Most of Normandy Park was built in the 1950s and 60s, and homes in the Cove, Manhattan Woods, and elsewhere in the city can still carry original wiring. Depending on when a house was built, that can mean ungrounded two-wire circuits or, in some 1960s homes, solid-aluminum branch circuits. Both carry fire and shock risk as they age, and neither supports the grounded three-prong outlets or GFCI/AFCI protection a modern household expects. Many of these homes also still run on older 100-amp service, which matters when new circuits need somewhere to land.
We rewire whole homes or tackle a partial rewire, such as the kitchen and baths during a remodel or the bedroom branch circuits. New NM cable is routed cleanly back to a modern panel, and the old wiring is abandoned correctly rather than left energized in the walls. If the existing panel is full, ungrounded, or undersized, we'll recommend a 200-amp Square D QO upgrade or a subpanel. Rewiring requires a permit, which we pull through the City of Normandy Park Building Department, with rough and final inspections scheduled.
We start by inspecting the attic, basement, and a few device boxes to confirm what's in your walls, then recommend a full rewire or a phased plan that addresses the highest-risk circuits first. We plan routing to minimize drywall cuts, patch where we can, and walk you through what to expect before work begins. Call (206) 533-6333, Monday through Friday, 8:00 to 4:30.
House Rewiring in Normandy Park: Your Questions
Does my Normandy Park home need a full rewire?
Not necessarily. Many 1950s–60s Normandy Park homes can be rewired in stages, starting with the highest-risk circuits, such as aluminum branch circuits or ungrounded kitchen and bath loads, and phasing the rest. We map what you have and recommend a sequence.
Do you pull permits for rewiring in Normandy Park?
Yes. Rewiring requires an electrical permit and inspection. We pull it through the City of Normandy Park Building Department, schedule rough and final inspections, and make sure the new circuits are grounded and protected to code.
How do I know if my home has aluminum or ungrounded wiring?
Solid-aluminum branch circuits appear in 1960s–70s builds, and ungrounded two-wire circuits are common in homes built before 1960. We inspect the attic, basement, and a few device boxes to confirm what's in your walls and recommend a full or phased rewire.
Will a rewire require a panel upgrade too?
Sometimes. If your panel is full, ungrounded, or undersized for the new circuits, as many original 100-amp panels are, we'll recommend a 200-amp upgrade or a subpanel. Any service work is coordinated with Seattle City Light or Puget Sound Energy (PSE), depending on address.

REAL RESULTS.
"I had an incredible experience getting service done from All City Electric. I wanted to have some outlets fixed as well as install a Level 2 Charger. They were easy to schedule a time for an estimate and also for the service. The electrician came right on time for both appointments and was very respectful and sweet. Every team member was very kind and sweet and accommodating. I would highly recommend them for any future service needs you have!"

"I called All City Electric when my laundry room and living room lights would not turn off. If you tried to turn them off they flicker. Then 5 of my outlets either didn't work or things would fall out of them. I finally got sick of it and reached out explaining my situation. The gal that answered my call was very sweet and kind. Even when I called back the next day saying I forgot to write it down and wanted to confirm my appointment day and time. We had a good laugh. She made my day! Today, Kevin showed up on time and confirmed the problem and got to work right away. He was pleasant and kind during the entire process. He answered all my questions. Thank you to the entire staff and owner of All City Electric!! You will forever have my business. Please call if you have any issues. They are absolutely the best to work with!! Thank you again!!"
