Plenty of Tuscaloosa homes are still running on wiring installed when a household drew a fraction of today's load. Two-wire ungrounded circuits, brittle cloth insulation and knob and tube runs in the attic all worked once. They do not work with a modern kitchen. We replace them with grounded copper, circuit by circuit.

“Called about a bathroom outlet that stopped working and expected a sales pitch for a new panel. They reset a GFCI in the garage and charged me for a diagnostic. That is why I called them back for the bigger job.”
Paul Y., Tuscaloosa“Rewired a 1940s house one floor at a time so we could stay in it. Minimal holes, everything patched, and they explained what they found in the attic instead of just handing me a bill.”
Kevin A., Tuscaloosa“Office fit-out for a new suite. Twenty workstations, all the data runs, and the lighting. Finished a day ahead and the inspector had zero notes.”
Michelle K., TuscaloosaA 1,500 to 2,000 square foot Tuscaloosa home typically runs $8,000 to $18,000 including a new panel. Accessibility drives the number more than square footage — a home with an open attic and crawlspace costs far less to rewire than a two-story slab house with plaster walls.
Almost never. We work in sections in Tuscaloosa and keep power on in the parts of the house we are not touching. Most families stay put, with one or two days of limited power in the active zone.
Two-prong ungrounded outlets, a fuse box, cloth-covered wire, warm switch plates, frequent breaker trips, or ceramic knobs visible in the attic all point to it. If you are not sure, we will look at it in Tuscaloosa at no charge and tell you honestly whether you need a full rewire or just a few circuits.
We fish through existing wall cavities and use attics, crawlspaces and closets wherever possible. Some access holes are unavoidable, and we keep them small, in inconspicuous places, and patch them so they disappear under paint.
