San Antonio Electrician DIY

[Michael McCartney]

I have a rental property and the electrical works fine but is very old. I believe the house needs to be rewired but the price for an entire house rewire is very expensive. I was wondering if anyone knew an electrician that would work with me to get the job done. I am small and young and can do all the difficult stuff like running wires through walls and all the other physically demanding and time consuming tasks that comes with the house rewire. What I am looking for is an electrician to help me and charge me for

1. Set up a plan and diagram

2. Tell me the best way to do it and allows me to do most of the work.

3. Inspect my work and make sure everything is up to code

4. Minimal help on certain areas here and there.

There will not be a tenant in the property at the time of the rewire and I am aware of the drywall patching that will need to take place after. All appropriate permits will be pulled and electricity will be cut while I am working. A few of the electricians I have used in the past are usually pretty busy. Ideally I would like to have a semi retired electrician that does jobs here and there. Any input or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

It will be next to impossible for you to find anyone that will do this.  You are looking for a licensed electrician that will supervise and direct your pulling of wires and then get all the appropiate permits and sign off on the job.  Unless you have an "uncle" in the bussiness it will be a miricle to find someone who will agree to do this.  How mch will an electrician charge for th entire job if they do it completly?  How much will they charge for just the hook ups and supervision?   Please keep us posted on this journey.
