Professional Electrical Remodels in Cheyenne, WY

Not necessarily. If your remodel is limited to one or two rooms and the existing wiring in those areas is in good condition, we may only need to add circuits and update outlets. However, if we discover knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, or other safety hazards during the assessment, we strongly recommend addressing those issues while walls are already open. A remodel is the most cost-effective time to upgrade your wiring because we avoid the expense of opening and repairing walls later.

A properly wired kitchen typically requires a minimum of seven to ten dedicated circuits: two 20-amp small appliance circuits for countertop outlets, one dedicated circuit each for the refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and microwave, plus circuits for the range or cooktop, hood fan, and lighting. If you have additional appliances like a second oven, wine cooler, or instant hot water dispenser, each needs its own circuit. We evaluate your specific kitchen plan and size the electrical accordingly.

In Cheyenne and most Wyoming jurisdictions, any electrical work beyond simple fixture replacements requires a permit. Adding circuits, relocating outlets, installing new panels, and rewiring all require permits and inspections. We handle the entire permitting process, including application submission, inspection scheduling, and ensuring all work passes. Skipping permits can void your homeowner’s insurance and create problems when you sell your home.

We work directly with your general contractor or project manager to align our electrical work with the overall remodel schedule. Our rough-in happens after framing and before insulation and drywall. Our trim-out happens after painting and before final cleanup. We show up on time, communicate proactively about any issues, and ensure our work does not delay other trades. Isaac has years of experience coordinating multi-trade projects from his government-contract work.

Hidden issues are common in older Cheyenne homes. We may find knob-and-tube wiring, improperly spliced connections, missing junction boxes, or undersized wiring. When we discover these problems, we document them with photos, explain the safety implications, and provide a change order with a clear cost to address them. We never proceed with additional work without your approval, and we always recommend fixing safety hazards while walls are open to avoid much more expensive repairs later.

For a standard kitchen or bathroom remodel, the rough-in typically takes one to two days, and the trim-out takes another half day to full day. Whole-house rewiring during a major renovation takes three to five days for the rough-in phase. These timelines can vary based on home size, accessibility, and scope. We provide specific timelines in your proposal and coordinate our schedule with your contractor’s project plan to minimize any delays to the overall remodel.
