The Electrical Side of a Remodel Is Not an Afterthought

Electrical work is one of the first things that needs to be planned and one of the last things that gets finished in a remodel. Getting it right means thinking ahead about outlet placement, circuit capacity, lighting layout, and code requirements before the walls are closed. Changes made after drywall is up cost significantly more than changes made during the rough-in phase. Five Star works with Palatine homeowners at the planning stage of a remodel so the electrical design supports how the space will actually be used, not just what was there before.

Kitchen Remodels

Kitchens place some of the highest electrical demands of any room in the home. Modern kitchen remodels typically require dedicated circuits for the refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and garbage disposal, plus GFCI-protected countertop circuits, under-cabinet lighting, and often a circuit for a range hood or cooktop. If the existing panel can’t support the added load, a panel upgrade may be part of the project scope. Five Star handles the full electrical scope of kitchen remodels, from rough-in wiring through fixture installation and final inspection, coordinating with your contractor or general timeline as needed.

Bathroom Remodels

Bathroom electrical work involves GFCI protection at every outlet, proper ventilation fan wiring, lighting that meets the requirements for wet and damp locations, and in some cases heated floor systems or dedicated circuits for whirlpool tubs. Five Star handles the electrical scope of bathroom remodels of every size, from a simple fixture and outlet update to a full primary bathroom renovation with custom lighting and heated floors.

Additions and Finished Spaces

Home additions and finished basements require new circuits run from the panel, proper outlet and lighting placement to meet code, and in some cases a panel upgrade to accommodate the added load. Five Star assesses the existing panel capacity at the start of every addition project and includes any required upgrades in the project scope so there are no surprises midway through construction. We also handle finished basement electrical work, including egress lighting, outlet placement, and any dedicated circuits needed for home theater, home office, or wet bar installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

When in the remodeling process should I bring in an electrician?

As early as possible. Ideally, a licensed electrician should be involved in the planning stage before any walls are opened so outlet placement, circuit capacity, and lighting layout can be designed into the project from the start. Electrical changes made during rough-in are far less expensive than corrections made after drywall is up. If your remodel is already underway, it’s still worth getting an electrician involved before the walls are closed.

Do I need a permit for electrical work during a remodel?

Yes. Any electrical work that involves new wiring, added circuits, or modifications to the existing electrical system requires a permit and must pass inspection before walls are closed. Five Star manages the permitting process and schedules inspections as part of every remodeling project. Unpermitted electrical work creates liability, can void homeowner’s insurance coverage, and causes complications during a home sale.

Will my existing panel support the added electrical load from a remodel?

It depends on the current capacity of the panel and what the remodel adds. Kitchen and addition projects in particular can add significant electrical load. Five Star assesses the panel during the initial consultation and includes any required upgrades in the project scope upfront so you have a complete picture of the electrical cost before construction begins.
