Recent Los Altos Hills feedback
We rewired in stages so we could keep living here. They planned the access holes where the patcher could actually fix them, which I did not expect.

Bethany W.Los Altos Hills, CAWhole House Rewiring in Los Altos Hills — questions we get asked
Will you patch the drywall?
We cut planned, patch-ready access and coordinate closely with your patcher or painter. Ask and we will quote the rewire with patching included.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Los Altos Hills?
Whole-home rewires in Los Altos Hills are priced by square footage, circuit count and access — a single-story home with an accessible attic and crawlspace costs far less than a two-story plaster home. We walk it, then give one firm number.
How do I know if I have knob and tube wiring?
Look in the attic or basement for individual wires running through white ceramic knobs and tubes. Two-prong outlets throughout and a fuse box are strong supporting signs.
Do I have to move out during a rewire?
Usually not. We work in phases and keep power on to the areas you are using. Larger Santa Clara County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s is not inherently unusable, but its connections loosen and overheat over time. Remediation with listed connectors or replacement resolves it.
