How much does it cost to rewire a house per square foot?

Rewiring cost per square foot varies by home and is confirmed after our on-site evaluation. Labor and materials scale with the scope of work, and required code upgrades can change totals; many average homes fall between $8,000 and $15,000 for a complete rewire. We routinely complete full rewires in the Smithfield area and plan work so most families can stay in their homes during the project.

Key factors that change the per‑square‑foot price:

  • Home size and number of circuits to update
  • Access to attics, crawl spaces, or plaster walls that slow fishing new wire
  • Panel upgrades, grounding additions, or other code compliance work

Schedule an in-home assessment to get a firm, upfront price.
