Featured topic: Remodel decisions
Lighting, outlets and controls in a remodel
A remodel is the easiest time to put outlets, lights and switches where they will actually be used. Once walls and ceilings are finished, changes become more involved.
Furniture placement, built-ins and how the room will be used all affect where outlets and switches belong. Lighting and controls — dimmers, switches at each entrance, lights on separate switches — are easier to plan while the walls are open.

Service details
Questions to answer before walls close
- Where will furniture, desks, televisions and built-ins go? Outlets should follow the layout.
- Which lights should be on separate switches, and which should be dimmable?
- Are there places where you plug things in today using extension cords? Those are good spots for new outlets.
Requesting an estimate
A simple description of your project is enough to start. Photos and plans are helpful if available — the estimate form accepts optional JPG, PNG and PDF attachments.
If you have them, these can help:
- The remodel plan or a sketch of the new layout.
- Photos of the space as it is now.
Questions
Common questions
- When should I involve an electrician in a remodel?
- As early as possible. It is easier to adjust outlet, lighting and switch locations while plans are being developed than after walls are closed.
- Can old outlets and switches be moved during a remodel?
- That is generally easier while walls are open. The details depend on the existing wiring and the new layout.
