Rewiring is the job people put off longest and regret waiting on most. In Draper it comes up for a specific reason. Draper is mostly newer, large-format housing, and SunCrest in particular sits high enough that weather and load both behave differently than they do on the valley floor.
What rewiring means in a Draper house
Draper is mostly newer, large-format housing, and SunCrest in particular sits high enough that weather and load both behave differently than they do on the valley floor. That history shows up in the work.
Rewiring an older house is a routing problem before it is an electrical one. Where the wire can travel through the structure decides how much finish comes off, and that decides most of the cost. We walk it and plan it before we open anything.
Big houses with two EVs, a shop and a hot tub are common here, and the load calculation usually decides the job before anything else does. We rewire throughout Draper and Salt Lake County, and we can phase the work so the house stays livable while it happens.
What we do for Draper homeowners
Knob-and-Tube Replacement
The original wiring method in pre-1950 homes. It has no ground, its insulation embrittles with age, and insurers frequently will not write a policy over it.
Cloth-Insulated Wire
Mid-century cloth-covered branch wiring cracks and sheds at the terminations, which is exactly where the heat is. Replacement is the only real fix.
Aluminum Branch Circuits
Late-60s and early-70s aluminum branch wiring has known connection failure modes. Remediation ranges from approved connectors to full replacement.
Ungrounded Circuit Conversion
Two-prong outlets throughout a house mean no equipment ground. Modern electronics and appliances assume one is there.
Phased Rewires
Not everyone can move out. We can rewire a floor, a wing or a circuit group at a time so the house stays livable through it.
Plaster and Finish Planning
Old lath-and-plaster and masonry construction decide the routing. We plan the access before we open anything.
Local, licensed and on time
- We plan the routing first — in an old Draper house, how we get the wire there determines the cost more than the wire does.
- Permitted and inspected — we pull the Draper permit and schedule inspections, and you get the documentation.
- Five-year warranty — on our workmanship throughout the rewire.
- Livable phasing — where a full rewire is not practical at once, we sequence it so you keep your kitchen and your bedrooms.

Common questions
How do I know if my Draper home has knob-and-tube?
Look in the attic or an unfinished basement for individual wires running through white ceramic tubes and knobs rather than a single cable. If your house predates 1950 and has two-prong outlets, it is worth an inspection either way.
Will my insurer make me rewire?
Many carriers will not write or renew a policy on active knob-and-tube, and some ask about aluminum branch wiring specifically. If your carrier has raised it, bring us the letter and we will scope to what they are asking for.
Do we have to move out?
Often not. We can phase the work so you keep a functioning kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms throughout. Whole-house-at-once is faster and usually cheaper per circuit, and we will lay out both options.
Does rewiring include a new panel?
Frequently, yes — a rewire is the natural moment to correct an undersized or hazard-brand service, and doing both together costs less than doing them a year apart.
How much drywall or plaster gets opened?
Less than people expect. We fish where we can and cut where we must, and we mark the plan with you before anything opens. Patching can be included in the scope if you want it handled.
