Knob and Tube Replacement
Company Overview
We have designed the insurability plan tailored for the Bay Area market regarding K&T wiring retrofits, taking into account both the historic regulations, existing regulations, and multiple underwriting standards. Our insight of the current state of insurance companies and the landscape is exceptional.
When you work with our team, we promise that you can secure the essential insurance by managing all mandatory inspections from both the insurance agency and the government. We work directly with brokers, adjusters, and city inspectors, providing a complete solution to obtain the protection you rightfully.
Every permit we secure will accurately represent the project details needed to meet underwriting criteria, preventing coverage rejections and allowing you the time needed for us to finish the job.
The scope of painting and patching we provide is exceptional. We repair all walls in question completely so that imperfections do not reappear later. We understand the old characteristics of the home, such as lath and plaster, wainscoting, and wooden baseboards. Furthermore, we are aware of when older regulations take precedence over modern building codes and know how to advocate when the city wants to extend the requirements.
In March 2023, residential real estate transactions began to struggle as insurance companies revised their guidelines to exclude all properties with K&T installations. Knob and Tube Replacement was founded by a multifamily developer and contractor with significant experience in regulatory processes, managing projects, real estate development, and construction, applying their expertise to modernize properties to help owners get and retain insurance.
In March 2023, my wife Brandi, a realtor in SF, told me that a property in the Sunset district of SF did not sell because the bidders who placed bids on it could not secure insurance. That week, two of her colleagues had buyers in contract that were dropped by the insurance carriers because the home was found to have K&T wiring. That was the turning point that sparked the venture.
My experience is in property development and finance. I've built over 400 units and have arranged equity financing for the building of more than 7500 units.
