting page. Kitchen remodels are the ideal time.

Question 8

Can you add a wall oven and separate cooktop?

Accepted Answer

Yes — each on its own dedicated 240V circuit sized to the appliance nameplate.

Question 9

Do you pull the permit or does my GC?

Accepted Answer

Either works. Most GCs prefer we pull the electrical permit under our license.

Question 10

Can you provide a scope-of-work for my GC to bid against?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we produce line-item electrical scopes that GCs and other subs can align around.
