Richmond Hill and Woodhaven grew up around the turn of the twentieth century, and many blocks still have large wood-frame houses with porches, built long before modern electrical loads. Opening a wall in one of them can turn up knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-covered cable and splices from several eras, which is why we price rewiring here after a proper look rather than by the square foot.
Many of those houses were later split into two families, with a meter for each floor and a basement that has been finished more than once. Kew Gardens adds prewar apartment buildings and co-ops, where the work is apartment panels, riser questions and lighting in common areas.

Local conditions
What to know about Woodhaven
Kew Gardens/Woodhaven, the community district that also covers Richmond Hill, had a homeownership rate of 47.5 percent in 2024, above the citywide 32.7 percent and up 4.2 points since 2010. Many owners here live in one unit of a two-family house and rent the other, so a service upgrade usually has to serve two meters, two kitchens and two sets of air conditioners at once.
