Knob and Tube Replacement

Company Overview

We have crafted the insurability plan tailored for the Bay Area market regarding K&T retrofits, taking into account both the historical building codes, modern codes, and different insurance criteria. Our expertise of the present situation of insurers and the industry is unmatched.

By choosing our services, we guarantee that you can obtain the essential insurance by facilitating all necessary inspections from both the insurer and the local municipality. We work directly with insurance representatives, evaluators, and municipal inspectors, providing a comprehensive solution to achieve the insurance coverage you deserve.

All city permits we obtain will accurately represent the work requirements needed to satisfy underwriting standards, staving off coverage issues and providing you the duration needed for us to complete the work.

Our painting and patching services is top-notch. We restore all affected walls completely so that imperfections do not emerge later. We are skilled in addressing the historic features of the home, such as plaster and lath, decorative wall panels, and baseboards. Furthermore, we are aware of when heritage guidelines take precedence over current regulations and know how to advocate when the city attempts to extend the parameters.

In March 2023, residential real estate transactions began to go awry as insurance providers revised their guidelines to deny coverage for all properties with knob and tube wiring. This business was founded by a property developer and contractor with extensive experience in compliance, project management, development, and building, applying their expertise to update properties to help owners secure and retain insurance.

In that same month, my wife Brandi, a real estate agent in the Bay Area, shared me that a property in the Sunset area of San Francisco did not close because the bidders who placed bids on it could not get insurance. That week, two of her associates had buyers in escrow that were canceled by the insurers because the house was discovered to contain K&T wiring. That was the moment of realization that initiated the venture.

My expertise is in real estate development and financial management. I've built 400 residential units and have provided equity financing for the building of over 7500 apartments.
