Who We Are

Queens' Master Electricians

Queens House Rewiring is a team of NYC-licensed master electricians who rewire lived-in homes and modernize electrical service across Queens, NY. Rewiring a house someone actually lives in is the hard version of the job: you replace the wiring the whole home runs on with the family still there and the walls barely opened. Most homeowners brace for weeks of chaos, then are surprised when we map the whole run first, feed new grounded copper through the cavities already inside the walls, and end up opening plaster in a handful of spots instead of gutting a room.

A lot of what we touch is the Queens housing stock nobody planned the wiring around: two-family houses in Astoria and Woodside, detached homes out in Bayside, finished basements in Forest Hills and Rego Park that got a second panel bolted on sometime in the '80s. The finished basement is where most of the quiet trouble hides. Someone ran a subpanel or a string of outlets without a permit, and it just sat there for thirty years. We pull the brittle knob-and-tube and the fire-prone aluminum, swap tired 60- and 100-amp fuse boxes for 200-amp breaker panels, and put it all on permit so the city signs off. We'd rather stage a rewire around your bedtimes and your work-from-home calls than move you out of the house. That part of the job is one we're proud of.

Our Process

The 5-Step Rewiring Process

1

In-Home Assessment

We inspect your service, panel, and circuits and identify overloaded or unsafe wiring.

2

Detailed Estimate

A transparent, itemized proposal covering materials, labor, and timeline, with no hidden fees.

3

Permit Handling

We pull the municipal permits so your project is fully compliant from day one.

4

Execution

This is the careful part. We work one circuit at a time so the house keeps running while we go, fish new copper through the wall cavities that are already there, and only cut plaster where we genuinely have to, usually a few neat patches, not a torn-open room. You'll still have working lights and outlets through most of every day.

5

Final Inspection

We coordinate the city inspection, walk the system with you, and hand over the sign-off.

Our Forest Hills Tudor still had knob-and-tube in half the house. They replaced it with grounded copper, barely touched the walls, and passed inspection the first time.
Danil K. · June 2026
★★★★★
Needed a Level-2 EV charger in Sunnyside. They did the load calc, added a subpanel, and did it all on permit. Clear pricing, on schedule.

Breakers kept tripping in our Ridgewood apartment. They added dedicated circuits and grounded outlets. Night and day difference and very tidy work.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a full house rewiring cost in Queens?
It depends on home size, the number of circuits, the shape the existing wiring is in, and whether the service and panel need upgrading too. All of it moves the number. As a rough guide, a full rewire on a typical single-family Queens home usually lands roughly $12,000–$25,000, and a two-family or a home that also needs a fresh 200-amp service can run higher. Please treat that as a ballpark, not a quote. We give you the real, itemized number in writing after we walk the home, and we don't start until you've seen it.
How long does a full rewire take?
Most single-family Queens homes take about one to two weeks including permit handling and the final inspection. Panel upgrades and single circuits are much quicker, often a day or two.
Do you handle all necessary NYC DOB permits?
Yes. We pull the required electrical permits, do the work to NYC code, and coordinate the municipal inspection and sign-off. Permitted, inspected work protects your home and your insurance.
Do I have to replace knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring?
Knob-and-tube is ungrounded and brittle and many insurers won't cover a home that still has it. Aluminum branch wiring is a fire risk at its connections. We remediate it with CO/ALR-rated devices and copper pigtails, or fully rewire. We'll tell you honestly which your home needs.
Will you tear open all my walls?
No. We fish new wiring through existing wall and ceiling cavities to keep openings to a minimum, and we patch what we do open. Careful routing is what keeps a rewire from becoming a demolition.
Do I need a 200-amp service?
If you run modern HVAC, a full kitchen, or want an EV charger, an older 100- or 60-amp service is often maxed out. We run a load calculation and recommend a 200-amp upgrade only when your usage calls for it. If the walls are already open for a rewire, or an EV charger is anywhere on your horizon, doing the 200-amp upgrade now is usually cheaper than bringing us back for it later. But if the load calc says you're fine as-is, we'll tell you to keep your money.
