Workshop and Shed Wiring in Cape Coral

Complete Electrical Service for Detached Workshops, Sheds, and Outbuildings

Workshop and Shed Wiring Services

Whether you have a woodworking shop, an art studio, a man cave, or a garden shed, having proper electrical service transforms a basic outbuilding into a fully functional workspace. Running extension cords from your house is inconvenient, limits what you can power, and violates electrical codes for permanent installations. Project Pros installs complete electrical systems in detached buildings throughout Cape Coral, from basic lighting and outlets to full workshop setups with 240V power and sub-panels.

Underground Feeder from Main Panel

Powering a detached building requires running a feeder circuit from your main electrical panel to the outbuilding. This typically involves underground conduit buried to code depth (18-24 inches) with appropriately sized conductors. The feeder size depends on your planned usage: a basic shed with lighting and a few outlets may only need a 20-amp circuit, while a serious workshop with power tools, air compressor, and welder needs a 60-amp or 100-amp sub-panel. We trench, install conduit, pull wire, and backfill with minimal disruption to your yard.

Interior Wiring and Layout

Inside your workshop or shed, we install a complete electrical system including a sub-panel for circuit distribution, 120V outlets on dedicated 20-amp circuits, 240V outlets for heavy equipment, overhead LED lighting sized for your workspace, task lighting over workbenches and equipment areas, and exterior lighting for nighttime access and security. All outlets in workshops and sheds require GFCI protection per code, and we ensure adequate circuit separation so that running one tool does not trip the breaker for your lights or other equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to wire my shed?

Yes. Running electrical service to a detached building in Cape Coral requires a permit and inspection. This includes the underground feeder, sub-panel, and all interior wiring. Our team handles the complete permitting process.

Can I just run an extension cord to my shed?

Extension cords are for temporary use only and cannot serve as permanent wiring. They are not rated for burial or outdoor long-term use, create trip hazards, and violate building codes. A proper underground feeder circuit provides safe, reliable, permanent power to your outbuilding.

How much does it cost to wire a detached workshop?

Costs vary based on the distance from your main panel and the level of service needed. A basic shed wiring job with a 20-amp circuit, lights, and a few outlets might cost $1,500-$2,500. A full workshop with a 60-amp sub-panel and multiple circuits typically runs $3,000-$5,000.
