Respecting older homes while making them safer
Older homes in and around Athens may have original wiring, ungrounded outlets or electrical work layered over decades. Updating them is about safety without unnecessary damage — fishing new circuits through existing cavities, working from attics and crawl spaces, and preserving original trim where possible.
An inspection helps set priorities so the most important fixes come first.
