Whole-Home Rewire

This proposal covers a complete rewire of the residence at {{client_address}} — approximately {{home_sqft}} sq ft with existing {{existing_wiring}} wiring.

Pre-construction

• Walkthrough with {{client_name}} to identify outlet, switch, and fixture locations, including any desired relocations

• Document existing fixtures to be reused vs. replaced

• Pull electrical permit from AHJ

Demolition prep

• Mark drywall cut locations before demo to minimize patching

• Remove existing switch plates, outlet covers, and fixtures as needed

• De-energize house at the service entrance

New wire install

• Install new 200A service if not already upgraded (priced separately if needed — see panel upgrade template)

• Run new 12 AWG and 14 AWG copper NM-B (Romex) or equivalent per NEC

• Install {{circuit_count}} new branch circuits covering lighting, general receptacles, small appliance circuits, bathroom, laundry, HVAC, microwave, dishwasher, disposal, and dedicated circuits per NEC

• AFCI/GFCI protection per current code

• All outlets tamper-resistant per NEC 406.12

• Smoke and CO detectors hardwired and interconnected per code

Drywall and paint

• Drywall patches at all access holes (blue-tape layout first for {{client_name}} approval)

• Texture match to existing

• Primer and paint: one coat primer, two coats color paint on patched areas (no full wall repaint included unless itemized)

Inspection and closeout

• AHJ rough and final inspections

• Panel directory labeling

• Homeowner walkthrough on circuit layout and AFCI/GFCI reset procedure

Estimated duration: 2–4 weeks depending on home size, occupancy, and drywall complexity.

• **Week 1:** Wire pulls and rough-in

• **Week 2:** AHJ rough inspection, drywall patching

• **Week 3:** Texture match, paint, final device install

• **Week 4:** Final inspection, walkthrough, punch

Start date: {{start_date}}. Homeowner may remain in residence with daily power shutdowns; full vacancy is not required but simplifies work.

Total contract price: {{total}}

• **Deposit: {{deposit}}** — signing

• **Rough-in complete: 40%** — wire pulls finished, rough inspection passed

• **Drywall and paint complete: 30%**

• **Final: remainder** — final inspection pass and walkthrough

Draws invoiced same-day at milestone achievement; due within 5 business days. Each draw includes photo documentation.

Invoices are due upon receipt. Payments more than ten (10) calendar days past due accrue a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. {{contractor_name}} reserves the right to stop work and preserve lien rights if any progress payment is not received within five (5) business days of the due date. All retained mechanic's lien, stop notice, and bond rights under applicable state law are preserved.

The following items are specifically NOT included in the contract price and are the responsibility of {{client_name}} unless added by written Change Order:

• Permits, plan-review fees, and jurisdictional inspection fees unless explicitly itemized above

• Repair or remediation of pre-existing code violations discovered during the work

• Asbestos, lead paint, mold, or other hazardous material abatement

• Structural engineering, architectural drawings, or third-party design services

• Finish selections, fixtures, or appliances not listed in the itemized scope

• Work on concealed systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing) beyond the points of connection identified

• Landscaping restoration beyond returning disturbed areas to rough grade

• Post-completion cleaning beyond construction broom-clean

• Panel upgrade (typically bundled; priced separately if not included)

• Removal of knob-and-tube wiring from walls (dead-wire left in place unless explicitly requested)

• Asbestos abatement (required in pre-1980 homes if insulation contains asbestos)

• Repair of lath-and-plaster walls beyond standard drywall patch (priced separately for plaster-specific repair)

• Low-voltage systems (data, coax, security, A/V) unless itemized

• Exterior lighting or landscape lighting

• Repainting of full walls beyond patch-and-blend areas

This proposal is based on the following assumptions. If any assumption is incorrect, the contract price and schedule are subject to adjustment by Change Order:

• Site access is available during normal working hours (7am–5pm, Monday–Saturday)

• Adequate parking is available within 100 feet of the work area

• Electrical power and potable water are available on-site at no cost to contractor

• Existing structural elements, waste lines, water supply, and electrical service are in serviceable condition unless noted

• {{client_name}} will remove personal property, artwork, and valuables from the work area prior to start

• Work is based on a single mobilization; re-mobilization required due to delays outside contractor's control will be billed at current rates

• Attic, basement, or crawlspace provides wire routing access

• {{client_name}} is flexible on daily power shutdowns (typically 1–2 hours per day during rough-in)

• Existing stud bays are free of spray foam insulation that would prevent wire pulls

Any modification to the scope, specifications, materials, or schedule set forth in this agreement must be authorized in writing as a Change Order signed by both parties before the work is performed. Each Change Order will describe the modified scope, any adjustment to the contract price, and any impact on the schedule. Verbal instructions do not modify this agreement. Additional time and cost associated with unforeseen conditions — including but not limited to concealed rot, asbestos, mold, faulty prior installation, unmarked utilities, or code-required upgrades triggered by the work — will be documented as a Change Order and billed at the rates stated in this proposal or at {{contractor_name}}'s then-current published labor rates, whichever is in effect at the time the condition is discovered.

{{contractor_name}} warrants the workmanship of the installed work for a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment pass through to {{client_name}} as provided by the manufacturer and are the exclusive source of any material warranty. This warranty does not cover normal wear, abuse, neglect, acts of God, subsequent work performed by others, damage from settlement or movement of the building, or modifications to the installed work performed without written consent. To make a warranty claim, {{client_name}} must notify {{contractor_name}} in writing within thirty (30) days of discovering the alleged defect and allow reasonable access to inspect and repair.

This proposal is valid for 30 days from the proposal date ({{proposal_date}}). Pricing is subject to change after that date due to material market fluctuations and scheduling availability. Acceptance requires signature below and receipt of the deposit amount stated in Payment Terms. Upon acceptance, this proposal, together with any attached specifications and subsequent written Change Orders, constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written discussions.
