Our Whole House Rewiring work in Modesto
Wiring wears out. Insulation turns brittle, connections loosen and systems installed for a few lamps and a radio now feed air conditioners and computers. Whole house rewiring in Modesto replaces that aging wiring with grounded copper circuits, modern breakers and enough outlets for the way you live now.
Partial home rewiring
Kitchens, bathrooms or the worst circuits first, when a full rewire is not in the budget this year.
Grounding and outlet upgrades
Two-prong outlets replaced with properly grounded or GFCI-protected three-prong receptacles.
Electrical rewiring during a remodel
Open walls are the cheapest time to rewire a house. We coordinate with your contractor's schedule.
Knob and tube wiring replacement
Pre-1950 wiring with no ground and aging insulation taken out of service and replaced with modern cable.
Aluminum wiring replacement
1960s and 70s aluminum branch circuits replaced, or repaired at every connection with approved connectors.
Whole house rewiring
New circuits, grounded outlets, switches, boxes and a labeled panel throughout the home.
Signs a home may need rewiring
- An insurer or home inspector has flagged the wiring
- Two-prong outlets and no ground wires
- Cloth-covered or knob-and-tube wiring in the attic or crawl space
- Frequent blown fuses or tripped breakers
- Outlets or switches that are warm, discolored or loose

Call (888) 633-7804Serving Modesto, Salida and Riverbank
In Modesto and across the San Joaquin Valley, electrical systems work through long, hot summers. Tract homes from the 1950s through the 1980s often still run on their original 100-amp panels, and rural properties add well pumps, shops and ag buildings to the load.
In Modesto we regularly work in Downtown Modesto, the College Area, La Loma and Village One. Our whole house rewiring service also covers nearby Salida, Riverbank, Empire, Ceres, Ripon and Escalon. ZIP codes served: 95350, 95351, 95352, 95353, 95354, 95355, 95356, 95357, 95358, 95397.
What affects whole house rewiring pricing in Modesto
Whole house rewiring cost in Modesto depends on the size of the home, the number of circuits, how accessible the attic and crawl space are, and whether the panel is replaced at the same time. We walk the house, count openings and give you a written quote. Many owners phase the work, starting with the kitchen, bathrooms and panel.

Modesto whole house rewiring FAQs
Will you have to tear out my walls?
No. Most cable is fished through the attic, crawl space and wall cavities. We cut small access holes only where there is no other route, and we tell you first.
Is knob and tube wiring dangerous?
It was safe when installed, but it has no ground, its insulation breaks down, and it was never meant to be buried in attic insulation or to carry modern loads. Many insurers also decline to cover it.
Do I have to replace aluminum wiring?
Not always. Where full replacement is not practical, each connection can be repaired with connectors rated for aluminum. We explain both options and the cost of each.
Should I upgrade the panel at the same time?
Often it makes sense, since new circuits need breaker space. See our electrical panel upgrade page, or start with an electrical inspection if you are unsure what the house needs.
What customers say
A 1940s house with original wiring. They rewired it room by room so we could keep living there, and labeled the new panel so clearly even I can read it.
Smart switches, a video doorbell and new neutrals in a few old switch boxes. Everything works with our app and the old three-way finally makes sense.
They wired our kitchen remodel from rough-in to final. Island outlets, under-cabinet lights and all the appliance circuits. Our contractor asked for their number.
