This is what a major remodel looks like before the drywall goes up. Walls open, framing fresh, and every system - electrical, plumbing, HVAC - visible and accessible. This is exactly the stage we love working in. Everything is right in front of you, and there are zero excuses for cutting corners.

Electrical planning at the framing stage is where a remodel either sets itself up for success or creates headaches down the road. If the circuit layout isn't thought through now, you end up with outlets in the wrong spots, undersized runs, or breakers that get tripped every time someone plugs something in. We plan it right while the walls are still open - because fixing it after the drywall is up costs a lot more than doing it correctly the first time.

This Edina home is a serious gut remodel. Multiple rooms, new framing throughout, plumbing rough-in already underway, and the original brick arched doorways preserved through the whole thing. That kind of character is worth keeping. Our job is to work around it, not through it.

With a remodel this size, coordination between trades is everything. Electrical has to account for where the HVAC runs, where the plumbing is going, and what the finished layout will actually look like. We're mapping out circuits, planning load distribution, and making sure every future switch, outlet, and fixture lands exactly where it needs to. More updates coming as this one moves forward.

Remodels and additions like this one are where our experience really shows. It's not just about pulling wire - it's about understanding the full picture of a project and making decisions early that pay off at the finish line.
