I live in Worcester and work from Schoharie to Oneonta and Cooperstown to Stamford (or thereabouts). We do old house remodeling, exterior painting/restoration and everything in between.

"Painting exterior! Entire church with repairs to special wood designs on the Ginger Bread construction structure. Kalindi House LLC, have truly transformed the white Church into this beautiful, inviting piece of art. Kalindi is the artist who looked at our stained glass windows and colors on the pipe organ, then presented these paint colors to our church members with her drawings. Kalindi took the time after beginning one side, to also meet and adjust some colors for a better contrast which highlights all the construction design characteristics built into the panels, displaying the people in the steeple, windows and doors. The pictures are absolutely amazing, but to see it in person is majestic. Ed has been wonderful repairing and replacing all the rotted wood specialty designs on the reliefs and eves. Their attention to detail and meticulous work ethics are very rare to find. We are very blessed to have kalindi & Ed, who have been so caring, understanding and patient with us."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Schenectady, NY

Electrical wiring can last between 50 and 70 years if properly installed and maintained. However, factors like moisture damage and overloading outlets can shorten this lifespan. To extend your wiring's life, unplug electronics when not in use, avoid overloading outlets, and schedule regular electrical inspections every five to ten years.

If your house was built in the 1960s and hasn't been rewired, it likely needs it. Older homes may have outdated wiring like knob-and-tube, which poses fire risks due to flammable insulation. Rewiring ensures safety and may also require updating your circuit panel, outlets, switches, and fixtures. Contact a local electrician to help with your rewiring needs.

Yes, rewiring your house is worth it, especially if your wiring is outdated. It improves safety by reducing fire risks and can increase your property's value. However, you may not need a full rewire. A home inspector can tell you if a partial rewire will bring your home up to code.

Yes, you can sometimes rewire a house without removing walls. Electricians might access wiring through attics, basements, or crawl spaces, or make small holes to run new wires. However, this isn't always possible, and in some cases, removing sections of walls is necessary to ensure the wiring is installed safely and meets code.

A house should typically be rewired every 25 years to maintain safety. Over time, wiring deteriorates, increasing fire risks. Regular electrical inspections every five to ten years help assess the need for rewiring. Staying proactive with maintenance ensures a safe, efficient electrical system and prevents potential hazards before they become serious issues.
