How much does house rewiring cost per square foot?

House rewiring cost per square foot is not a single fixed rate and is only confirmed after an on-site assessment. The largest cost driver is system complexity and code-required upgrades tied to safety and panel capacity. Square footage helps estimate wire runs, but access, existing wiring type, and finish protection often matter more than size alone. In lived-in homes, protecting finishes and working around furniture can add labor even if the home is modest in size. Our team regularly completes full rewires across the Denver metro, including Lone Tree projects, so we account for current regional code updates in bids.

Key factors that change per‑sq‑ft pricing:

  • Panel upgrade or service increase needed to support added circuits
  • Access conditions: attic/crawlspace, plaster vs. drywall, and open walls vs. finished
  • Legacy wiring type (knob‑and‑tube or aluminum) and GFCI/AFCI requirements
  • Permit fees, inspections, and patch/paint restoration scope

Get a written scope with panel, permit, and code upgrades itemized before comparing estimates.
