Cost to Rewire a House in the Wenatchee Valley (2026)
Updated June 2026
$3,000 – $15,000
Rewiring replaces aging, unsafe wiring — like knob-and-tube or aluminum — with modern copper. For older homes in Wenatchee, Cashmere, and Leavenworth, it's often a safety and insurability necessity.
Cost depends heavily on home size and access. A partial rewire might be a few thousand dollars; a full rewire of a larger older home can reach $15,000 or more.
Cost breakdown
| Partial rewire (a few circuits) | $2,000 – $6,000 |
| Full rewire, small home (<1,500 sq ft) | $6,000 – $10,000 |
| Full rewire, larger/older home | $10,000 – $15,000+ |
| Drywall repair (if needed) | varies |

What affects the price
Home size & circuits
More square footage and more circuits mean more wire, boxes, and labor.
Access
Open walls, accessible attics/crawlspaces, and a single story keep costs down; finished walls that must be opened raise them.
Knob-and-tube or aluminum
Removing old knob-and-tube or remediating aluminum wiring adds time but is strongly recommended for safety and insurance.

- Can rewiring be done in phases?
- Yes — many homeowners do a partial rewire of the most urgent circuits first, then complete the rest over time.
