Renovating while preserving finished surfaces
Mark the areas that will actually be opened and the finishes to preserve. Electrical routing and restoration responsibilities should be discussed before an estimate assumes unrestricted access throughout the house.
Mark demolition limits on the plan rather than relying on a general finished-house description. Access through retained areas can differ substantially from wiring within open framing.
Why mark what will stay closed?
Open framing in one room does not establish access through the retained part of the house. Wiring routes may require different approaches or additional openings there.
Review demolition boundaries with the proposed circuits before pricing is finalized. MKB can define electrical access work and distinguish restoration responsibilities, keeping a renovation estimate from implying that every finished surface outside the new room remains untouched.
Details to include with this request
- Demolition limits
- Protected finishes
- Restoration responsibility
