Electrical for Capital Region New Construction and Major Renovation

McCauley Electrical handles electrical work for new construction projects throughout the Capital Region. Whether you're a builder looking for a reliable electrical sub, a homeowner building a custom home, or managing a major renovation that requires full electrical design, we work from rough-in through final inspection.

Our team has been doing new construction electrical in the Capital Region for over two decades. We know the inspection expectations of every local municipality and we work to the schedule builders actually need.

Major Renovation Electrical

Renovation electrical is a different scope from new construction. You're working in an existing structure with existing wiring, often in unexpected conditions. We handle:

Kitchen Remodels

Typical loads have grown substantially; existing wiring often needs upgrade.

Bathroom Remodels

GFCI code updates, fan circuits, lighting.

Basement Finishes

New circuits, egress lighting, smoke detectors.

Addition Electrical

Tie-in to existing service, panel upgrade if needed.

Whole-House Renovations

Effectively new construction within existing walls.

Renovation work often surfaces existing electrical problems. We flag them and quote separately so you decide what's in scope.
