Massachusetts has some of the oldest housing in the country, and plenty of Brookline Village homes are still carrying current on wire installed before the war. OSB rewires houses in stages so you keep living in yours while the work runs.
“The quote they gave me on the phone was the number on the invoice. That is apparently rare and it shouldn't be.”
“Storm took out our power for four days last winter. This year we have a standby generator that started itself while we were asleep.”
“We had knob-and-tube in the attic and our insurer was getting nervous. They rewired in stages so we never lost power for more than a few hours at a time.”
Rewiring is priced by circuit count, square footage and access. A small Brookline Village home may be a five-figure project; a partial rewire of a kitchen and bath is a fraction of that. We walk the house and quote flat.
Almost never. We work zone by zone so you keep power, heat and a working kitchen through the job.
Existing knob-and-tube isn't automatically illegal, but it can't be extended, it has no ground, and insurers increasingly won't write a policy over it. That's why most Brookline Village owners replace it.
Less than you expect. We fish cable through bays, closets and chases and cut small, patchable access points rather than opening whole walls.
Yes. Partial rewires are extremely common in Brookline Village — kitchens, bathrooms and second floors are the usual starting points.
