The cost to rewire a house per square foot varies widely and is confirmed after an on-site inspection. The largest driver is scope: older wiring, safety upgrades, and panel capacity can add more labor than square footage alone. Square feet help with planning, but circuit count and access conditions usually set the budget. We provide upfront estimates and back our labor with a workmanship guarantee. In the Cypress area, we frequently coordinate rewires with panel upgrades to support modern loads.
Key cost drivers we check:
- Aluminum wiring remediation (copper pigtailing and replacing damaged devices)
- Electrical panel upgrade or service size changes
- GFCI/AFCI protection and adding grounded circuits
- Access: attic/crawlspace routes, plaster or drywall repairs, and working in occupied rooms
For a reliable per-square-foot figure, have a licensed electrician map circuits and access points before you set a budget.
