Remodeling a commercial space means working around existing systems, occupied tenants, and tight deadlines — all while meeting current code requirements. Kohl Electrical Services specializes in commercial remodel electrical work across the greater Milwaukee area, handling everything from partial upgrades to complete electrical gut-and-rebuilds in active commercial buildings.

Commercial remodel electrical is one of the most demanding scopes in the trade. You're dealing with existing infrastructure that may be outdated, undersized, or undocumented. You're often working in occupied or partially occupied buildings. And you're doing it under the pressure of a renovation timeline where every trade is waiting on every other trade.
Kohl Electrical Services has spent over a decade building the systems and the team to handle exactly this. We assess existing electrical infrastructure before any work begins, identify what can be reused, what needs to be upgraded, and what needs to come out entirely. Then we execute cleanly — with minimal disruption to your building's occupants and maximum coordination with your GC.
Our remodel electrical scope covers panel and service upgrades, circuit reconfiguration and additions, lighting system replacement, power for new equipment and HVAC, low voltage updates, and code compliance corrections on existing work. Whether you're refreshing a single floor of office space or gutting and rebuilding a commercial kitchen, we have the experience to do it right.
Remodel electrical requires a different skill set than new construction. It takes experience, problem-solving, and a contractor who can handle the unexpected without blowing up your schedule or your budget. That's what we bring.
We understand that your tenants don't stop operating because you're renovating. Our team plans work sequences to minimize disruption, schedules disruptive work during off-hours when needed, and communicates clearly with building management throughout. Clean, professional, and considerate on every job site.
Older commercial buildings are full of surprises — outdated panels, undocumented circuits, code violations from previous contractors. We've seen it all. When we open a wall and find a problem, we assess it fast, communicate it immediately, and propose a solution that keeps the project moving.
Remodel projects require tight trade coordination. Our project managers stay in active communication with your GC, your mechanical contractor, and your project schedule. We don't disappear between rough-in and trim — we're present, responsive, and accountable from start to finish.

Common questions from property owners, building managers, and general contractors planning a commercial remodel in the Milwaukee area.
Yes — this is something we do regularly. We plan work sequences carefully, schedule disruptive tasks during off-hours or weekends when necessary, and coordinate with building management to keep disruption to a minimum. We treat occupied buildings with the same professionalism we'd want if it were our own workspace.
It depends on the scope of your renovation, but common elements include panel and service upgrades, circuit reconfiguration for new floor plans, lighting system replacement, power drops for new equipment or workstations, low voltage updates, and corrections to any existing work that doesn't meet current code. We assess the existing infrastructure first so there are no surprises.
Yes. If we find existing work that doesn't meet current Wisconsin electrical code during a remodel, we'll flag it, explain what's required, and give you options. We won't knowingly leave non-compliant work in place — both for liability reasons and because it's the right thing to do.
We communicate immediately and come to you with a solution, not just a problem. Our team is experienced enough to assess unexpected conditions quickly, understand the impact on scope and schedule, and propose the most efficient path forward. We don't use surprises as an excuse to blow up a budget.
