Faulty Wiring Repair & Rewiring in Brooklyn
Brooklyn's beautiful old housing stock hides some genuinely dangerous wiring. Knob-and-tube in Bed-Stuy row houses, deteriorating cloth BX in Bay Ridge, aluminum branch circuits from the late 1960s — we replace all of it.
We start with diagnosis, not demolition. Circuit tracing, thermal checks on terminations and insulation testing tell us whether you need a whole-home rewire or a targeted replacement of two failing circuits. That distinction can be the difference between a one-day repair and a multi-week project.
For full rewires we sequence the work floor by floor so the home stays livable, keep openings minimal, and finish with a labelled panel, AFCI/GFCI protection and documentation for insurance or resale. Violation corrections are filed and inspected.
