Electrical Work for Remodels, Additions & Tenant Build Outs

Don’t Let a Handyman Touch Your Wires. You Need A Licensed Electrician.

 

New kitchen? Finished basement? Home addition? Commercial space build out for a new tenant? Cool. Just don’t trust the work to someone who learned electrical work from YouTube.

Here’s the deal: in Minnesota, any electrical work needs to be done by a licensed electrician. Not a handyman. Not your cousin. Not your contractor’s “guy.” A licensed, insured pro.

Because when it comes to power, there’s no room for shortcuts.

What We Handle During Home Remodels & Build Outs

 

When you bring in Voyageur Electric during a remodel, we work directly with you (or your GC) to:

  • Update wiring and remove outdated or unsafe connections
  • Add circuits for kitchens, baths, additions, finished basements, offices, etc.
  • Install new outlets, lighting, and smart switches
  • Reroute wiring safely for new layouts and open-concept designs
  • Ensure everything’s up to code and inspection-ready

We don’t just show up and pull wires. We plan, communicate, and deliver clean work that blends in like it’s always been there.

 

Why It Matters That We’re Licensed (and Handymen Aren’t)

 

Let’s be clear: handymen are great for drywall, tiling, and small fixes. But electrical? Nope. In Minnesota, that’s a hard line.

Here’s why that matters:

  • Licensed electricians pull permits, so your remodel passes inspection
  • We’re insured. This means you’re protected.
  • We understand load calculations, panel capacity, and grounding (aka the stuff that keeps your home or space from burning down)

Bottom line: code-compliant electrical work protects your investment, and keeps your family, and/or business safe.
