B-squaredParticipantI will be doing a kitchen remodel this year and am going to also get the house re-wired before or concurrently. Really small war box house with mostly knob and tube wiring. I really want to find someone who will do a clean job with no damage to my lathe and plaster walls (or who can patch them back up fabulously). Any suggestions?

anonymeParticipantNeither is West Seattle, but I have a rant and a rave.
The rant would be against Greenlake Electric, and yes, per WSB rules, I tried everything possible to resolve the issues with them – to no avail. The damage they did to my house was extreme, in addition to a long list of other problems.
I had Kemly install a new heating system a few years back. They were professional, fast, and absolutely immaculate. When they left there was no evidence that any work had been done. I also have an old house with ‘complex’ wall materials. Not cheap, but highly recommended.

BostonmanMemberBefore I went to college I was an electrician. Generally if you have complex wall materials (other than sheet rock) there is usually a premium charge for that because of the time and complexity. Remember, most electricians are not drywall or carpentry experts. In fact in trade school it was a completely seperate major.

dhgParticipantMr. Sparky: http://www.mistersparkyofseattle.com/
246-7123. They are very experienced with replacing knob and tube as they’ve been doing it for years. Highly recommended.

sjrossParticipantNot sure if this is coming too late, Mark Kessler from Mark Electric Inc. just redid all the knob-and-tube wiring in our house. Not only did he and Tony do a fabulous job, but they did it for a LOT less than another, highly recommended electrician on these forums. Phone # is (206-409-7046). Highly recommend!
