Pirro Electric handles commercial electrical for homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Alexandria, VA. Work is scoped on site, quoted in writing, permitted, and inspected before we call it done. Typical scope: new construction and tenant build-outs, office circuitry, data, and lighting installation, and underground wiring and electric meter setup.
Old Town Alexandria's 18th- and 19th-century rowhomes often still have surface-mounted knob-and-tube remnants, undersized services, and original fuse panels behind walls that have been renovated multiple times, so any real electrical work there also has to go through the Board of Architectural Review because of the historic district. Del Ray's early-1900s bungalows and Rosemont's older single-family homes have a mix of original wiring and 1960s-era aluminum branch circuits that need remediation.
Twenty Years Wiring DC-Area Commercial Properties
Pirro Electric has served as a commercial electrical contractor across Washington, D.C., Montgomery County, and Northern Virginia since 2003. From single-tenant retail fit-outs to multi-building portfolios, our master electricians plan, permit, and execute electrical infrastructure that passes inspection the first time.
We work directly with property managers, general contractors, and building owners - so scope, schedule, and budget stay aligned from day one. Every job is insured and backed by Maryland, D.C., and Virginia electrical licenses.
Tenant Improvements & New Build-Outs
Whether you're delivering a vanilla shell or a turnkey buildout, we handle the full electrical scope: branch circuits, lighting, dedicated equipment circuits, low-voltage rough-ins, panel additions, and final trim. We coordinate with HVAC, plumbing, and IT trades so your space opens on time.
Common tenant work includes office and medical fit-outs, restaurant kitchens and hood circuits, retail lighting, and warehouse high-bay installations.

- Existing infrastructure condition (aluminum wiring, FPE panels, undersized service)
- Coordination with other trades on active construction sites
