The kitchen demands more electrical planning than any other room. We help with:

Appliance circuit planning for dishwashers, refrigerators, and ranges
Island power solutions that don't disrupt your design
Under-cabinet lighting that makes prep work easier
Proper GFCI protection in water-prone areas
Lighting design that balances task, ambient, and accent lighting

We recently helped a Wauwatosa family modernize their 1970s kitchen without having to tear out walls, saving thousands in construction costs while delivering the functionality of a brand new space.

Bathroom Electrical Updates

Bathrooms have unique electrical requirements combining safety concerns with comfort features:

Proper ventilation fan installation
Water-safe lighting solutions for shower and tub areas
Heated floor wiring integration
Vanity lighting that flatters rather than casts shadows

Bathroom remodels often reveal outdated or unsafe wiring. We fix these issues while upgrading your space with modern conveniences like integrated nightlights and efficient heating.

Bringing Your Electrical Remodeling Vision to Life

We work side-by-side with local homeowners tackling projects both large and small. From refreshing a dated kitchen to gutting and rebuilding entire homes, our electrical team becomes part of your renovation journey. What sets us apart is simple: we take time to truly understand what you’re trying to create. Instead of just running wires, we think about how you’ll actually live in and use the space day to day.

Many homeowners don’t realize that bringing an electrician in during the planning stages can save thousands down the road. We often spot opportunities for improvements you might not have considered – like floor outlets under the perfect furniture placement or extra lighting zones that transform how a room feels. By considering both today’s needs and tomorrow’s possibilities, we help future-proof your investment with electrical systems that adapt as your life changes.

Waukesha & Milwaukee Electrical Remodeling FAQs

What might electrical work cost for my remodel?

Every project is different. We’ve done kitchen updates where electrical ran about $1,200 for basic needs up to $4,500 for homes needing complete rewiring and fancy lighting packages. Older Milwaukee homes often need more extensive work because of outdated systems. The best way to get an accurate number? Have us take a quick look at your specific project.

Do you play nice with contractors?

We’ve worked alongside most of the big remodeling companies in the Milwaukee area for years. My crew knows how to coordinate timing so electricians aren’t holding up drywall guys, and we’re available when the cabinets need power. Most GCs actually prefer working with us because we show up when promised and don’t leave messes for others to clean up.

My house is from the 1950s - will my panel handle a remodel?

Probably not without some updates. Those old 60-amp panels with screw-in fuses just can’t handle today’s kitchens with microwaves, dishwashers, and all the gadgets we rely on. Even if you’ve got a 100-amp breaker panel, adding major appliances usually means it’s time for an upgrade. We’ll check your setup and give it to you straight – sometimes you can get by with adding a sub-panel instead of a complete replacement.

How many days should I plan for the electrical portion?

It’s never a one-day job. For kitchens, we typically need 2-3 separate visits – first during the demo phase for rough-in work, then again after drywall, and finally for trim-out when everything’s almost finished. Bathrooms usually take 1-2 days total. If we’re rewiring an entire older home, it might be 4-8 days spread throughout your project timeline.

Who deals with permits and inspectors?

We handle all that paperwork headache. After seeing what happens when homeowners try to navigate the permitting maze in different municipalities, we just build this into our service. We’ve got good relationships with inspectors across Milwaukee and Waukesha counties and know what they look for. This saves major headaches when you eventually sell your home.

Can you work with light fixtures I bought online?

Absolutely. About half our customers bring their own fixtures, and we’re happy to install them. Just make sure you’ve got all the parts before we arrive – you wouldn’t believe how often online retailers ship fixtures missing key pieces. If you’d rather have recommendations, we can point you toward options that give you the look you want while actually providing enough light for the space.
