A large share of Cape Coral homes were built during the 1960s and 1970s building boom — and many of them were wired with aluminum branch circuits. Aluminum expands, contracts, and oxidizes more than copper, which causes connections at outlets, switches, and the panel to loosen and overheat over time. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has linked it to a significantly higher risk of connection fires.
For homeowners, the immediate pain is usually insurance: carriers in Florida increasingly refuse to write or renew a policy on a home with untreated aluminum wiring, and a 4-point inspection will flag it. The good news — you usually don't need a full rewire to get insured.
Beyond aluminum, we handle complete and partial rewires for homes with knob-and-tube remnants, ungrounded two-prong outlets, undersized circuits, DIY wiring gone wrong, and water- or rodent-damaged cabling. Rewiring is also the right time to add dedicated circuits, GFCI/AFCI protection, and modern outlet placement.
| Project | Typical Range* |
|---|---|
| Aluminum remediation (per home) | $1,500 – $4,500 |
| Outlet/switch pigtailing (each) | $25 – $50 |
| Partial rewire (rooms/circuits) | $2,000 – $6,000 |
| Whole-home rewire | $8,000 – $20,000+ |
