Routes may come from above or below

Attics, basements, closets, chases, and existing openings can sometimes reduce the amount of finish disturbance.

Some openings may still be necessary

No responsible contractor can promise zero wall or ceiling access before understanding the house and circuit routes.

Before work starts, determine whether electrical pricing includes patching or whether a separate plaster, drywall, carpentry, or painting contractor will handle finishes.
