Question Answers

My insurance company flagged my home's knob and tube wiring. What does your process involve?

We start with a detailed assessment to create your "Insurability Blueprint," tailored to San Francisco's historic codes and current underwriting guidelines. Our certified electricians then manage the full replacement, handling all permits and required city inspections. We also coordinate directly with your insurance broker and their inspectors to ensure the work meets their specific requirements for coverage reinstatement, providing a complete, managed solution.

I'm concerned about my old electrical panel and smart home devices. Can you help?

Absolutely. Our services include electric panel installation and repair, which is often a necessary upgrade when replacing knob and tube wiring. A modern, properly sized panel provides the stable, sufficient power required for today's homes, including smart home systems. This upgrade helps prevent malfunctions and overheating issues, bringing your entire electrical system up to a safe, contemporary standard.

As a San Francisco homeowner, what specific local challenges do you handle?

We specialize in the unique challenges of San Francisco's older homes. This includes expertly navigating historic building elements like lath and plaster walls and wainscoting during repairs, and understanding when historic code takes precedence. We also manage the precise permit scoping needed to satisfy both city inspectors and insurance underwriters efficiently, preventing delays that could jeopardize your coverage.

Meet the Team

Knob and Tube Replacement in San Francisco was founded in 2023 by a developer with deep experience in real estate finance and construction. The business was born from a direct, local need: the founder's wife, a San Francisco realtor, saw multiple home sales collapse because insurers refused to cover properties with outdated knob and tube wiring. Leveraging a background in developing over 400 apartments and financing thousands more, the founder applied their expertise in permits, project management, and building codes to solve this specific San Francisco problem. The company's mission is to use this specialized construction and regulatory knowledge to help homeowners navigate the complex intersection of historic preservation, current electrical codes, and stringent insurance requirements, ensuring their older homes are safe, compliant, and insurable.
