First we hired Daniel to come check out a problem with one of our light switches. He was so thorough and honest that we asked for a quote to upgrade a very old circuit panel. His price was very reasonable. He was always working one step ahead dealing with our energy company and getting the materials and permit. Daniel is a hard worker, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his work! We’re glad that now we have an electrician we trust in case we have any other work to be done.

Expert Basement Finishing Wiring in Lakewood, CO
Basement finishing wiring is one of the most common electrical projects Lakewood homeowners take on when adding a bedroom, home office, or rec room below grade. Upstanding Electric LLC handles the full electrical scope: circuit planning, rough-in wiring, outlet and switch placement, lighting layout, and final connections. Many Lakewood homes built between the 1950s and 1970s carry older panels that need evaluation before a basement finish adds new load. We check panel capacity first so the finished space runs safely without tripping breakers or overloading existing circuits. Lakewood requires permits for basement finish work, and electrical rough-in must pass inspection before walls close. We coordinate that process so nothing gets buried behind drywall before it is approved. Whether your basement will have one open room or several separate spaces, we map circuits to match how you plan to use the space. Call Upstanding Electric LLC to schedule your Lakewood basement wiring assessment.
