How much does house rewiring cost per square foot?

House rewiring is rarely priced per square foot; Dawson's Electric Inc provides an upfront, scope-based quote after an in-home evaluation. Total cost usually depends more on access and project complexity than area alone, with many homes landing between $8,000 and $15,000 when factors like capacity planning and safety upgrades are included. We regularly complete rewires in the Fuquay Varina area and plan holistically for code, load, and future needs like EV charging.

If you’re comparing bids, watch for these cost drivers that square-foot pricing misses:

  • Limited attic or crawlspace access that slows wire runs
  • Plaster or lathe walls that need careful fishing and patching
  • Multi-story layouts or long home runs that add labor and materials
  • Painting and drywall restoration scope after electrical work Schedule an in-home evaluation to confirm the exact scope, options, and a firm, itemized price before any work begins.
