Knob-and-tube, ungrounded, and aluminum wiring
Old-Home Rewiring
Older houses often need more than a new device in an old box. We replace knob-and-tube, ungrounded, and aluminum wiring, plan the new circuits around how you live in the house now, and restore the plaster or drywall and paint after we open the walls.

Rewiring built around older homes
Many houses in Oak Park, River Forest, Evanston, and nearby villages still have wiring that predates modern kitchens, home offices, and EV chargers. We assess what is in the walls, quote a clear scope — a partial or a more complete rewire — and include the finish work so you are not left with open plaster.
- Knob-and-tube replacement
- Ungrounded wiring brought up to grounded, protected circuits
- Aluminum wiring remediation
- Panel and service upgrades as part of the same plan
- Plaster and drywall repair and painting after the wire is in
Wall restoration is part of the job
Rewiring means opening walls. That is exactly why wall restoration is central to this service: our own crew patches plaster or drywall and paints so rooms are restored to like-new, then we clean up our own mess.
How we restore wallsA finished job includes the clean-up
We clean up our own mess
Drop cloths and floor protection go down before we start. When we open walls, we contain dust as we work. When the electrical work — and any plaster, drywall, or paint — is finished, we vacuum, wipe down the floors, haul debris away, and leave the room as clean as we found it, or cleaner.

Questions about this service
Will you repair the plaster after a rewire?
Yes. Patching plaster or drywall and painting is part of how we complete a rewire, not an extra trade you have to hire after we leave.
Can a rewire be done in stages?
Often, yes. We can quote a priority area — a kitchen, a floor, or a safety item — and plan later phases. The written quote will spell out the scope, including restoration and clean-up.
