Whether you are adding a master suite, gutting a kitchen, finishing a bonus room, or wiring a new camp, we tie the new work cleanly into your existing service with capacity planned for what comes next.
Common situations that bring homeowners and businesses to Pelican State Electric LLC. If any of these sound familiar, the rest of the page is worth your time.
Any new heated, cooled, or occupied square footage adds load. A new master suite, sunroom, finished attic, or in-law unit needs dedicated circuits and may need a panel upgrade.
Modern kitchens carry more circuits than older houses were ever wired for. Dedicated lines for the range, dishwasher, microwave, disposal, refrigerator, and small-appliance counter outlets are code, not preference.
GFCI requirements, fan circuits, in-mirror lighting, and heated floor controls require dedicated runs that an older bathroom usually does not have.
Subpanel selection, feeder sizing, grounding requirements, and exterior conduit runs all have to be sized to the actual load you are running, not whatever the previous owner thought.
A full panel limits every renovation downstream. We can upgrade the panel as part of the remodel scope so future projects do not get stuck.
Every job runs through the same defined process. You know what is happening, why it is happening, and what comes next.
We start by reading what is already there. Panel inventory, breaker labels, load calculation against the existing service. You should know what your house can take before we add to it.
We walk the new space with you, mark every device, every fixture, every switch, and produce a flat written quote against the plans.
Most additions and significant remodels need a parish electrical permit. We pull it, coordinate with the framer or GC, and schedule rough-in around the rest of the trades.
All new boxes, runs, and home runs in. Inspector signs off the rough before insulation and drywall go up.
Devices, fixtures, smoke alarms, panel additions, and any feeder upgrades wrapped up clean. New circuits labeled in the existing panel directory.
Inspector signs off, we walk the homeowner through every new switch and outlet, and hand off the updated panel schedule.
The work included as standard scope. No add-ons, no surprise line items.
