200 amp panel upgrade on a renovation job

renovations put a serious demand on a home's electrical system. New circuits, new appliances, new everything - and if your panel can't keep up, the whole job hits a wall. That's exactly the situation we were working with here.

We came in mid-renovation and handled a full 200 amp panel upgrade from start to finish. The before shots tell the whole story - loose wires running in every direction, nothing landed yet, a blank panel just waiting to be built out. That stage of a renovation can look chaotic, and honestly, it is. Our job is to bring order to it.

Every circuit got landed cleanly and labeled - room by room, circuit by circuit. That matters more than people realize. When the next trade comes in, or when the homeowner eventually needs to find a breaker, a well-organized panel saves real time and avoids real headaches. It's one of those things that's easy to overlook but impossible to ignore when it's done wrong.

A 200 amp upgrade gives the home the capacity it needs to handle modern loads - think EV chargers, updated kitchen appliances, dedicated circuits for home offices, all of it. Going through a renovation is actually the ideal time to handle this because the walls are already open and the work can be done without tearing anything back apart later.

Panel work done right sets the foundation for everything else. We take that seriously on every job, whether it's a full gut renovation or a straightforward panel replacement.
