Electrical Services for Home Renovation & Remodeling in Brick, NJ
Electrical work is one of the most important parts of any renovation, and one of the easiest to get wrong. The lighting, outlets, circuits and controls you choose today determine how your remodeled space will look, function and perform for decades. Cutting corners can mean failed inspections, delays and expensive fixes after the finishes are in.
Light Up Electric LLC provides remodeling and renovation electrical services for homeowners, builders and designers across Brick and the Ocean and Monmouth County shore. We work with kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions and whole-home renovations, from a single room refresh to a full gut renovation.
Expert Electrical Remodeling Services
Your electrician should be involved early
The best renovations bring the electrician into the conversation at the start, not after the walls are closed. Early planning helps decide where outlets, switches, recessed lights, under-cabinet lighting, appliances and data lines belong, and it uncovers constraints, such as limited panel capacity or older wiring, before they affect your budget and schedule. We are happy to walk through plans with you, your contractor, architect or designer and offer practical input.
Rough-in and finish: the two phases of remodel electrical
Most remodels involve two electrical stages. During the rough-in, framing is open and we install boxes, cable, circuits and any new service equipment. After inspection and drywall, we return for the finish phase: installing devices, fixtures, trim, dimmers and appliances, then testing everything. Good coordination between these phases keeps your project on schedule and your walls intact.
Kitchens, baths and living spaces
- Kitchens: dedicated circuits for appliances, countertop receptacles to code, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, pendants over islands, and GFCI protection
- Bathrooms: GFCI-protected circuits, vanity and mirror lighting, ventilation fan wiring, and heated floor or towel warmer circuits
- Basements: new circuits for finished space, recessed lighting, sump pump and laundry circuits, and moisture-aware wiring methods
- Living and dining areas: layered lighting, dimmers, ceiling fans and architectural fixtures
- Additions and second stories: subpanels or service upgrades, new branch circuits, HVAC and mini-split wiring
- Outdoor living: exterior lighting, patio and deck circuits, landscape lighting and spa or outdoor kitchen wiring
Is your panel ready for the remodel?
Adding square footage, new appliances or electric heating can push an older electrical service beyond its limits. A load calculation tells us whether your existing service can handle the project. If it cannot, we can plan an electric panel and service upgrade as part of the work, which is far more efficient than coming back later.
Planning for tomorrow
A remodel is the ideal time to prepare for the future. While walls are open, we can add smart home wiring, network cabling, speaker prewire and conduit for upcoming upgrades. We can also run a dedicated circuit for a future EV charger or leave room for backup power. These additions cost little during construction and far more afterward.
Permits, inspections and code
Remodel electrical work requires permits and inspections in New Jersey, and we handle them ourselves. You get a firm price before work begins, based on the scope we agree on. Older homes often require updates to bring a space up to current code, such as GFCI and AFCI protection, grounding and smoke and carbon monoxide alarm requirements. We explain what is required and why, so there are no surprises when the inspector arrives.
Respect for your home
Renovating a home is disruptive enough. We protect floors and finished areas, keep the job site tidy and communicate clearly about schedule and access. In older and historic shore homes, such as those in Spring Lake, Belmar and Manasquan, we take extra care working around original woodwork and plaster. For homeowners rebuilding or elevating in flood-conscious areas of Brick, Point Pleasant and Brielle, we can help plan electrical systems that account for current requirements. Larger projects in Rumson, Deal and Red Bank often involve designers and builders, and we are comfortable working as part of that team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for remodeling electrical work in New Jersey?
Yes. Remodeling electrical work generally requires an electrical permit and inspection. We handle permits and inspections ourselves for the work we perform, and you get a firm price before work begins.
When should I hire an electrician for a remodel?
As early as possible, ideally during planning and before framing is finished. Early input helps place lighting and outlets correctly and avoid surprises with panel capacity.
Can you work with my general contractor or designer?
Yes. We coordinate with homeowners, contractors, architects and designers, and can work from plans or help develop an electrical layout.
Will my remodel require a panel upgrade?
Not always. Adding square footage, new appliances or electric heating may exceed your current capacity. We perform a load calculation to find out.
Can you add recessed or under-cabinet lighting to an existing room?
Often, yes. We can add recessed lighting and under-cabinet lighting in finished rooms, with minimal drywall repair needed, depending on access.
Can I add smart home or EV charger wiring during a remodel?
Yes. Remodels are the most cost-effective time to add network cabling, smart lighting controls, speaker prewire and a dedicated EV charger circuit.
