Florence · Lauderdale County
Florence is the biggest city in the Shoals and the seat of Lauderdale County — which means its housing stretches from antebellum-era homes near downtown and the historic districts to mid-century ranchers, to fast-growing subdivisions on the west side. Every era of wiring is here, and each one has its own failure points.
In the older neighborhoods — the Wood Avenue historic district, Sweetwater, the streets around the University of North Alabama — we regularly see 60-to-100-amp services, cloth-insulated wiring, fuse boxes that were "temporary" fifty years ago, and panels loaded far past what their original builders imagined. Modern households run air conditioning, dryers, ranges, EV chargers, hot tubs, and home offices on systems designed for a radio and a refrigerator.
Out toward Cox Creek and the new growth corridors, the work flips: newer homes usually need capacity, not repair — EV charger circuits, sub-panels for shops and garages, whole-house surge protection, and lighting that finishes a space instead of just lighting it.
Straight about cost
Fishing wire through open framing costs less than finished plaster. In Florence's older homes, access is often the biggest line item.
If the service needs upgrading first, that comes before anything hanging off it. We'll tell you plainly when it does — and when it doesn't.
A dedicated circuit across the house costs more than one next to the panel. Longer runs, more circuits, more materials and labor.
Some jobs need them, some don't. When they do, we handle the paperwork — and you'll know it was part of the price from the start.
Every quote is specific to your house and your job — that's why we look before we price. Estimates are free on most work.

Start with a look at the service — panel age, capacity, and grounding — before anything else. In Florence, panel and service upgrades for older Florence homes still on 100-amp service is usually the highest-value first step, and everything else builds on a sound panel.
