Massachusetts has some of the oldest housing in the country, and plenty of Readville 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.
“Our panel was original to the house and completely full. OSB upgraded us to 200 amp, pulled the permit, met the inspector, and left the basement cleaner than they found it.”
“Breaker had been tripping for months and two other companies just replaced parts. OSB traced it to a backstabbed outlet behind a bookcase in twenty minutes.”
“They rewired our restaurant kitchen overnight so we never closed a single service. That mattered more than the price, honestly.”
Rewiring is priced by circuit count, square footage and access. A small Readville 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 Readville 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 Readville — kitchens, bathrooms and second floors are the usual starting points.
