Electrical Services for Residential and Commercial Properties

When a remodel or repair project touches the walls, ceilings, or panel box, you need electrical services that are scheduled, permitted, and inspected correctly from the start. High Quality Contracting handles electrical work in-house alongside remodeling projects, so you’re not tracking down a separate electrician or waiting on someone else’s schedule to keep your job moving.

What Our Electrical Services Cover

Our electrical scope covers the work that happens inside the home or commercial space. That includes:

  • Panel upgrades (100A to 200A or 400A)
  • Service upgrades coordinated with your utility provider
  • Circuit additions for new appliances, home offices, or shop equipment
  • Outlet and switch installation, including USB and smart-switch options
  • Recessed lighting and fixture rough-ins
  • EV charger rough-in and dedicated circuit installation
  • GFCI and AFCI breaker upgrades for code compliance
  • Wiring for additions and remodels, including new rooms, finished basements, and kitchen expansions

One thing that falls outside our scope: the physical utility service entrance connection from the pole or underground feed to your meter is handled by your utility company, not a contractor. We coordinate with them when a service upgrade is involved, but that portion of the work is theirs.

When You Need an Electrical Upgrade or Repair

A few situations where electrical work becomes necessary. Check whether any of these apply to your property:

  • Breakers trip repeatedly under normal household loads
  • You’re adding a major appliance, such as a range, EV charger, hot tub, or central AC unit
  • Your home has aluminum branch-circuit wiring, common in houses built between 1965 and 1973
  • You’re finishing a basement or converting an unfinished space into living area
  • You’re building an addition and need circuits extended into the new square footage
  • An inspector flagged electrical deficiencies during a sale, refinance, or permit review
  • Outlets are ungrounded, two-prong, or missing GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms
  • Your panel is a brand known for fire or failure risk, such as Federal Pacific or Zinsco

Any one of these is a reasonable starting point for a conversation about scope and cost.

How We Handle Electrical Work Within Your Remodel

Electrical is one of the trades that has to be sequenced correctly. Rough-in happens before drywall closes. Inspections have to clear before insulation goes in. If you’re managing a separate electrician while a general contractor runs the rest of the job, those handoffs are your problem to coordinate.

When you work with High Quality Contracting, electrical is part of the same project scope. Our licensed electricians are scheduled around the other trades, permits are pulled as part of the overall project, and inspections are handled without you needing to make separate calls. That matters most on larger projects, like a full kitchen remodel where lighting, outlets, and appliance circuits all have to land in the right places before cabinets go in, or a basement finish where every circuit is new construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Wisconsin requires an electrical permit for most work beyond simple fixture replacements, including panel upgrades, new circuits, and wiring for additions. High Quality Contracting pulls the required permits as part of your project, and all work is inspected by the local authority having jurisdiction.

Electrical is included within the overall remodel contract when it’s part of the project scope. You don’t need a separate agreement or a separately sourced electrician. Scheduling, permits, and inspections are all coordinated through the same project team.

A panel upgrade replaces the breaker panel inside your home, typically increasing capacity from 100A to 200A. A service upgrade involves increasing the size of the utility feed coming into the home, which requires coordination with your utility company. The two are often done together but are distinct scopes of work.

Common indicators include aluminum branch-circuit wiring (found in many homes built 1965 to 1973), ungrounded two-prong outlets throughout the house, a panel brand with a known failure history, or repeated breaker trips under normal loads. A licensed electrician can assess the condition of your wiring and identify what needs to be addressed versus what can stay.

Electrical work done out of sequence or without proper permits creates real problems down the road, from failed inspections to insurance complications. Getting it right the first time starts with a conversation about scope. Reach out to High Quality Contracting to discuss your project and get a quote.
