We can meet you and your contractor for a same-day planning walk-through.

Kitchen remodels
Kitchen Remodel Electrical Done Right
The kitchen has more circuits than any other room. Getting them right is the key to a remodel that works.
What today's code expects
New Jersey enforces the 2020 National Electrical Code. For a remodeled kitchen, that typically means:
- At least two 20 amp small-appliance circuits for countertop outlets
- Countertop outlets spaced so no point along the counter is far from one
- Outlets for islands and peninsulas
- GFCI protection on countertop and sink-area outlets
- Separate dedicated circuits for the range, dishwasher, disposal, microwave and fridge
Where planning pays off
- Under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting wired before cabinets go in
- Pendants centered over the island, not just over where the old light was
- Outlets inside a pantry or appliance garage for small appliances
- An LED recessed lighting layout planned with your cabinet plan
- Enough capacity for an induction range or double oven
Finished basements
Basement Finishing Electrical in Marlboro Homes
Basements need extra planning for moisture, low ceilings and panel access.
Finishing the basement is one of the most popular projects in Marlboro. Basements are also where we find the most unsafe, unpermitted wiring. We plan the electrical so the space is safe, bright and ready for how you'll use it.
- Bright, low-profile lighting that fits under ducts and beams
- GFCI protection for basement outlets under current code
- AFCI protection for new finished rooms
- Smoke and CO alarms tied into your existing system. See smoke and CO detectors
- Clear working space kept in front of the electrical panel, never boxed in or hidden behind a wall
- Circuits for a home theater, bar, gym or office
Keep your sump pump on its own circuit, and think about a generator hookup while walls are open.
Bathroom remodels
Bathroom Remodel Electrical
Small room, strict rules. Water makes bathroom wiring a job for a pro.
Exhaust fans
Quiet fans vented outside, often on a humidity switch. See fan installation.
Vanity and shower lighting
Bright vanity lights and wet-rated lights over the tub or shower.
Heated floors and towel warmers
Dedicated, GFCI-protected circuits for radiant floor heat and warmers.
Additions and big projects
Home Additions and Major Renovations
Bigger spaces mean bigger loads. We plan the whole system, not just the new rooms.
An addition, sunroom or second story adds a lot of new load. Before we wire it, we do a full load calculation on your home.
- A subpanel to feed the new space, if your main panel has room
- An electrical panel upgrade if the house needs more capacity
- Heating and cooling circuits for mini-splits or new HVAC
- Future-ready circuits for an EV charger or standby generator
Opening old walls? It's the right time to replace worn wire. See whole house rewiring.
How it fits your project
When the Electrician Comes In During a Remodel
Electrical work happens in two visits with inspections in between. Here's the usual order.
Planning walk-through
We meet you and your contractor to plan outlets, lighting, switches and circuits.
Permit
We file the electrical permit with the Marlboro Construction Division.
Rough-in
After framing, we run wire and set boxes before insulation and drywall.
Rough-in inspection
The township inspector checks our work while walls are still open.
Trim-out and final
After drywall and paint, we install devices and fixtures, test everything and pass final inspection.
We work well with general contractors and kitchen and bath companies, and we're happy to work directly with homeowners managing their own project.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I call an electrician during a remodel?
Before demolition, if possible. Planning outlets, lighting and circuits early avoids changes once walls are closed.
Do I need a permit for basement finishing electrical in Marlboro?
Yes. Finished basements need electrical permits with rough-in and final inspections.
How many circuits does a kitchen need?
It depends on your appliances. At minimum, two 20 amp small-appliance circuits plus dedicated circuits for major appliances like the range, dishwasher and microwave.
Can my electrical panel be inside a finished wall?
The panel must stay accessible with clear working space in front of it. It can't be blocked or hidden behind drywall.
Do you work with general contractors?
Yes. We coordinate schedules with your contractor and meet inspectors on time.
Will I need a panel upgrade for my remodel?
Not always. A load calculation tells us whether your panel can handle the new circuits.
