Need to re-wire 6 family brownstone in park slope
I own a 6 family brownstone in park slope. each apartment is a 1 bedroom around 600 sq feet. currently each apartment has 15 amps in total and I would like to raise that limit to 60 amps. I would like to know how much a job like this would cost and if anyone can…

I would like to know how much a job like this would cost and if anyone can recommend someone. thanks in advance.
When I needed an electrician, I called the expert Houston Electrician. They were quick to respond to my call, were efficient and have great prices, check them out at http://www.experthoustonelectrician.com
do you still have christopher john’s number?
remember that you get what you pay for! i hired a friend of a friend who is a licensed electrician to rewire my two-family limestone brick townhouse in bushwick (3 BR over 2 BR, approx 1,100 sq ft each).
he quoted me $3,500 per floor and said it would take about a week and a half. three and a half weeks later (2 weeks of which i was left with a single working outlet) they weren’t even halfway done.
they did a shoddy job, avoided cutting into brick and installed too few outlets according to code, while using the less expensive vinyl-coated cable.
being in a time crunch because i had tenants moving into the second floor apartment, i hired the first guys i had called for an estimate to finish the job: Christopher John Electrical. these guys were prompt, offered payment plans, and were a pleasure to deal with. (I dealt with Leon.) they knew their stuff and worked fast: 4 days, start to finish. (they had no problem cutting into brick where warranted and used metal-encased BX cable.)
the trade-off, of course, was that the second floor apartment cost around $10,000 to rewire. but i have no complaints whatsoever, and given the chance to do it all over again, i wouldn’t hesitate to call Christopher John.
good luck to you!
I got an estimate for 26,500 from Wright Management at 347-789-6550.
I emailed workhard72 when his email was posted and he only called me yesterday. he’s on vacation and will be back in 2 weeks. ill have him give me an estimate for the work as well. 3 more estimates and I will pick a contractor.
6:51 – 20k for a five family house seems like a great price. to bad the guy never called you back. I got one estimate for 6k per apartment…but feel its way overpriced.
I will post the electrician I will go with when I find him.
You might try Ron D. at 347-789-6550, he is excellent! Very reasonable and extremely professional.
Good Luck
Hi,
We are looking to do the same upgrade from 15 amps in a five family house. It’s hard to come by a good electrician. We got one estimate that was close to 20K, but then the guy never called back with a detailed proposal. We’re still looking around. Let me know if you find someone!
i used mike at M&N hightech, they wired our four story townhouse, explained all options on the estimate, were in the alooted time frame and always returned my calls.
worth talking to at least, and getting an estimate.
mike can be reached at 646 226 4575
good luck, jenny
try David Gabriel, he’s the best and his rates are very reasonable. he did my place in Clinton Hill. his email is workhard72@hotmail.com
