Electrical rewiring in Santa Rosa, CA
Rewiring is the least glamorous and most consequential electrical work there is. In older Santa Rosa neighborhoods we still find knob and tube, cloth-insulated conductors and ungrounded two-prong outlets carrying loads nobody imagined in 1948. A rewire replaces the wiring itself rather than patching around it.

Whole House Rewiring across Santa Rosa
We cover every part of Santa Rosa — Bennett Valley, Fountaingrove, Railroad Square and Rincon Valley included — along with the neighboring communities of Sebastopol and Windsor.
Santa Rosa sits in Sonoma County, and the electrical work here reflects that mix: older housing stock that needs grounding, capacity and device upgrades, alongside newer construction that simply needs more circuits than it was built with. Crews route through the North Bay daily, so travel time to a call in Santa Rosa is short.

|---|---|
| Wall and ceiling material | Lath and plaster is slower and more fragile to open than drywall. |

Recent Santa Rosa 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.
Ellen and Ray M.Santa Rosa, CARecessed lighting in the living room and hallway. They marked the layout on the floor first and asked before cutting. No flicker on the dimmers.

Bethany W.Santa Rosa, CAWhole House Rewiring in Santa Rosa — questions we get asked
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Santa Rosa?
Whole-home rewires in Santa Rosa 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.
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.
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.
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 Sonoma County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.
