Washington DC homes are mostly historic row houses and converted flats across the District, so we frequently encounter knob-and-tube, cloth-wrapped wiring and 60-100A panels. The most common situation we address is rowhouse rewires and grounding upgrades in Capitol Hill and Petworth. Permits for this work go through the DC Department of Buildings (DOB), and DC requires its own licensing and permits, reflected in District-specific pricing. That local knowledge means AJ Long Electric arrives prepared for the conditions specific to Washington DC rather than treating it like any other District of Columbia job.
