Renovation wiring across East York — Leaside rebuilds, period-home kitchens and basement underpinning, planned around what the walls reveal.
East York’s 1930s and 40s houses are solid, well proportioned and almost always due for new wiring by the time they are renovated. Renovating here means planning for what the walls will reveal — and making the most of the one moment the whole house is open.
Kitchens, bathrooms and full rebuilds in period homes.
Panel and service relocation planned with the dig.
Original circuits replaced while the walls are already open.
Period rooms lit with intent, not gridded.
Three things to plan for before the work starts.

East York basements are often low. Underpinning is common, and it almost always means moving the panel and service entrance — with a Toronto Hydro disconnect booked in advance.
When a period house is open for a renovation, replacing the remaining original circuits costs a fraction of what it will once the plaster is finished.
What the house has, and the likely surprises.
Load, panel location and any utility work scheduled.

If the house still has original circuits, it is usually the right time. Open walls make rewiring far cheaper than it will be later.
Usually. We plan the relocation and book the Toronto Hydro disconnect in advance so it does not hold up the excavation.
