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.
Common Remodeling Electrical Mistakes We Prevent
Many remodeling projects run into problems when electrical planning comes too late. We help you avoid:
- Not enough circuits for kitchen appliances
- Poor lighting placement that creates shadows and dark spots
- Awkward switch locations you'll regret daily
- Inadequate power for future needs
- Code violations that can complicate home sales
Planning your electrical layout early in the remodeling process saves money and prevents frustrating issues later.

KitchensKitchen Electrical Remodeling
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.
BathroomsBathroom 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
- GFCI protection that meets current Wisconsin codes
Bathroom remodels often reveal outdated or unsafe wiring.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.
Basements & officesBasement & Home Office Solutions
As more people work from home in the Milwaukee area, we've specialized in creating functional electrical systems for:
- Dedicated circuits for computers and equipment
- Proper lighting for video calls
- Strategic outlet placement
- Media room and entertainment wiring
- Workshop spaces with adequate power
Basements present unique challenges with moisture concerns and limited access. Our methods minimize wall and ceiling damage while bringing these spaces up to code.

EXCELLENT Based on 519 reviews Posted on Google Cubby’s Reviews Had my breaker replaced same day as request for service. they were in and out quickly, and the amount due was very fair. I am going to set up a future appointment to have the complete electrical box replaced. Jordan communicated effectively and efficiently. Update 10/15/2026: Travis from LEHMANN electrical and design completed installing 4 gfci outlets and installed a CSST bonding for my gas line. He communicated throughout the process and did outstanding work. Do yourself a favor and contact LEHMANN if you need any electrical work completed they’re honest, their pricing is fair,and they always give you an estimate before they start work.Posted on Google Linda Sumwalt 16 year old solar panel removal from a barn roof.Posted on Google Verneesha Banks The guys from Lehman were great! They were very knowledgeable and informative. Answered my questions and went Above and Beyond to get things done.!Posted on Google Sally Shoemaker Great workers!Posted on Google Alicia Allison Travis did a great job, was VERY knowledgeable and kind, answered all my questions and more. Will be using LED again. Really like that they don't charge for estimates. Fair pricingPosted on Google Chris Cullen Fantastic service and communication. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Ed Chaltry We worked with Travis. From the moment he came out to give the estimate, he was very professional and able to answer our questions and provide the detail we needed to move forward. The installation itself was quick and of high-quality. I highly recommend Lehmann. Thank you!Posted on Google Renee Schultz Andy and Joe were so kind and professional. Andy offered fair pricing, and tried to repair my electrical issue using the most cost-effective solution. Would highly recommend Lehmann Electrical and Design!Posted on Google Sandy S I’d like to highly recommend Lehmann Electrical and Design. Recently my kitchen lost all power due to an overheating outlet. After calling several companies who were scheduling a week out for appointments, I called Lehmann and they came out the next day. Not only were their technicians, Alex and Travis, a pleasure to work with, they didn’t come in with a standard, by the book, approach. They thoughtfully considered and explained the options for fixing the problem, with safety being the number one priority. Lehmann will be my only choice for any future electrical needs.Posted on Google Krista Had a panel upgrade, fan installation, and some outlets relocated and added. I couldn’t be happier with Cavin and Team at Lehmann Electric! They were courteous, flexible, and knowledgeable; willing to answer any and all questions. Everything looks and works great!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Waukesha & Milwaukee Electrical Remodeling FAQs
Cost, contractors, older panels, timelines, permits and fixtures.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
