Some wiring ages gracefully. Some does not. Downtown Stuart's historic homes — 1920s bungalows and mid-century houses — can still carry wiring types that are brittle, ungrounded, or simply undersized for modern loads, and insurance companies are increasingly asking questions about it.
We do whole-home and partial rewiring across Stuart and Martin County: new wire, new devices, grounded circuits, and panels to match — permitted, inspected, and priced in writing before work begins.
Signs a Home Needs Rewiring
Two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout the house. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring from the 1960s and 70s with warm devices or flickering. Cloth-insulated wiring that crumbles when touched. Breakers that trip constantly because the circuits were designed for a fraction of today's loads. An insurance inspection or 4-point that flagged the wiring.
You do not need all of these to justify a conversation. An electrical inspection gives you a documented answer about what your home actually has.
Whole-Home vs. Partial Rewiring
Whole-home rewiring replaces every branch circuit: new wire home-run to the panel, new outlets and switches, grounding throughout, and circuits sized for modern loads — kitchen, laundry, AC, and all. It is the right call when the wiring is systemically aged or the wrong type throughout.
Partial rewiring targets the worst of it: the kitchen and laundry circuits, the ungrounded rooms, the aluminum runs. When most of the house is sound, we fix what is not and leave the rest alone. The inspection tells us which path fits.
What the Work Looks Like
Rewiring is invasive — there is no way to replace wire inside walls without opening them. We plan the routes to minimize drywall damage, cut cleanly, fish wire where the framing allows, and patch what we open. Most whole-home rewires run several days to a couple of weeks depending on the house.
Permits are pulled and the work is inspected. When we are done, every circuit is tested, labeled at the panel, and documented — the paperwork your insurance company wants to see.
Common questions
How do I know if my home has aluminum wiring?
Homes wired roughly 1965 to 1975 may have aluminum branch circuits. An inspection confirms it — we look at the panel and a sample of devices and tell you what you have and what it means.
Will rewiring damage my walls?
Some drywall repair is unavoidable, but we plan routes to minimize it and patch what we open. We'll walk you through exactly where we expect to open walls before work begins.
Can you rewire just the kitchen?
Yes. Partial rewiring for the kitchen, laundry, or any problem area is common — especially when the rest of the house checks out. The inspection scopes it.
Does rewiring require a permit?
Yes, and inspections. We pull the permits and handle them as part of the job.
