McKinney General Contractor & Electrician | Brayes Building | Remodeling & Repairs

Absolutely. This is a common issue we see with older wiring meeting new code requirements during additions. As both electricians and general contractors, we handle the entire process. We'll diagnose the specific circuit causing the trip, perform any necessary rewiring to bring it up to current NEC standards, and ensure the new addition's electrical system is properly integrated and safe. This one-team approach prevents coordination issues between separate trades.

Yes, we're uniquely equipped for this exact situation. First, our licensed electricians will conduct a thorough inspection to locate and repair all surge-damaged wiring, panels, and fixtures. Then, as your general contractor, we can seamlessly manage any necessary drywall repair, painting, or appliance replacement that resulted from the electrical damage. We're your single point of contact for both the electrical fix and restoring your home's finishes.

You're right to consider this—it's crucial. From the ground up, Brayes Building manages the entire ADU construction, including all electrical work. We design the system to meet all current McKinney and Collin County codes, including required arc fault protection. We'll assess if your main home's service needs an upgrade to support the ADU, pull all permits, and ensure the new unit has safe, robust, and dedicated electrical service, avoiding future problems.
