How much does it cost to rewire a house per square foot?

The cost to rewire a house per square foot varies by home and is only confirmed after an on-site evaluation. Pricing depends on the layout, the condition of existing wiring, and the scope of required code upgrades. In many older houses, once a clear pathway is opened, labor per foot drops, while tight cavities or finished surfaces increase time. Our licensed, in-house electricians complete full rewires across the Denver metro, including projects in Thornton. Transparent pricing, free estimates, and financing are available for larger projects, and we can advise when a targeted circuit repair is enough versus a whole-home rewire.

Key factors that change per‑sq‑ft pricing:

• Service or panel capacity needs, including full panel replacement
• Required GFCI/AFCI protection and whole‑home surge protection
• Plaster-and-lath or historical finishes that require careful patching
• Occupied vs vacant work and access via attic or crawlspace

Ask for a written, room-by-room scope with panel and safety upgrades listed before you approve any quote.
