Remodeling & Renovation Electrician in Fairfax, VA & Northern Virginia

A kitchen remodel. A basement finish. A master bathroom renovation. A new home office. Whatever your renovation project, the electrical work underneath it determines whether the finished product is truly done right — or just done. Rojas Electric is the licensed electrical contractor that Fairfax-area homeowners and general contractors call when they need an electrician who can scope the job accurately, coordinate with other trades, and deliver clean, code-compliant electrical work on a real renovation timeline.

One of the things that makes Rojas Electric different for renovation projects is our ability to discuss scope over the phone. Our master electrician can walk through your renovation plans with you — what rooms are involved, what new circuits are needed, what the panel can support — and give you a clear picture of the electrical scope and a ballpark estimate before you finalize your contractor plans or your budget. That is not something most electricians offer, and it saves you from discovering mid-renovation that the electrical work costs twice what you expected.

Remodeling Electrical Services We Offer in Fairfax, VA & Northern Virginia

Kitchen Remodel Electrical

Kitchen electrical is among the most code-intensive work in a home. We install GFCI outlets at all required countertop locations, dedicated circuits for large appliances (range, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave), under-cabinet LED lighting with concealed wiring, pendant and recessed lighting, and kitchen island circuits. We know Fairfax County's kitchen electrical code requirements and work to them exactly.

Bathroom Remodel Electrical

GFCI protection for all bathroom outlets as required by code, exhaust fan installation and wiring, vanity lighting circuits, heated floor thermostat wiring, and any additional circuits required by your bathroom remodel scope.

Basement Finishing Electrical

Full electrical for finished basements: recessed lighting layout and installation, outlet circuits on all walls per code, dedicated home theater or home office circuits, egress lighting, smoke detector installation, and panel assessment to confirm your basement circuits do not overload your existing service.

Home Office Electrical Setup

Modern home offices require dedicated circuits for computers, monitors, and networking equipment — not shared household circuits that trip under load during video calls. We install dedicated home office circuits, USB outlets, ethernet wiring, and the infrastructure for a professional-grade workspace.

Hot Tub & Spa Wiring

Hot tub and spa installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit, a GFCI-protected disconnect within line of sight of the tub, and proper bonding of all metallic components. Fairfax County requires an electrical permit for hot tub wiring. We handle the full electrical installation and permit process.

Outdoor Kitchen Electrical

Outdoor kitchen electrical including dedicated circuits for refrigerators, grills with electric ignition, outlets with weatherproof in-use covers, and outdoor lighting — all installed to code for outdoor wet locations.

Sauna Electrical Installation

Home sauna installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit sized for the specific heater unit. We size and install sauna circuits correctly and handle the associated Fairfax County permit.

Lighting Layout Redesign

Renovation is the ideal time to redesign your lighting — adding recessed lighting, removing dated fixtures, installing under-cabinet lighting, and creating layered lighting that makes the renovated space look its best.

Electrical Upgrades for Renovations

Many Northern Virginia renovations reveal that the existing panel cannot support the new electrical loads. We assess panel capacity as part of every renovation quote and include panel upgrade options when needed.

Signs Your Renovation Needs a Licensed Electrician in Fairfax, VA & Northern Virginia

You Are Opening Walls or Ceilings

Any renovation that opens walls or ceilings is an opportunity — and an obligation — to assess the existing wiring condition. Older wiring found during demo should be evaluated before it goes back behind drywall.

You Are Adding New Appliances with Higher Power Demands

Induction cooktops, double wall ovens, large refrigerators, and dishwashers all require dedicated circuits. Adding these to an existing kitchen circuit is a code violation and a fire risk.

Your Home Does Not Have GFCI Protection in Wet Areas

If your bathroom, kitchen, or garage outlets are not GFCI-protected, your renovation is the ideal time to correct this — and Fairfax County code requires GFCI in all new wet area work regardless of what existed before.

You Are Adding a Hot Tub or Outdoor Kitchen

Both require dedicated electrical circuits and Fairfax County permits. Starting installation before the electrical is permitted and planned creates significant problems.

You Are Finishing a Basement Without Checking Panel Capacity

A finished basement adds meaningful electrical load. Many older Northern Virginia homes do not have panel capacity to spare. A pre-renovation panel assessment costs nothing extra when included in your electrical estimate.

FAQs:

Remodeling Electrical in Fairfax, VA & Northern Virginia

Kitchen electrical for a mid-size Fairfax renovation typically runs $2,500 to $6,000 depending on the scope: number of new circuits, lighting installation, under-cabinet wiring, and whether a panel upgrade is needed. We can often give you a useful ballpark over the phone.
Yes. Any new electrical circuit installation in a basement requires an electrical permit from Fairfax County. We handle permitting for all basement electrical projects and schedule the required inspection.
For major renovations, we recommend scheduling your electrician before demo begins — ideally at the planning stage so we can assess your panel and include accurate electrical costs in your total budget. Call us as soon as possible for projects already underway.
A kitchen island with countertop outlets requires a minimum of one 20-amp small appliance circuit dedicated to the island. Larger islands with two or more outlet groups may require two circuits. If the island includes a cooktop, a separate dedicated 240V circuit is required. We specify all required circuits in your kitchen electrical estimate.
Hot tub electrical installation in Fairfax and Northern Virginia typically runs $500 to $1,500 depending on the distance from your electrical panel to the tub location and whether a panel upgrade is needed. All hot tub wiring requires a Fairfax County electrical permit. Call us for a free estimate.
Yes — and this is the ideal time to do it. When walls and ceilings are open during a renovation, wiring runs for recessed lighting are faster and cleaner than in finished spaces. We coordinate lighting installation with your renovation timeline so the rough-in wiring is in place before drywall goes up.
Often yes. Current Fairfax County code requires at least one 20-amp circuit dedicated to bathroom receptacles, GFCI protection on all bathroom outlets, and a separate circuit for exhaust fans that include a heating element. If your existing wiring does not meet these requirements, your remodel requires updating.
Yes. We coordinate directly with general contractors and communicate on their schedule. If your contractor needs a rough-in completed by a specific date, we plan around it. We have worked alongside many Fairfax-area GCs.
Rough-in is the first phase: running wire through open walls and ceilings, installing electrical boxes, and completing all wiring before drywall. Trim-out is the second phase: installing outlets, switches, fixtures, and devices after drywall and finish work are complete. We coordinate both phases with your renovation schedule.
Yes. We install dedicated home office circuits in any room — finished or unfinished — without requiring a renovation. If wall access is limited, we use low-profile techniques to run wiring with minimal drywall impact.
