Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsHow much does it cost to rewire a house per square foot?
Whole-home rewiring typically costs $2,000-$4,000 per square foot, with many average homes totaling $8,000-$15,000. Pricing moves most with the home’s size, how easy wiring paths are to reach, and whether your electrical panel also needs upgrading.
After an on-site evaluation, we provide upfront pricing and a clear 3-10 day schedule; many projects can be done while you stay in the home with temporary power. We regularly handle occupied-home rewires around Raleigh and Clayton with planning that limits wall openings and daily disruption.
- Expect a higher per-square-foot rate if walls must be opened widely
- Costs rise with difficult attic/crawlspace access or knob-and-tube/cloth wiring
- Panel upgrades, added grounding, and new circuits increase scope

Whole-home rewiring typically costs $8,000–$15,000 for an average home, with final pricing confirmed after an on-site evaluation. The biggest drivers of price are home size and how easily we can access wiring through attics, crawlspaces, and walls.
Most projects take 3–10 days, and in many cases you can stay in the home while we work using temporary power. If a service panel upgrade or grounding is needed to meet code, that can add scope but improves safety for the long term. We regularly complete these projects in the Durham area and provide upfront pricing after we evaluate your home. Our work includes a labor warranty, with extended coverage available to maintenance plan members.
What affects your total cost:
- Square footage and number of circuits
- Access to wiring (attic/crawlspace vs. extensive wall opening)
- Panel upgrades, grounding, and code corrections
- Drywall/finish repairs and whether the home is occupied during work
