New Canaan project context
Respect the architecture while improving how the home works
Explore the complete New Canaan guideNew Canaan projects may involve architecturally significant details, custom materials, carefully proportioned interiors, later additions, or modern systems integrated into established homes. The work should begin with documentation and a clear standard for what must be preserved, matched, repaired, or redesigned. Kennedy can coordinate interior renovation, custom carpentry, lighting, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, automation, exterior repairs, painting, pool-area work, hardscape, landscape restoration, and property care. Where an architect, designer, engineer, or existing specialty vendor is involved, Kennedy can organize construction input and implementation around that team.

Helpful first details for residential wiring & rewiring
Tell us about your home's age, your active electrical symptoms, or detail your upcoming renovation project.
Knob-and-tube & aluminum replacement
Outdated wiring methods like knob-and-tube or aluminum cabling are not suited for modern power demands and can cause home insurance coverage issues. We replace these systems with modern, insulated copper wiring.
Dedicated mechanical circuits
Modern HVAC heat pumps, steam showers, hot tubs, and heavy kitchen appliances require dedicated circuits directly back to your electrical panel to prevent overload tripping.
Safe, minimally invasive routing
We utilize advanced routing techniques to pull wires through finished walls with minimal drywall damage, coordinating full plaster patch and paint restoration afterwards.
