Electrical work in a New York City apartment or commercial space is one of the most consequential parts of any renovation — done wrong, it's a safety hazard and a liability. At Paun Craft, we coordinate all electrical work through licensed professionals as part of your renovation project, ensuring every circuit, outlet, and fixture is installed correctly, safely, and in compliance with NYC electrical codes.
Whether it's roughing in new circuits during a full renovation, upgrading an electrical panel, installing recessed lighting, or running dedicated circuits for kitchen appliances — we handle the coordination and execution as part of the full project scope. All electrical work is performed by or under the supervision of licensed electricians, across all five NYC boroughs.

Why NYC Homeowners & Businesses Choose Paun Craft for Electrical Work
01. Safe, Code-Compliant Electrical Work
Electrical shortcuts in NYC apartments are more than an inconvenience — they're a fire hazard and a liability. All work we coordinate is performed by licensed electricians and meets current NYC electrical codes. No improvised wiring, no skipped inspections.
02. Electrical Sequenced With Your Full Renovation
The biggest electrical mistakes happen when the electrician works independently from the rest of the renovation. We rough in all electrical before walls close, coordinate lighting placement with ceiling work, and sequence everything correctly so nothing has to be reopened.
03. Commercial Lighting That Makes a Statement (icon: lightbulb)
We've installed LED linear lighting systems in Manhattan commercial spaces — the kind of dramatic overhead lighting that defines the atmosphere of a premium barbershop or retail interior. If you want lighting that makes your space look designed, we know how to deliver it.
04. Experience With NYC's Older Buildings
Many New York City buildings have aging electrical systems — outdated panels, aluminum wiring, and circuits that weren't designed for modern loads. We assess existing conditions honestly and recommend the right upgrades for your building and your needs.
How Our NYC Electrical Service Process Works
Free On-Site Assessment
We assess your existing electrical system, discuss what's needed, and give you a clear written estimate. We'll flag any panel capacity issues or building requirements upfront — before work begins.
Rough-In & Circuit Work
All new circuits and wiring are run in the correct sequence, coordinated with framing and plumbing rough-in. Every connection made correctly before walls are closed. No guesswork, no improvisation.
Fixture Installation & Final Testing
Once finishes are in place, we install all fixtures — outlets, switches, lighting, fans — and do a full circuit test before handover. Everything working correctly and safely before we leave.

Yes — most electrical work in NYC that goes beyond simple fixture swaps requires a Department of Buildings permit. This includes new circuit installation, panel upgrades, and any work that opens walls. Replacing an outlet or light fixture typically does not require a permit.
Paun Craft advises on permit requirements during every estimate and coordinates the process as part of the project.
Yes — electrical panel upgrades are one of the most common electrical services we provide in NYC. Many older buildings in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens have outdated 60-amp or 100-amp panels that can't support modern appliances and HVAC systems.
We upgrade to 200-amp service and add circuits as needed — fully permitted and compliant with Con Edison and NYC DOB requirements.
Yes — this is one of the key advantages of working with Paun Craft. We sequence electrical rough-in as part of the full renovation — before walls close, before ceiling work goes up — so nothing has to be opened again.
Outlets, lighting placement, and dedicated circuits are all coordinated with the rest of the build. One team, one timeline, no separate electrician to chase.
