Old, brittle wiring, made new.
Knob-and-tube, cloth, or aging wiring can’t keep up with a modern home, and insurers know it. We rewire homes throughout Delaware with minimal disruption, bringing every circuit up to current code.
Knob-and-tube and cloth-insulated wiring did its job for decades, but it was never built for central air, a kitchen full of appliances, or the load a modern home pulls — and most insurers won’t write a policy on a home that still has it. We rewire homes throughout Delaware circuit by circuit, fishing new wire through finished walls wherever we can so the disruption stays low and the drywall work stays small.
Every circuit comes back grounded, bonded, and up to current code, and we document the work so your inspector and your insurer have what they need. Older Wilmington and Dover homes often turn up aluminum branch wiring or an undersized panel once the cover comes off — we flag it up front so there are no surprises mid-job.
A typical single-family rewire takes about 3 to 7 working days, depending on size and how open the walls are. We phase the work so you keep power to part of the home throughout.
No. We fish new wire through existing walls and ceilings wherever access allows, and limit cut-ins to the spots we truly need. We’re drywall-conscious by habit — fewer holes, cleaner patches.
It isn’t illegal to have, but it can’t be extended, and many insurers won’t cover a home that still relies on it. If yours is failing, brittle, or buried in insulation, it’s time to replace it.
