Kitchen Electrical Remodeling
Inspection timing drives the rest of the trades on a remodel. New construction wiring is judged by the inspection, so it gets planned to pass the first time.
Kitchen Electrical Remodeling in O’Fallon and across St. Charles, St. Louis, Lincoln and Warren counties.
No dispatcher and no commissioned salesman. Seventeen years in the trade, four of them on his own.

What this work actually involves
Rough-in is labeled and photographed before insulation, which saves opening a wall later.
Nothing gets quoted off a description. The reading comes first, because a symptom has several possible causes at very different prices and only a measurement separates them.
Where a permit and an inspection are required they happen, and the site is left ready for them. One person carries the job from the first call to the final test.
When people call about this
- A bathroom with one outlet
- A basement about to be finished
- A kitchen layout that moved
- An addition with no panel capacity
Why people choose Clint for it
A one-person shop cannot be in two places at once, so you get a real date instead of a window. What you also get is the same person every time.

Where this is done
A roughly fifty mile working radius from O’Fallon, covering thirty municipalities across five jurisdictions in the St. Louis metro.

Rough-in records save walls
Photographs of the rough-in, taken before insulation, are worth more than anyone expects. Two years later they show exactly where a cable runs behind finished drywall.
Labeling at both ends does the same job for the next electrician.
Panel capacity is the usual constraint
A finished basement adds lighting, receptacles, often a bathroom and sometimes a kitchenette. Each is modest; together they are a load the original service may not have.
The calculation happens before the framing, because finding out at inspection is expensive.
What a kitchen remodel needs electrically
Kitchens carry more dedicated circuits than any other room: counter receptacles, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, refrigerator, range. Most older kitchens have a fraction of that.
The circuit plan gets drawn against the appliances actually being installed, rough-in is inspected before drywall, and the counter receptacle spacing is set to the code rather than to the old layout.
What gets left behind when the work is done
A labeled panel, accessible junctions, the old parts if you want to see them, and a straight account of anything found along the way that was not part of the call.
Where something else was found, you get told what it is and whether it needs doing now, later or not at all. That third answer is a real answer and it gets used.
Why the diagnosis comes before the quote
A symptom has several possible causes with very different prices, and the only thing that separates them is a measurement. Quoting the expensive one covers the risk; quoting the cheap one and finding the expensive one mid-job is worse.
So the reading happens first, you are told what it says, and then the work is scoped to it. Where the honest answer is the small repair, that is the answer you get, even when the larger job pays better.
“Infinity came out for same day service after an electric line had been cut in my yard. He was able to locate and correct it very quickly, eliminating any risk of injury or additional power outage.”

How the visit goes
- The call
The plans, the rooms, and what will actually be in them when it is finished.
- The measurement
Load calculation before framing, panel capacity, and a circuit plan drawn against the finished use rather than the label on the drawing.
- The finding
Whether the existing service covers the project, and what the rough-in needs to include so nothing is opened up twice.
- The work
Rough-in labeled and photographed before insulation, inspection timed around the other trades, devices and fixtures at finish, final inspection attended.
What the job includes
- Circuit plan drawn against the finished room, not the label on the plan
- Load calculation before framing, so capacity is known early
- Rough-in labeled and photographed before insulation
- Coordination with the other trades on inspection timing
- Device and fixture install at finish
- Final inspection attended
What it does not
- Framing, drywall and finishing
- Cabinetry and appliance supply
- Permit fees, which are passed through at cost
Work that is not electrical gets a referral, not a quote. Recent jobs are worth a look before you call.

Kitchen Electrical Remodeling across the metro
Where the house is changes what the work involves. Clint works out of O’Fallon across five jurisdictions, and the same service means different work in each.
St. Louis County
Older stock that has been worked on repeatedly, so a panel here has often been added to three or four times by different hands.
St. Louis City
The City is an independent city, not part of the County, and it runs its own permits and inspections. Assuming county process here is a common and expensive mistake.
Lincoln County
Outages last longer this far from town, which changes the backup conversation from comfort to the pump.
Every municipality covered is listed on the service areas page.
Questions worth asking first.
When should the electrician come in on a remodel?
Before the drywall. Rough-in is when circuits are cheap to place, and that is the one chance to put them where the finished room will actually be used.
Will my panel carry a finished basement?
That is the question to answer first. A finished basement adds lighting, outlets and often a bathroom or a freezer, and the load calculation shows whether the existing service covers it.
Do you coordinate with my other trades?
Yes. Rough-in has to land between demolition and drywall, and inspections get timed so the drywall and tile crews are not waiting.
Who actually shows up?
Clint Ehman. Infinity Electric is owner-operated, so the person who answers the phone is the person who measures your panel and pulls the permit. There is no dispatcher and no commissioned salesman.
Are you licensed and insured?
Licensed, bonded and insured, with workers compensation coverage, and accredited A+ with the BBB since 2022.
