Expert electrical installation services for Brooklyn homes and businesses
Electrical installation in Brooklyn covers everything from panel upgrades and new circuit runs to lighting design, smart home wiring, and complete electrical system modernization. Lion Construction Management coordinates licensed electricians for all electrical scope — service upgrades, sub-panel installations, dedicated appliance circuits, recessed and decorative lighting, outlet and switch installations, and low-voltage wiring for data, audio, and home automation. All work is permitted and inspected per NYC DOB requirements.
Brooklyn renovation permitting varies significantly by neighborhood and building type. Brownstone and townhouse renovations in landmarked districts like Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and Fort Greene require Landmarks Preservation Commission approval for any exterior work and sometimes interior structural changes. Attached row houses share party walls with neighbors, which introduces structural considerations and party-wall agreements for any work that touches shared walls. Brooklyn co-ops and condos have their own alteration agreement processes, though typically less onerous than Manhattan. Lion Construction Management has filed hundreds of Brooklyn DOB permits and LPC applications — we know the neighborhood-specific requirements before work begins.

Mechanical systems in Brooklyn buildings — especially brownstones and pre-war townhouses — often involve modernizing century-old infrastructure. Galvanized steel supply pipes, cast-iron waste stacks, knob-and-tube wiring, and oil-fired boilers are common. Lion Construction Management coordinates licensed contractors to assess existing conditions, design upgrades, file DOB permits, and execute the work. In brownstones, plumbing and electrical runs are typically exposed in the cellar and concealed on upper floors — our project managers plan access points and patch strategies to minimize wall damage. Expect an initial survey of existing conditions, a phased plan that keeps your home habitable during work, and inspections at each stage before walls are closed up.
If your Brooklyn home has a 60-amp or 100-amp panel, a panel upgrade to 200 amps is typically recommended — especially if you're renovating, adding appliances, or installing central AC or an EV charger. Older brownstones, converted lofts, row houses, new-construction condos, and multi-family homes often have undersized panels that can't safely support modern electrical loads.
A 200-amp panel upgrade in Brooklyn typically costs $3,000–$6,000 including permits and inspection. Full apartment or home rewiring ranges from $8,000–$25,000+ depending on size and complexity. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your existing electrical system.
Yes. All electrical work in Brooklyn requires DOB permits and must be performed by NYC-licensed electricians. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are in historic districts, which may require Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) review in addition to DOB permits. Lion Construction Management handles all permitting, inspections, and code compliance on your behalf.
Absolutely. We integrate smart lighting, motorized shades, whole-home audio, video distribution, smart locks, and voice-controlled systems during renovation when it's easiest and most cost-effective to run wiring. Retrofit installations are also available.
