Plumbing & Electrical for Remodels in St. Charles & the Fox Valley
Rough-in, fixtures, wiring and the line moves a remodel actually requires.
The plumbing and electrical work we do in St. Charles and Aurora is remodel-driven. It is not a service call for a clogged drain. It is the rough-in behind a kitchen you are rearranging, the circuits a new range and microwave need, the supply and waste lines that have to move because the sink is going out to the island. It happens with the walls open and it happens on our schedule, not on a separate dispatch queue.
On the plumbing side: relocating supply lines, cutting in new drains and vents with the right pitch, setting tubs and shower valves, running a line out to a refrigerator or a pot filler, and swapping old galvanized pipe wherever we find it inside a wall we have already opened. Getting a drain to pitch correctly is the constraint that decides what a layout can do, so we look under the floor first.
On the electrical side: dedicated circuits for appliances, GFCI and AFCI protection where current rules call for it, recessed cans laid out so the light lands on the counter instead of on your back, under-cabinet runs, switch legs that match how you walk into a room, and panel capacity checked before we start adding load. Older Fox Valley houses run out of breaker space faster than anyone expects.

Why this is better done with your remodeler
One crew, open walls
Framing, plumbing and wiring all happen in the same window, by people already on site. No waiting on a separate trade to fit you into a dispatch schedule.
Changes made while cheap
Moving a drain or adding a circuit is inexpensive before drywall and expensive afterward. We raise the options at rough-in, while they still cost almost nothing.
Lighting laid out first
We plan cans and switches against the actual cabinet and furniture layout, so light lands on the work surfaces and the switch sits where your hand already goes.
We check the panel
Before adding load we look at what the panel can carry and what is already on it. Finding out you are out of space after the cabinets are in is avoidable.

Questions
Plumbing & Electrical questions
Ask us anything that is not covered here — call, text or send the form.
Do you do plumbing and electrical outside of a remodel?
Our plumbing and electrical work goes with construction scope: remodels, additions and rebuilds. If you have a running toilet or one dead outlet on its own, a service company will be faster and cheaper for you. If it is part of a project we are building, then it is ours to handle.
Can you add recessed lighting to an existing ceiling?
Usually, yes. Remodel cans go in from below through a cut hole, and we fish the runs through the joist bays. Where there is a finished room above, or blocking in the way, it gets harder and sometimes means opening drywall. An attic or basement above the ceiling makes it simple.
What if you find old wiring in the walls?
We show you. Knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated conductors and ungrounded two-wire circuits all turn up in older houses around here. Whatever sits inside a wall we have opened gets replaced as part of the work. Anything outside the scope, you get told about so you can decide.
