Licensed electrical work built into your remodel by a family owned contractor serving Austin and Central Texas.
Most remodels touch the electrical in some way. A new kitchen needs circuits for appliances and lighting. A bathroom needs proper outlets and ventilation. Opening up a wall means moving what runs through it. Add it all up and the wiring behind your walls is doing more work than it was built for, especially in older Austin homes.
Cornerstone is a family owned remodeling company in Austin, and we handle the electrical side of your project with licensed professionals as part of the job. Rather than leaving you to line up a separate electrician and coordinate schedules, we fold it into the remodel so one team owns the whole result.
This page covers electrical work as part of a larger remodel. If your kitchen, bathroom, addition, or whole home project needs wiring, lighting, outlets, or a panel that can actually handle the load, that is what we are talking about here.
Our remodels include the electrical scope needed to do the job properly and to code. Depending on your project, that can include:
Dedicated appliance circuits, under cabinet and recessed lighting, added outlets along counters, and the GFCI protection code requires. A kitchen remodel almost always involves electrical work, and we build it into the plan.
GFCI outlets, vanity and shower lighting, exhaust fan wiring and ventilation, and heated floor connections. Part of nearly every bathroom remodel we do.
Recessed lighting, pendants, under cabinet lighting, dimmers, and fixture installation throughout the rooms we are remodeling. Good lighting changes how a finished space feels as much as anything else.
Adding outlets where a room was short on them, relocating them during a layout change, and updating switches, including smart and dimmer controls.
When we open up a wall, remove one, or add a room as part of an addition or whole home remodel, the wiring in that area gets rerouted and updated as needed.
When your remodel adds load your existing panel cannot support, upgrading capacity or adding circuits during the project is far more efficient than a separate job later. If you are also planning an EV charger or other big addition down the line, doing the groundwork now saves money.
Bringing the electrical in the remodeled area up to current code, including GFCI and AFCI protection where required, so it passes inspection and keeps your family safe.
Most electrical work in Austin requires a permit, and the work has to pass a city inspection. We coordinate the permitting and inspections as part of your project so it is handled correctly and documented.
A lot of Austin housing stock was wired for a very different era, and it shows up the moment you start a remodel.
The best time to address any of this is during a remodel, when the walls are already open and the access is free. Doing it later, after everything is closed up and finished, costs far more.

Homeowners sometimes ask whether they can save money by handling the electrical separately or later. Usually the opposite is true, and here is why.
Electrical is one line in a larger remodel budget, and what it adds depends on the project. The main factors:
Because it is part of a larger project, we scope the electrical alongside everything else and give you a clear breakdown before work begins. The efficiency of doing it during the remodel, while walls are open and one crew is already on site, is exactly why it costs less this way than as a separate job.

Our electrical work is done as part of the remodeling projects we take on, such as kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and whole home renovations. Folding it into the larger project is what lets us manage it under one team and one schedule.
Yes. Electrical work in Texas is regulated by the state and requires proper licensing, and ours is handled by licensed professionals. It is done to code and passes City of Austin inspection.
Most electrical work in Austin requires a permit, including new circuits, panel changes, and the kind of work involved in a remodel. Minor repairs like swapping a single outlet often do not. We handle the permitting and inspections as part of your project.
Often, at least in the area being remodeled. Many older Austin homes have undersized panels, too few outlets, missing GFCI protection, or aging wiring that no longer meets current code. A remodel is the ideal time to address it, since the walls are already open.
It depends on how much load your remodel adds. A kitchen full of new appliances, added circuits, or future plans like an EV charger can push an older panel past its capacity. We assess this during the walkthrough and tell you whether an upgrade makes sense to include.
Yes, and it is the smart time to do it. Running a dedicated circuit while the panel is already being worked on and walls are open costs far less than adding it as a separate project later. If you know something is coming, we can rough it in now.
You can, but coordinating a separate electrician around a remodel schedule is where projects tend to stall, and it leaves gaps between trades where problems hide. Keeping the electrical under one team means it gets sequenced correctly and there is one point of accountability.
We do. Every estimate is free with no obligation, and if we do not need to visit first, you can often expect one within 24 hours.
Yes. Cornerstone Home Renovations is licensed and insured, so your project is done right and protected.
