Whole House Rewiring service for Portal and nearby towns
If your Portal home still has knob and tube, cloth-covered cable or aluminum branch wiring, you may already have heard about it from an insurer or a home inspector. A planned home rewiring puts the question to rest.
We map the existing circuits, plan new ones for how you live now and fish cable through walls and ceilings to keep patching to a minimum. Many homes can be rewired in stages while the family stays in place.
Around Portal, older farm and ranch homes sit near housing and shops built during the Bakken years. We work on both. Open country and steady wind in Burke County are hard on overhead services and outdoor equipment, which keeps surge protection, yard lighting and backup generators high on the list.

Whole House Rewiring in Portal: common questions
Can I live in the house during a rewire?
Usually, yes. We work area by area and restore power to the rooms you need at the end of each day.
Will you have to tear out the walls?
We fish cable through attics, basements and wall cavities wherever we can. Some small access openings are normal, and we tell you in advance where they will be.
Is knob and tube wiring dangerous?
It has no ground and its insulation is often brittle after many decades, especially where it has been covered with insulation or spliced into. Replacement is the safe long-term answer.
