Knob and tube replacement FAQ
Rewiring questions
Do I have to rewire the whole house at once?
Often no—we phase by risk and room priority unless insurance mandates otherwise.
Will drywall be damaged?
Some openings are unavoidable—we discuss patch strategy before we start.
Is knob and tube always illegal?
It is obsolete and often uninsurable—replacement paths depend on access and budget.
Can you add outlets during a rewire?
Yes—layout planning up front saves rework.
How long does a full rewire take?
