Rough-In to Ready: Wiring an Entire Downstairs for Shades in 48 Hours

A general contractor called me during the rough-in phase of a build, looking for someone he could actually trust to get it right the first time. He knew that at rough-in, there's no fixing a mistake later without tearing back into finished walls. He needed the entire downstairs wired and mapped for motorized shades, on a tight timeline. We had it fully mapped for them within 48 hours.

Why Rough-In Is the Moment That Matters

Motorized shades need power run to the right locations before drywall goes up . Get it wrong at this stage, and you're either living with a compromise or paying to open the wall back up. Contractors who've been burned by that before tend to get particular about who they trust with it.

What "Trusted" Actually Means to a Builder

It's not just knowing the product. It's understanding a construction timeline well enough to not become the bottleneck, showing up when you say you will, with a plan that's already been thought through before you're standing in the framing.

The Turnaround

Forty-eight hours from first call to a fully mapped plan for the whole downstairs isn't rushed work. It's the result of having done this enough times to know exactly what to look for and ask on-site.

Getting Started

If you're a contractor or builder who needs someone reliable at rough-in, I'd like to be that call.
