Planning a Remodel? Don’t Forget the Wiring Behind Your Walls

Spring Lake Park’s Remodeling Electrical Experts

You’re knocking down walls, updating your kitchen, or finishing that basement. The contractor’s focused on drywall and paint, but nobody’s talking about the mess of old wiring behind those walls. Outdated circuits. Cloth-wrapped wires from the 1960s. Junction boxes are buried where they shouldn’t be.

Happy Electric handles the electrical side of remodels so your beautiful new space actually works safely. We’ve rewired dozens of Spring Lake Park homes during renovations, and we make sure your upgraded space has the power it needs without cutting corners on safety.

✓ Bring outdated wiring up to current electrical code during your remodel
✓ Add outlets, circuits, and lighting exactly where you need them in your new layout
✓ Pass inspections without delays or expensive do-overs

What Happens When You Ignore Electrical During Remodels

Opening up walls is your best chance to fix electrical problems you didn’t even know existed. But most homeowners focus on finishes and forget about the wiring until it’s too late. The drywall goes up, and suddenly, there aren’t enough outlets. The kitchen circuit can’t handle modern appliances. The lights flicker because someone added them to an overloaded circuit.

Most homeowners think, “We’ll just work around the existing outlets and switches. It’ll save money.”

The reality: Your old wiring wasn’t designed for how you’ll use the new space. Adding modern kitchens, bathrooms, or home offices without upgrading the electrical system is asking for problems. Overloaded circuits. Code violations. Failed inspections. Worse, you’ve sealed dangerous wiring behind new walls where you can’t see it failing.

Happy Electric works with your contractor to get the electrical right during your remodel. We handle everything from minor updates to complete rewiring, so your finished space is safe and functional.

How We Handle Electrical for Your Remodeling Project

Happy Electric coordinates with your general contractor to ensure the electrical work happens on schedule and meets all code requirements. Here’s our process for remodeling electrical.

Step 1: Pre-Construction Assessment

We review your remodel plans, inspect existing wiring, and identify what needs updating. You’ll know upfront if your panel needs upgrading or if major rewiring is required.

Step 2: Electrical Design & Planning

We design the electrical layout for your new space. Outlet placement, lighting circuits, dedicated lines for appliances—everything planned before walls close up.

Step 3: Coordinated Installation

We work with your contractor’s schedule, rough in wiring when walls are open, and install fixtures and devices when you’re ready for them.

Step 4: Code Compliance & Inspection

All work meets the current electrical code. We coordinate inspections with the city and address any issues before drywall goes up.

Step 5: Final Connections & Testing

Once your space is finished, we install outlets, switches, and fixtures. We test everything to confirm it works safely and correctly.

No surprises. No delays. Just professional electrical work that keeps your remodel on track.

Why Spring Lake Park Homeowners Choose Happy Electric for Remodels

Remodeling electrical work requires coordination, planning, and expertise. Here’s why Happy Electric is the right electrical partner for your renovation project.

We Work With Your Contractor’s Schedule

Electrical work happens in phases during a remodel. Happy Electric coordinates with your GC to rough in wiring, pass inspections, and finish on time.

Complete Rewiring for Older Homes

If your home has knob-and-tube, aluminum, or cloth-wrapped wiring, we handle complete rewiring during your remodel. It’s the perfect time to upgrade.

Kitchen & Bathroom Electrical Specialists

These rooms have strict code requirements. We install GFCI outlets, dedicated circuits for appliances, and proper ventilation wiring.

Basement Finishing Experts

Finished basements need proper lighting, outlets every 12 feet, egress window wiring, and often a subpanel. Happy Electric handles all of it.

Permit & Inspection Coordination

We pull electrical permits, schedule inspections, and ensure everything passes. You don’t chase paperwork or deal with code officials.

Future-Proof Your New Space

We install extra circuits and conduit for future needs. Adding that home theater or EV charger later won’t require tearing open walls again.
