Outlet and Switch Replacement with Fixture Reinstalls in Weddington, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch (based in Matthews) completed a comprehensive electrical upgrade for RHODES BUILDERS in Weddington. Led by technician Will Cruz, this project focused on bringing existing wiring and devices up to code, replacing water-damaged outlets and switches, safely reinstalling light fixtures, securing permits, and performing an end‑to‑end electrical cleanup. Completion date: April 25, 2025.

Project Goals and What We Delivered

Our team inspected the home’s electrical system with an emphasis on safety, reliability, and code compliance. Following the assessment, we carried out a full redevice and fixture service so the property would be ready for a clean final inspection and long-term, trouble-free operation.

Code and safety inspection: Verified devices and wiring against current NEC best practices and local requirements.
Replace all damaged devices: Removed switches and outlets that had water intrusion and replaced them with new components.
Whole-home redevice: Upgraded standard receptacles to tamper-resistant where applicable and refreshed switches and cover plates across approximately 2,200 sq ft.
Fixture reinstalls: Removed and reinstalled 14 customer-supplied ceiling and light fixtures on existing boxes/circuits.
Targeted wiring improvements: Installed NM-B 12/2 where needed for 20‑amp circuits; included any required junction boxes for neat, code-compliant splices.
Electrical cleanup: Verified terminations, removed abandoned or unnecessary wiring, and safely terminated any open conductors.
Permitting: Filed the electrical permit with the county and coordinated inspections.

Permits and Important Exclusions

This job included the electrical permit required for the scope described. Other permit types vary by jurisdiction and project:

Non-electrical approvals—such as Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, separate subcontractor filings, or builder/general permits—are not included.
If additional non-electrical permits are required, we inform the customer, outline which permits the owner may need to handle, and can provide pricing to process any extra filings upon request.
