Discussion about
Any recommendations for an electrical contractor to totally rewire a one bedroom, one bath 700 sq ft coop in a Brooklyn pre-war building. The basic lighting, outlets, etc. Nothing fancy. Any guesses at a ballpark price total? Thanks.

I am going through this now. It depends on whether the building itself has been updated, partially. I have researched and seen that it can cost anywhere betweeen $6K - $20K depending on your particular situation.

Alanhart can comment better on this than me though.

Hi sjtmd,

I'm not sure if you are still looking for someone-but I just asked the contractor who did some electrical work for us what he would charge. He said approximately $4500 for replacing wiring, new outlets, new switches and simple light fixtures for the entire apartment. He would be able to give you pricing for closing walls, smoothing and painting, once he got to look at the apartment.

I highly recommend him! He is extremely honest and trustworthy! If you would like his info, shoot me an email @ tracy5760.

Good luck!

Tracyc: stop spamming. If you are yourself a contractor, then just post as yourself. This is getting tiresome.
