The Twin Cities' Remodel Electrical Specialists

A remodel is not the same job as a new outlet. Old homes hide undersized panels, ungrounded wiring, and circuits that were never meant to carry a modern kitchen. An addition needs load calculations, a right-sized panel, and rough-in timed perfectly with the framers. Renovolt has spent 18 years doing exactly this across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the suburbs — working shoulder-to-shoulder with general contractors, cabinet installers, and homeowners to wire renovations that are safe, modern, and inspection-ready. We plan the electrical with you before the walls close, run clean circuits for lighting and appliances, upgrade the panel when the load demands it, and pull every permit. When your remodel is done, the electrical behind it is as new as the finishes in front of it.

  • Kitchens, baths, basements & additions
  • Load calcs & right-sized panel upgrades
  • Rough-in timed with your GC & framers
  • Every permit pulled, every inspection passed

Electrical for Every Kind of Renovation

From a single-room refresh to a full addition — the electrical, done for the remodel.

Kitchen & Bath Remodel Wiring

New circuits for ranges, islands, and appliances, plus recessed, pendant, and under-cabinet lighting on dimmers — wired for the kitchen or bath you're building, not the one you're tearing out.

Home Addition Circuits

Load calculations, dedicated circuits, and a panel sized for your new suite, bump-out, or second story — roughed in on the framers' schedule and finished clean.

Recessed & Accent Lighting

Recessed cans, pendants, under-cabinet, cove, and accent lighting — layered and on dimmers, so your renovated space looks as good lit as it does in daylight.

Panel Upgrades for Remodels

When a remodel adds load your old panel can't carry, we upgrade the service and panel so everything runs safely — the upgrade that quietly makes the whole renovation possible.

Rewiring During Renovation

Open walls are the once-in-a-generation chance to replace ungrounded, aluminum, or knob-and-tube wiring. We rewire while the walls are open — safely and to modern code.

Permits & Inspections

We pull the electrical permits, coordinate the inspections, and make sure your remodel's wiring passes — so the paperwork is as handled as the circuits.

Why Renovolt

Built for the Way Remodels Actually Work

We Plan Before the Walls Close

We map the electrical with you and your GC early — lighting, circuits, and panel — so nothing gets missed while the walls are open and cheap to change.

We Hit the Rough-In Schedule

Renovations live and die by the schedule. We show up for rough-in on time and coordinate finish with your cabinet and trim crews.

Old Home, Modern Code

We find the ungrounded outlets, overloaded panels, and outdated wiring hiding in older Twin Cities homes and bring them up to today's code.

Permits & Inspections Handled

Every job is permitted and inspected. You get a remodel that's legal, safe, and documented — not a hidden liability behind new drywall.

Why It Matters

Remodel Wiring Isn't New-Build Wiring

01

You're Working Around What's Already There

A remodel means tying new circuits into old wiring, an existing panel, and finishes you can't disturb. It takes an electrician who reads a house, not just a blueprint.

02

The Panel Is Usually the Hidden Problem

Add a kitchen, a suite, or a basement and the load often exceeds what the old panel can safely carry. Catching that early is the difference between a smooth remodel and a stalled one.

03

Timing With the Trades Is Everything

Electrical has to be roughed in before insulation and drywall, and finished after. Miss the window and the whole renovation waits. We live by that schedule.

How It Works

From Renovation Plan to Powered Up

1

Walk the Project

We walk your remodel or addition with you (and your GC), look at the existing panel and wiring, and map what the electrical needs to do.

2

Plan & Flat Quote

You get an electrical plan — circuits, lighting, panel — and a clear flat quote, coordinated with your renovation timeline.

3

Rough-In on Schedule

We run the new wiring while the walls are open, upgrade the panel if needed, and hit the rough-in inspection on time.

4

Finish & Final Inspection

After drywall, we install the fixtures, outlets, and switches, test everything, and pass the final inspection — remodel powered up.

Reviews

Twin Cities Homeowners on Renovolt

We gutted our 1920s kitchen and Renovolt handled every bit of the electrical — new circuits for the range and island, recessed lighting on dimmers, under-cabinet lights, and a subpanel because the old wiring couldn't handle the load. They worked right alongside our GC and cabinet crew, hit every rough-in and finish date, and everything passed inspection first time. They actually understand remodels, not just new outlets. The kitchen is stunning and the electrical is finally safe and modern.
Katherine RossHomeowner, Edina
We added a primary suite over the garage and Renovolt sized a new panel, ran all the circuits, and wired the lighting, heat, and outlets for the addition. Clean work, pulled all the permits, coordinated with the framers so the rough-in happened at exactly the right time. On budget and on schedule. Couldn't have asked for better.
Marcus DialloHomeowner, Maple Grove
Our basement remodel needed a ton of electrical — egress lighting, a wet bar, a home theater, and dedicated circuits. Renovolt planned it all with us, did it to code, and made the inspections painless. They treat a remodel like the specialty it is. Highly recommend for any Twin Cities renovation.

Permits, Inspections, and a Remodel That Passes Clean

Nothing stalls a renovation like failed electrical inspection — or worse, un-permitted work that surfaces when you try to sell. Remodel wiring has to satisfy the inspector and the resale appraisal, not just turn the lights on. Renovolt pulls every electrical permit, schedules the rough-in and final inspections, and makes sure the work is documented and code-compliant from the start. Your GC gets an electrical partner who keeps the project moving; you get a renovation with nothing hidden behind the drywall. When the remodel's done, the wiring is legal, safe, and something you'd happily show an inspector, an appraiser, or the next owner.

  • Every electrical permit pulled for you
  • Rough-in & final inspections scheduled
  • Code-compliant, documented work
  • Nothing hidden behind new drywall
Questions

Remodel Electrical FAQs

Do you work with our general contractor?

Yes — most of our work is alongside a GC, and we're good at it. We coordinate rough-in and finish around the framing, insulation, drywall, and cabinet schedules so the electrical never holds up the project. If you don't have a GC and it's an electrical-only remodel, we can run it directly with you.

Will my old panel handle a kitchen or addition remodel?

Often not — and that's one of the first things we check. Adding a modern kitchen, a suite, or a finished basement frequently pushes the load past what an older panel can safely carry. We do a load calculation up front and, if needed, upgrade the service and panel so the whole remodel runs safely. Catching this early keeps your renovation on schedule.

Should I rewire while the walls are open?

If your home has ungrounded, aluminum, or knob-and-tube wiring, a remodel is the best (and cheapest) time to replace it — the walls are already open. We'll tell you honestly what's worth rewiring now versus what's fine to leave, so you make the call with full information instead of discovering it later.

Do you handle the permits and inspections?

Always. We pull the electrical permits, schedule the rough-in and final inspections, and make sure the work passes. You get a remodel that's fully permitted and documented — important for safety, for resale, and for peace of mind.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — Renovolt is a licensed Minnesota electrical contractor (#EA742318) and fully insured. Remodel and addition wiring must be permitted and done to code, so licensed, specialized work is exactly what protects your renovation and your home.
