Electrical is one of the first trades in and one of the last out on any renovation, which makes it the easiest thing to get wrong. Outlets end up in the wrong places, the lighting plan gets decided after the ceiling is closed, and the panel turns out not to have the capacity for what’s been specified.
Whether you’re updating a single room or expanding the whole property, we handle projects of any size.
Bringing existing systems up to what the renovated space needs.
Placed for how the room will actually be used.
Planned before the ceiling closes, not after.
Wiring for connected systems and controls.
When the existing panel can't carry the new load.
Complete electrical for new square footage.
It’s the point in a project where decisions are cheap and reversible. Once the walls close, moving an outlet or adding a circuit means cutting back into finished work. Getting the rough-in right is the difference between a renovation that works the way you imagined and one you spend years working around.
We’ll walk the space with you before rough-in begins and confirm where everything goes, then coordinate with your other trades so the electrical isn’t holding up the schedule.
As you plan your renovation, it’s worth considering your electrical system early rather than discovering a problem mid-project.
We can assess your current system and recommend what your project actually needs.
Proper electrical planning is essential to the success and safety of any renovation, and it’s far cheaper to handle while the walls are open.
Addressing electrical needs during the remodel saves time and money later, and gives you a more comfortable, functional space.
Renovation budgets have a habit of tightening as the project goes on, and electrical work often reveals itself partway through. Flexible financing through Synchrony Bank means a necessary upgrade doesn't have to come out of the finishes budget.
We recently hired Frain Electric to upgrade our electrical service from 100 to 200 amps and run all the wiring for a new bathroom addition. They did an outstanding job from start to finish. The crew was professional, respectful, and incredibly efficient. They worked cleanly, kept the job site neat every day, and finished the work faster than expected without cutting any corners. Everything was done to code, and they even took the time to explain the process and answer all of our questions. Thanks to their excellent work, we now have plenty of power for our growing home and a properly wired bathroom ready for the rest of the build. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality electrician, Frain Electric is the way to go. We’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects.
As early as possible. Rough-in happens while the walls are open, and decisions about outlet placement, lighting and circuits are cheap at that stage and expensive afterwards.
It is the stage where wiring, boxes and circuits go in before insulation and drywall. Once the walls close, moving anything means cutting back into finished work.
Often it needs upgrading. An addition adds circuits, and a panel that was adequate for the original house may not have the capacity or the spare slots.
Yes. Renovation work means fitting into someone else's schedule, and we coordinate with the other trades so the electrical is not what holds the job up.
