Whole-House Rewire in Gresham, OR

Every branch circuit replaced with new grounded cable and new devices, routed through the attic and crawlspace wherever possible.

A whole-house rewire replaces every branch circuit in one job: new grounded cable from the panel to each outlet, switch, light and hard-wired appliance. In Gresham the house is rarely an antique. More often the problem is layers — two-prong circuits from the original build, an aluminum run from 1965–73, a garage wired by a past owner, all tied into one panel. When faults turn up in room after room, replacing the lot is simpler than chasing each one. We open a sample of boxes first and tell you in writing whether the house needs all of it or only part.

The work comes in phases. Once you approve the estimate we route new cable through open framing first — attic joists, crawlspace, stud bays — and cut into finished walls only where no other path exists. The inspector sees the cable at rough-in, before anything is closed up, and again at final. The old wiring is cut dead at the panel and at every box. If the main panel is replaced too, PGE disconnects the house for the swap and brings it back once the work is signed off; otherwise PGE is not involved. Patching is written into the estimate, and GFCI and AFCI protection goes wherever the code calls for it.
