Electrical in Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA
Electrical systems are essential to the comfort, safety, and functionality of any structure. At C.J. Skeeles General Contractor, we provide electrical services in Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA that are fully integrated with our remodeling and new construction work. Whether you’re upgrading a single room or rewiring an entire home, our electrical installations are built around current code requirements, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability.
We focus on project-based electrical services—especially for homeowners updating layouts, adding new spaces, or modernizing outdated systems. Our team works closely with electricians to ensure each circuit, outlet, and fixture aligns with the structural and design plans from the start.
Whole-Home Rewiring for Safety and Efficiency
Many homes in Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA still rely on older wiring systems that no longer meet current safety codes or energy demands. During remodels or major renovations, rewiring becomes a necessary step—not just to update the look of the home, but to ensure the electrical infrastructure can safely handle modern appliances and devices.
We rewire homes with careful attention to:
– Proper circuit distribution to avoid overloads
– Grounding and bonding for protection
– Code-compliant spacing of outlets and switches
Rewiring is often performed alongside other trades, such as framing and insulation, to reduce disruption and ensure all systems are installed in the correct sequence. The result is a safer, more efficient electrical system that supports everything from home offices to kitchen appliances.
Lighting Installation for Interior and Exterior Spaces
Lighting plays a major role in the usability and atmosphere of a space. We install new lighting systems as part of kitchen and bathroom remodels, room additions, and full new construction projects. Whether you're aiming for ambient overhead light, task-specific lighting, or integrated smart controls, our team ensures the layout and wiring support the functionality of the space.
Interior lighting services typically include recessed lighting, pendant fixtures, and under-cabinet illumination. For exteriors, we install wall-mounted lights, motion-activated floodlights, and landscape lighting designed for safety and curb appeal. We also handle dimmer switch installations and fixture replacements as part of larger projects.
All lighting is installed to match layout plans, finish preferences, and energy-efficiency goals.
Outlet and Switch Placement with Usability in Mind
Adding or relocating outlets and switches is a common part of any renovation. As room layouts change, so must the access to power. We plan outlet placement based on furniture arrangement, appliance locations, and code requirements.
In kitchens and bathrooms, GFCI outlets are installed in all wet areas to ensure safety. In living rooms and bedrooms, we provide convenient placement for electronics, lamps, and charging stations. New outlets are wired to appropriate circuits with the correct amperage and breaker ratings to prevent overloads.
Switches are placed with traffic flow and daily routines in mind—especially in hallways, entryways, and multi-door rooms. We also install 3-way switches, dimmers, and smart switches when part of the design plan.
