Residential Remodels & Electrical Renovations

At BK Electrical Solutions, we help homeowners update, expand, and improve their living spaces with safe, professional electrical work built around their remodel goals. If you are remodeling a kitchen, finishing a basement, updating a bathroom, opening up a floor plan, or renovating an older home, we make sure the electrical system is ready to support the new layout, new fixtures, and new power demands. Our job is to make your renovation safer, more functional, and fully code-compliant from start to finish.

Electrical work is one of the most important parts of any home renovation. Behind the walls, small mistakes can lead to nuisance breaker trips, poor lighting, overloaded circuits, failed inspections, or serious fire hazards. That is why we take the time to plan the wiring around how you actually use your home. We look at the scope of the remodel, the age of the existing system, the condition of the panel, grounding and bonding, outlet placement, lighting needs, dedicated circuit requirements, and all current NEC code requirements. As a family-owned and operated company, we believe in doing the work the right way so you can enjoy the finished space with confidence.

What our remodel and renovation electrical service includes

Every project is different, but our residential remodel electrical services commonly include complete or partial rewiring, branch circuit installation, dedicated circuits for new appliances, lighting design support, switch and receptacle relocation, service panel upgrades, breaker replacement, GFCI and AFCI protection, smoke detector wiring, exhaust fan wiring, under-cabinet lighting, recessed lighting, dimmers, ceiling fan wiring, USB outlets, appliance connections, and final trim-out for devices and fixtures. We also handle electrical rough-in and finish work for remodel contractors and homeowners who want a clean, well-organized installation that passes inspection.

Kitchen remodel electrical work

Kitchens need more power than almost any other room in the house. During a kitchen renovation, we can install new circuits for refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, disposals, electric ranges, wall ovens, range hoods, wine coolers, and countertop appliances. We also update receptacles to meet spacing and GFCI requirements, improve task lighting, add island power, and install under-cabinet and accent lighting to make the space more useful and more comfortable. If your current wiring is outdated or undersized, we can replace it so your new kitchen works as well as it looks.

Bathroom renovation electrical work

Bathrooms have specific safety requirements, and proper wiring matters. We install GFCI-protected outlets, dedicated circuits where needed, upgraded lighting, vanity lights, exhaust fans, heater-fan combinations, and wiring for features like lighted mirrors or bidet outlets. We pay close attention to code-required clearances, moisture protection, and proper fixture placement so the finished bathroom is safe, practical, and ready for daily use.

Basement finishing and room additions

When you finish a basement or add living space, the electrical system needs to grow with it. We wire new bedrooms, family rooms, home offices, workout spaces, wet bars, workshops, and entertainment areas with the right mix of lighting, outlets, switches, and dedicated circuits. We can also add egress lighting, sump pump circuits, smoke and carbon monoxide detector interconnection, and power for mini splits, freezers, or home theater equipment. If you are building an addition, we make sure the new electrical work ties into the existing system safely and efficiently.

Older home electrical updates

Many remodeling projects in the Pittsburgh area involve older homes with outdated wiring, limited outlet placement, ungrounded circuits, or panels that were never designed for modern electrical loads. During a renovation, we can replace old wiring, correct unsafe conditions, remove improper connections, upgrade grounding, and bring affected areas up to current code. This is often the best time to fix hidden issues before the walls are closed back up. It can improve safety, reduce future repair costs, and help your home better support today’s appliances, electronics, and lighting systems.

Our process

We start by learning about your renovation plans, timeline, and budget. Then we evaluate the existing electrical system and identify what needs to be updated, relocated, or expanded. From there, we provide clear recommendations based on safety, function, and code compliance. During the project, we coordinate closely with the homeowner and other trades so the electrical work stays on schedule. We handle rough-in wiring before insulation and drywall, then return for trim-out once finishes are ready. Our goal is to keep the process smooth, organized, and free of surprises.

Why code compliance matters in a remodel

Remodel electrical work is not just about adding a few outlets or hanging new lights. Renovations often trigger important code updates in the areas being changed. That may include AFCI protection, tamper-resistant receptacles, bathroom and kitchen GFCI protection, proper box fill, dedicated appliance circuits, smoke alarm updates, and panel capacity review. At BK Electrical Solutions, we follow the National Electrical Code and local requirements so your project is done correctly. This protects your investment, supports a successful inspection, and helps prevent safety issues down the road.

Brandon was recommended by our agent when we bought our house. We had a fuse box that needed removed and updated. An outlet added for a sump pump and outlets upgraded in our kitchen as well as outlets added for stove and refrigerator that was being relocated. Brandon also moved a 3 gang switch outlet to another wall. His price was very reasonable. His work was quick, clean and exactly as quoted. He also communicated effectively. Brandon is also trustworthy as he was left alone at the home while he completed work. I would highly recommend BK Electrical Solutions and would use him for future projects.
