Panels, circuits, lighting and rough-in for remodeled space, permitted and inspected rather than quietly done.
Electrical is the trade where cutting corners is least visible and most dangerous. It is also the trade where Houston’s older housing stock creates the most surprises, because a large share of the homes across the north and west sides were wired to standards that have since changed several times over.
We handle electrical as part of our own crew rather than subcontracting it out, which means it stays on the same schedule as everything else.
Replacing panels that are undersized, obsolete or from a manufacturer with a documented failure record. Certain older panel brands are routinely flagged by inspectors and insurance carriers, and homeowners often first hear about it during a sale, at the worst possible moment for negotiating.
A remodel that adds a kitchen circuit, a bathroom circuit and new lighting can also push an old service past what it was designed to carry, which makes the panel the first question rather than the last.
Rough-in for new and reconfigured space, coordinated with framing and inspected before drywall closes the walls. This is the point in a project where adding capacity is cheap. After the walls are finished, every new outlet costs cutting, patching, texturing and painting.
Recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, fixtures and switching layouts. Replacing the fluorescent box light that came with a 1970s kitchen is one of the highest-impact changes in a remodel, and it is a lighting design question rather than a fixture-shopping question.
Full or partial rewiring where the existing system has aged out. In homes built roughly between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s, aluminum branch circuit wiring is common across this region, and it needs approved remediation rather than being ignored.
Breakers that trip repeatedly, outlets that have stopped working, flickering circuits. These are symptoms rather than problems, and finding the actual cause is the work.
Permitted electrical work is inspected by the city or the county, and that inspection protects you specifically.
We pull permits in the company name rather than asking you to file an owner permit, which is a common way for uninspected work to end up recorded under a homeowner’s name. The inspection record follows the property, and it is exactly the kind of thing that surfaces during a sale or during an insurance claim.
The uncomfortable version of this: if unpermitted electrical work contributes to a fire, the conversation with your insurer becomes considerably more difficult. It is a low-probability event with an unacceptable downside, and it is entirely avoidable.
Electrical rough-in comes before drywall and runs alongside plumbing on most remodels. Because both are in house, the inspection gets scheduled once and the wall closes on time. See the process page, or kitchen and bathroom remodeling and additions for the scopes where this work usually lives.

Every detail matters. From the foundation to the finish, quality is never an accident.
New circuits, panel replacement, service changes and most remodel wiring require a permit and an inspection. Ask anyone you hire how the permit will be pulled and who meets the inspector. We pull the permit in the company name and meet the inspector, so the record follows the property and shows up correctly when you sell.
Some older panel brands, including Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco, have documented failure histories and are commonly flagged by home inspectors and insurers. If your panel carries one of those names, replacement is worth pricing whether or not you are remodeling. Panel age also matters because a remodel adding circuits may exceed what the existing service can carry.
Aluminum branch circuit wiring was used in many homes built roughly between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s, which covers a large share of north and west Harris County housing. It expands and contracts differently than copper, which can loosen connections at devices over time. Approved remediation methods exist, and any competent inspection will identify whether your house has it.
Yes, and a remodel is by far the cheapest time to do it, because the walls are already open. Adding circuits later means cutting and repairing finished drywall and paint. Kitchens and baths in particular have specific requirements for circuit count and GFCI protection that older homes rarely meet, and remodeling brings that work into scope anyway.
Yes, including panel replacement, circuit additions, lighting installation and troubleshooting, scheduled around larger builds. What we do not do is chase a fault, guess, and hand you a bill. If the diagnosis points somewhere outside what we should be handling, we will tell you rather than experiment on your house.
Paint is 20 percent product and 80 percent preparation. On the Gulf Coast that ratio is not an exaggeration.
Hang, finish, texture and repair, including the seasonal cracks that Houston's clay soil leaves above every other doorway.
Over a Houston slab, the floor is decided before the first plank or tile goes down. Moisture testing and substrate prep are the job.
If your panel is original to a 1970s house, or your breakers keep tripping, that is worth a professional set of eyes before it becomes urgent.
