Basement finishing.

Renovation
Renovation & Tenant Improvement Electrical
The electrical work in a renovation is mostly invisible when it’s finished, which is exactly why it’s worth getting right while the walls are open. Everything is cheap before the drywall goes on and expensive afterwards.

Relocating and adding
panels, subpanels, circuits, switches and fixtures
Bringing existing work up to code

What to expect
-
We look at the drawings, or the room.
Either works. What matters is understanding what the finished space has to do before anything is roughed in.
-
We check the service can carry it.
New kitchens, basements and suites add load. Finding out the panel is full at rough-in stage is an expensive discovery.
-
We quote it in stages — rough-in and finish
so it aligns with the rest of the build.
-
We rough in
and the inspection happens before the walls close.
-
We come back for finish
devices, fixtures, trim and testing.
BRIGHTER IDEAS FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.
Questions we get asked
Do I need a permit to develop my basement?
Yes, and the electrical is part of it. Unpermitted basement work is a problem when you sell and a bigger problem for insurance.
Can you work alongside my contractor?
Yes, and we prefer it. We’d rather be scheduled into a build properly than parachuted in when something has been missed.
What about a secondary suite?
Legal suites carry specific requirements, including how the suite is fed and how alarms are interconnected. It’s worth involving an electrician before you frame, not after.
Should I add circuits I don’t need yet?
While the walls are open, yes. A spare circuit roughed in now costs a fraction of one added later.
How much notice do you need?
For rough-in and finish stages, as much as you can give. For a small renovation, usually less than you’d expect.
