Rough-In Electrical Work for a Custom Cabinet Wall Remodel

What started as a bare wall with a single outlet wasn't going to cut it. When you're building out a full custom cabinetry setup, the electrical has to be planned around the finished product - not patched in after the fact. That's exactly what we're doing here.

We mapped out every outlet, switch, and lighting drop point based on where the cabinets are going and how the space will actually be used day-to-day. Multiple junction boxes, carefully routed wiring runs, and switch locations that will line up perfectly once the cabinetry is installed. Nothing is guesswork.

This is the part of a remodel most people never see. But it's also where mistakes get made when things aren't thought through early. Adding circuits after drywall is closed up costs way more time and money than doing it right during rough-in. We plan it out before a single sheet of drywall goes up.

Getting the electrical right at this stage also means the lighting will actually work the way you want it to. Dedicated circuits, smart switch placements, and proper box positioning all get set here. Once the cabinets go in, everything lands exactly where it needs to be.

This is what a full residential remodel looks like behind the walls - deliberate, well-mapped, and built around how the finished space needs to function. It's not glamorous, but it's the work that makes the end result look and perform the way it should.
