Knob & Tube Wiring Replacement
If your Bay Area home was built before 1940, dangerous knob-and-tube wiring may be hidden behind your walls. It's a fire hazard, can void your insurance, and won't support modern electrical loads. We specialize in safe, full-home rewires.
A Simple, Transparent Process
From first call to final inspection, we make electrical projects straightforward and stress-free.
The Difference Is in the Details
After 20+ years and 500+ projects, we know what Bay Area clients expect, and we consistently deliver.
