Remodels and Repairs
Remodel wiring is the electrical work that happens behind the walls during a renovation—new circuits, relocated outlets, updated lighting, and code-compliant grounding. Classic Home Electric handles electrical wiring for kitchen, bathroom, basement, and whole-home remodels throughout Lynnwood, Snohomish County, and King County, plus dependable general repairs when something stops working.
When You Need This Service
Kitchen or Bathroom Renovation
Modern kitchens and baths need dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, and lighting layouts that meet current code—requirements that older wiring almost never satisfies.
Opening Up Walls for Open Concept
Removing walls means rerouting wiring and switches that ran through them. We re-plan the circuits so power stays safe and convenient in the new layout.
Finishing a Basement or Garage
An unfinished basement or garage needs complete wiring from scratch—outlets, lighting, smoke detection, and often a subpanel to support the added load.
Something Stopped Working
A dead outlet, flickering light, or tripping breaker is a repair need that can signal a deeper wiring problem worth diagnosing before it worsens.

What to Expect During the Process
We review your remodel plans and confirm what circuits, outlets, and fixtures each space needs to meet code and your goals.
During rough-in—before drywall—we run new wiring, set outlet and switch boxes, and stage lighting locations.
We coordinate with your contractor or trades so electrical rough-in fits the construction schedule rather than blocking it.
After walls are closed and finishes are done, we install devices, fixtures, and plates and test every circuit.
Where permits are required, we handle the application and arrange the inspection with your local jurisdiction.
Safety & Planning Considerations
Kitchens and Baths Require GFCI Protection
Current code requires GFCI protection on outlets near water. Older remodels often lack it. We bring these circuits up to code as part of the wiring work.
Open Walls Are the Best Time to Upgrade Wiring
When walls are open during a remodel, adding or replacing wiring is far cheaper and cleaner than after drywall. We flag upgrade opportunities while access is easy.
Added Loads May Need a Panel Upgrade
New appliances, a finished basement, or an ADU can exceed your panel's capacity. We assess load during planning and recommend a panel upgrade if the remodel requires it.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should the electrician be involved in a remodel?
Early—ideally during planning, before framing or drywall. Getting wiring rough-in right during the open-wall phase is far cleaner and less expensive than adding or moving it afterward.
Do remodels require electrical permits?
Most do. New circuits, relocated wiring, and service changes typically require a permit and inspection. Simple fixture swaps usually do not. We handle permitting whenever it applies to your project.
Will my kitchen remodel need new circuits?
Often yes. Modern kitchens require dedicated circuits for appliances, GFCI-protected countertops, and proper lighting. We confirm what your specific layout needs during planning.
How disruptive is electrical work during a remodel?
Since the walls are already open during a remodel, electrical rough-in fits naturally into the construction sequence. We coordinate timing with your contractor so electrical work does not delay other trades.
Can you fix electrical problems while you are already here for the remodel?
Yes. While walls are open we can address older wiring, add dedicated circuits, or fix existing issues that would be costly to reach later. It is an efficient time to take care of repairs.
