WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BASEMENT ROUGH-IN?
Once the basement layout is planned and the framing is ready, we can begin installing the wiring and electrical boxes that will sit behind your finished walls.
PLAN THE LOCATIONS
We review the basement layout and discuss where outlets, switches, ceiling lights and dedicated circuits are needed.
BEFORE WIRINGINSTALL THE ROUGH-IN
We run the required cables and install electrical boxes for the planned outlets, switches, lighting and equipment.
PRE-DRYWALL WORKROUGH-IN INSPECTION
We coordinate the applicable ESA electrical inspection before the wiring is covered, as required for the project.
BEFORE COVERINGRETURN FOR FINISHING
After the walls and ceilings are finished, we can return to install devices, fixtures and complete the electrical work.
AFTER DRYWALLSend us your basement plans or tell us where you're at in the renovation.
WHAT WE WIRE IN YOUR BASEMENT.
From a family room to a fully finished lower level, we plan the electrical rough-in around how you intend to use each space.
OUTLETS & SWITCHES
Electrical boxes and wiring for receptacles, switches and the everyday power your finished basement will need.
CEILING & POT LIGHTS
Rough-in wiring for your planned ceiling lights, pot lights and lighting controls before the ceiling is closed.
EXPLORE POT LIGHT INSTALLATION ↗DEDICATED CIRCUITS
Where required, we plan separate circuits for equipment or appliances rather than relying on general-purpose outlets.

We review applicable smoke and carbon monoxide alarm requirements as part of the basement electrical layout.
