WHY US IN OLD COLORADO CITY

Old Colorado City is one of the most historic parts of the Springs, and its homes show it. Many were built more than a hundred years ago and still have original knob-and-tube wiring hidden in the walls. That old wiring is a real fire risk, it cannot handle modern power needs, and many insurers will not cover a home until it is replaced. We specialize in rewiring historic homes the right way. We protect original plaster, trim, and character while bringing the wiring fully up to code. The Wire Wizards is a licensed, local electrician that explains every step in plain language and gives you a firm price before we start. From Pleasant Valley to Gold Hill Mesa and out toward the Manitou Springs border, homeowners trust us with their oldest and most cherished homes.
