The job

What rewiring usually includes

  • A survey of existing circuits, panel and wiring types
  • A room-by-room plan for new circuits, outlets and switches

  • Panel replacement or upgrade if needed
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms installed to current requirements
  • Rough and final inspections
  • Old wiring disconnected and made safe
Price

What drives the cost of rewiring in Southfield

  • Home size, number of stories and number of circuits
  • Plaster and lath versus drywall, and how much wall access is needed
  • Attic and basement access for fishing cable
  • Whether the panel or service must be upgraded at the same time
  • Patching and painting included or by others
  • Lead-safe work practices in pre-1978 homes
  • Occupied home versus vacant during work
  • The age of the home: the typical Southfield home was built around 1969, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Southfield

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Southfield was built around 1969. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1969 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Southfield building department before work starts.
