Fire-Damaged Room Rewiring in Charlotte, NC
When a room fire damages wiring, the safest path forward is a complete, code-compliant rebuild of the affected electrical. Our Charlotte branch, based out of Matthews, restored a fire-affected room for homeowner Teresa Coker with careful rewiring, new device boxes, and fresh devices and fixtures. Completed on October 29, 2024, this project brings the space back to reliable everyday use while aligning with current safety standards.

Safety-First, Code-Compliant Repairs
After fire damage, heat and smoke can compromise copper conductors, insulation, and connections far beyond the visible charring. Our team removed damaged components and rebuilt the branch circuit with new wiring, device boxes, and terminations. The result is a clean, verified installation that supports safe operation and future inspections.
Scope of Work Completed
- Full room rewiring: Replaced all fire-affected wiring and device boxes to restore safe operation.
- 150 ft NM-B 14/2 cable: Installed new 14/2 Romex for 15-amp lighting and general-purpose receptacle circuits, with appropriate junction boxes as needed.
- 8 standard receptacles installed: Fresh outlets with new covers for everyday power needs.
- 2 standard switches installed: New controls for lighting/fixtures, set up for dependable switching.
- 2 customer-supplied fixtures installed: Simple ceiling-mounted fixtures installed on properly secured boxes.
- Box replacements: New electrical boxes positioned and supported for secure device and fixture mounting.
Every termination was made with proper stripping, torque, and device support per current best practices. The repaired room is now ready for normal use with modern, dependable wiring and devices.
