Your licensed electrician in the historic M Streets
The M Streets, formally Greenland Hills, is one of East Dallas's most charming and desirable neighborhoods, famous for its streets named with the letter M, Mercedes, Monticello, McCommas, Marquita, and more, and for its iconic 1920s and 1930s Tudor-style cottages on tree-lined streets. A historic conservation district popular with young professionals and families and walkable to Greenville Avenue, it is a place where character is cherished, and the electrical work reflects that.
After nearly a century, the original wiring in these Tudors needs attention. Homes from the 1920s and 1930s were commonly built with knob-and-tube and other early wiring that has long since reached the end of its safe life, and updating it without harming plaster, archways, and original details takes patience and skill. We rewire carefully, fishing new grounded circuits through historic construction with minimal disruption, preserving the charm that makes these cottages special.
Panel and service upgrades are the constant companion to that work. The small original electrical services in these homes were sized for the 1920s, not for central air, modern kitchens, electronics, and EV charging, so upgrading the panel and service is usually essential to modern living and to any renovation. We evaluate the service and right-size the panel for how the home is actually used, so it runs safely and supports the home a family wants today.
Recessed and period-sensitive lighting, safety inspections for buyers and renovations, EV charging, and ceiling fans round out the work. Whatever the project, we bring a licensed, code-first approach, restoration-sensitive care, and respect for the conservation district. We answer the phone around the clock.

A typical M Streets project
A representative M Streets job for us is a 1920s Tudor cottage that still carried much of its original wiring on a panel far too small for the family's needs, with breakers tripping as modern life caught up with it.
We rewired the aging circuits with modern grounded copper, fishing carefully through plaster to protect the Tudor details, and upgraded the panel for reliable capacity, leaving the cottage safe, current, and every bit itself.

Learn moreRestoration-sensitive electrical for M Streets Tudors
The M Streets' Tudor cottages are cherished for their character, and that character guides how we work. Nearly a century on, the knob-and-tube and early wiring in many of these homes has outlived its safe service life and is both a safety and an insurance concern, but rewiring a small home full of plaster walls, arched openings, and original woodwork is a craft. We plan routes carefully, fish new grounded circuits with minimal disruption, and protect the details that make a Tudor a Tudor, bringing the wiring up to modern safety without sacrificing charm.
Panel and service upgrades almost always go hand in hand with that work. The original electrical service in these homes was sized for 1920s living, a fraction of what a modern household, much less a renovation with central air and a modern kitchen, demands. We upgrade the panel and service, right-sized for how the home will actually be used, which is the foundation that makes everything else, from EV charging to a renovated kitchen, possible and safe. We handle the permits and inspections as part of the job.
From there, the work follows the renovation: recessed and period-sensitive lighting that modernizes the interior while respecting it, honest safety inspections for buyers and planning, EV charging, and ceiling fans for comfort. Throughout, we work with care for the conservation district and the home, delivering licensed, code-compliant electrical worthy of the M Streets.
