A remodeled kitchen and a garage workshop have the same problem: more appliances and tools than the old wiring was built for. We plan the circuits, pull the permit and meet the inspector.

Next Phase Electric wires kitchen remodels and garages across South King and Pierce County. A kitchen needs at least two 20-amp countertop circuits with GFCI protection, and usually its own circuit for each big appliance: dishwasher, disposal, microwave, refrigerator and a 240-volt range. A garage needs GFCI outlets, good lighting, and often 240 volts for an EV charger, a compressor or shop tools, sometimes from a subpanel. New circuits are permit work. We pull the permit, wire it while the walls are open, and meet the inspector.
From a few new outlets to a full remodel.
New countertop, island and appliance circuits, wired while the walls are open and laid out to the new cabinets.
A 240-volt range or cooktop, and dedicated circuits for the dishwasher, disposal, microwave and refrigerator.
GFCI outlets where you need them, bright LED lighting, and an outlet for the door opener and the freezer.
240 volts for a compressor, welder, table saw or EV charger, often from a subpanel in the garage.
Three things the old wiring usually does not have.
Two 20-amp countertop circuits at the least, plus a circuit for each big appliance. Too few is why the toaster and the kettle trip the breaker together.
Code wants GFCI on kitchen counters, near sinks and on garage outlets. It cuts the power before a fault can hurt anyone.
New circuits need space and capacity in the panel. If it is full, a subpanel or a panel upgrade comes first, and we tell you before pricing.
Same panel, different needs.
| Kitchen remodel | Garage or shop | |
|---|---|---|
| Main circuits | Two 20-amp countertop circuits, plus one per big appliance. | General outlets, lighting, and 240 volts for tools or an EV. |
| Protection | GFCI on the counters and near the sink. | GFCI on the garage outlets. |
| Timing | While the walls are open, before cabinets and backsplash. | Any time. Open framing makes it faster. |
| Often needed too | Under cabinet and recessed lighting. | A subpanel, if the main panel is far away or full. |

The circuit list, panel space and capacity, and how the wire gets there. Exact price before any work.
Circuits in, devices on, inspection passed and every outlet tested.
Three things set the price: how many circuits the new layout needs, whether the panel has room for them, and whether the walls are open. Wiring during a remodel, before drywall, is the most efficient time. You get the exact price before any work starts.
At least two 20-amp circuits for the countertop outlets, plus usually one each for the dishwasher, disposal, microwave and refrigerator, and a 240-volt circuit for an electric range. Lighting goes on its own circuit.
Yes. Countertop outlets, outlets near the sink and garage outlets all need GFCI protection. We use GFCI outlets or GFCI breakers, whichever suits the layout.
Yes, for an EV charger, a compressor, a welder or shop tools. If the panel is far away or full, a subpanel in the garage is often the better route.
Yes. New circuits are permit work. We pull the permit and meet the inspector, usually once before the walls close and once at the end.
Yes. Send the plan and the schedule, and we wire it while the walls are open so the drywall and cabinets are not held up.
Usually by adding a circuit, so the kettle, toaster and microwave are not sharing one. We check the circuit first and tell you what it needs.
