Remodel and new construction electrical in Southeast Louisiana
Whether you are gutting a kitchen, finishing an addition or building from the slab up, the electrical work happens twice: once before the walls close, and once after. Getting the first part right is what keeps the second part from turning into a problem.
We work with homeowners doing one room at a time and with builders running a whole project. Either way the goal is the same. Enough circuits, in the places you will actually use them, installed so the job passes inspection the first time instead of the third.
What's included
- Rough-in wiring before the walls close
- Finish wiring, devices and fixtures
- Kitchen and bathroom remodel wiring
- Additions and converted spaces
- Code-compliant circuits for new appliances
- Working alongside your other trades and the inspection schedule
Decide these before the walls close
- Where the furniture will actually sit, so outlets do not end up behind it
- Whether the kitchen needs dedicated circuits for the microwave, disposal and dishwasher
- How many lights belong on one switch, and which ones you want dimmed
- Where you will want an outlet outside, and on which wall
- Whether any room will double as an office, which usually changes the outlet count
How the job goes
- 01
We walk the plans or the space with you
Before anything is pulled we agree on circuit count, placement and what each room needs to do. Changes are close to free at this stage.
- 02
Rough-in, before the drywall
We run the wire, set the boxes and leave the work ready for inspection and for the drywall crew behind us.
- 03
Finish and final check
We install devices and fixtures, label the panel, and walk the whole job with you so you know what every switch does.
Common questions
When should I bring in the electrician on a remodel?
Before the drywall goes up, and ideally before the framing is finished. Moving a circuit is cheap while the wall is open and expensive once it is closed. A short conversation early usually saves more than it costs.
Does a kitchen remodel need new circuits?
Almost always. A modern kitchen needs dedicated circuits for the appliances and specific outlet spacing along the counters. An older kitchen was built before those rules existed, so we bring the new work up to current code even when the rest of the house stays as it is.
Can you work around my contractor's schedule?
Yes. We are used to coming in for rough-in and again for finish, and we would rather coordinate with the other trades than hold everyone up. Tell us the drywall date and we will work backward from it.
Will the new work pass inspection?
That is the whole point of doing it right the first time. We install to current code and we stay available while the work is inspected, so anything that comes up gets handled without you standing in the middle of it.
Do I need to be there the whole time?
No. We want you there at the start to confirm placements and at the end to walk through what we did. In between you can go about your day.
