We are looking at redoing our siding. The biggest thing holding us back is how to handle the below situation. House is a 1955 model which means lots of "additions" over the years. It has three breaker boxes, with two being on the outside of the house. Ideally, we would like to clean up this area, simplify it, make few penetrations into the house. We have gotten a couple of siding bids and basically no one that does siding wants to touch this area because it is so complex. I think, I am not an electrician, someone could disconnect everything out side the house, pull all the wiring into the attic, and then run it out via 1-2 common tubes back to the breaker boxes. Additionally, maybe mounting the electrical boxes on PVC blocking to make the siding project around them more straight forward.

Maybe that is just a pipe dream on my part.

We have used a couple of electricians in the past, but I am not sure any of them owned a tape measure so we are looking for some new recommendations.

You are correct

That is not a hard project and putting the siding on around it is not either

Just gotta remember you maybe with electricity for a day or two

Here is how i would do it somewhat

And yes it is more work but it is the best option

Replace from the breaker panels down
Then get electrician to pull off all the panels
Install siding
Electrician puts all panels back on

Depending on your location i cannprobably drive out there sat morn if not to far and maybe give advice on how I would do it But if not i understand and not a problem

Just fyi. 1500-2300 to do the electrical is my guess

This guy did a bunch of work for us, and was very reasonable and showed up when he said he would, unlike a few other contractors. He is first call if I need an electrician again.
