Whole house rewiring in Dallas

Houses wired before the 1950s were built for a few lights and a radio. Their wiring often has no ground, brittle cloth or rubber insulation, and splices that have been added to for decades. A full rewire resets the house to a safe, modern baseline.

We plan the circuits room by room, add the kitchen, bath and laundry circuits current code expects, install arc-fault and ground-fault protection, and usually pair the rewire with a new panel.

Whole House Rewiring: signs to watch for

• Knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wiring throughout
• Two-prong outlets in most rooms
• Frequent flicker, tripping or warm outlets across the house
• An insurer will not cover the home as wired
• A major remodel opens most of the walls anyway

How we handle it

1. Room-by-room circuit plan and a written price
2. Permit, then rough-in through attics, crawl spaces and small openings
3. New devices, AFCI and GFCI protection, and often a new panel
4. Inspection and drywall patches ready for paint

Living through a rewire

We work in sections and restore power at the end of each day. Furniture near outside walls may need moving. Expect small openings at switch and outlet heights and along ceilings, which we patch ready for paint. Most families stay home through the whole job. We give you a day-by-day plan before we start so you know which rooms are affected when.

What moves the price

• House size and stories
• Plaster versus drywall
• Whether a new panel is included

Whole House Rewiring in Dallas homes

The historic districts of East Dallas and Oak Cliff, like Junius Heights, Munger Place, Winnetka Heights and Kings Highway, hold a lot of 1910s and 1920s houses with plaster walls. We use careful routing to save original trim and plaster, and we know the districts where exterior changes need landmark review.
