The phrase “ri wire” is more than a keyword—it is the shorthand homeowners and contractors use when they need to re-wire a home in Rhode Island. Between aging housing stock, evolving electrical codes, and surging demand for electric vehicle chargers and solar hookups, a clean, code-compliant RI wire upgrade is now a top priority across the Ocean State.
Traditional estimating requires hours of measuring, manual look-ups, and spreadsheet gymnastics. CountBricks changes the game by converting a real-time voice conversation into a detailed materials list, labor breakdown, and final number—often before the homeowner’s coffee cools.
• AI voice capture records on-site walk-throughs and instantly tags rooms, circuits, and fixture counts
• Blueprint upload turns CountBricks into a takeoff engine that auto-traces outlets, panels, and homeruns
• Real-time cost database keeps copper, conduit, boxes, breakers, and labor rates synced with the Rhode Island market
• Instant PDF proposals branded with your logo are ready to email the moment you hang up
A full rewire touches nearly every surface of a home. Knowing the scope helps you and the homeowner align expectations, budgets, and timelines.
• Service upgrade to 200 amps or higher for modern loads
• Replacement of all branch circuits with NM-B or MC cable
• Arc-fault and ground-fault protection as required by the latest NEC cycle
• New receptacles, switches, and smart-device controls
• Bonding and grounding to current utility and local amendments
CountBricks has analyzed thousands of Rhode Island projects and identified five cost multipliers:
1. Age of the home—knob-and-tube removal adds disposal labor
2. Finished surfaces—plaster repair outruns simple drywall patching
3. Story count—three-story Victorians require longer ladder and cable runs
4. Service location—underground utility feeds require trenching and PVC
5. Permit jurisdiction—some towns demand third-party inspections and higher fees
• 1,200 sq ft Ranch with open attic: $10,500 – $13,800
• 2,400 sq ft Cape with partial finish: $18,900 – $24,300
• 3,800 sq ft Historic Colonial: $31,000 – $39,500
All numbers come directly from CountBricks.com/services and update nightly with copper futures, local wage rates, and Rhode Island permit tables.

Every RI wire estimate produced by CountBricks references the latest NEC edition adopted by Rhode Island, plus local amendments such as Providence AFCI requirements. If the code changes, CountBricks flags affected line items and lets you generate a delta quote in seconds.
When the Martins bought a 1920s bungalow in Providence, their inspection revealed cloth-wrapped wiring and an undersized 60-amp service. Their electrician used CountBricks in the driveway, spoke through each room, and had a signed $17,200 contract before sunset. Material orders auto-populated, and the project finished a week early thanks to the platform’s crew scheduling feature. View more examples at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

1. Dynamic Material Lock-In
Copper prices can swing 5-10 % in a single week. CountBricks timestamps every estimate and lets contractors lock today’s pricing with participating suppliers. The homeowner sees a clear expiration date, and the electrician avoids margin erosion.
2. Inspection Countdown Alerts
Rhode Island’s patchwork of municipal inspectors can derail schedules. CountBricks tracks permit numbers, inspection windows, and required documentation. Automatic SMS and email alerts keep crews, homeowners, and inspectors aligned, preventing costly re-visits.
3. Change-Order Transparency
Unexpected plaster damage? Need to add a 50-amp spa circuit? Contractors generate a voice-driven change order on-site, and CountBricks recalculates labor, material, and timeline in under 60 seconds. The homeowner signs digitally, eliminating “he said, she said” disputes.
A 3,100 sq ft three-story Victorian in Newport needed new wiring, CAT-6, and a 300-amp service. Using CountBricks:
• Takeoff time dropped from 7 hours to 35 minutes
• Estimate accuracy improved to within 1.8 % of final cost
• Two change orders were approved on phones, saving a full day of paperwork
The contractor added the project to their CountBricks.com/portfolio page and has booked four similar jobs since.
