Massachusetts has some of the oldest housing in the country, and plenty of Charlton Depot 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.
“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.”
“Office fit-out on a tight deadline. They worked around our contractor, hit every date, and the inspection passed first time.”
“Six recessed lights in the kitchen and a dimmer that actually works. The ceiling patch was so small I didn't need a painter.”
Rewiring is priced by circuit count, square footage and access. A small Charlton Depot 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 Charlton Depot 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 Charlton Depot — kitchens, bathrooms and second floors are the usual starting points.
