Pirro Electric handles luxury home wiring for homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Gaithersburg, MD. Work is scoped on site, quoted in writing, permitted, and inspected before we call it done. Typical scope: whole-home electrical design from architectural plans, 400a, 600a & 800a residential service entrances, and smart-home pre-wire (lutron, control4, crestron, savant).
Gaithersburg has one of the most varied building stocks in Montgomery County. Olde Towne Gaithersburg has early-1900s wood-frame houses with knob-and-tube remnants and later add-on wiring that was never brought up to a real standard.
Electrical Built for the Way Luxury Homes Actually Live
A custom home in Potomac, Bethesda, McLean, Great Falls, or Kalorama isn't wired like a tract house. Square footage doubles or triples, mechanical loads stack up - induction ranges, dual ovens, steam showers, indoor pools, EV chargers, geothermal pumps, elevators - and the architecture asks the electrical to disappear. Pirro Electric has wired luxury custom homes across the DMV since 2003, and we design every system around how the home is going to be lived in for the next forty years, not just how it passes rough-in.
We work directly from architectural and interior design plans, sit in on owner-architect-builder meetings, and produce a whole-home electrical scope before a single hole gets drilled. That means panel sizing, sub-panel locations, lighting control zones, and the low-voltage backbone are all decided up front - not bolted on after drywall.
Lighting Design That Makes the Architecture
In a high-end home, lighting is architecture. We lay out trimless and micro-aperture downlights, linear cove and toe-kick, integrated millwork lighting, exterior facade washing, landscape path and tree uplighting, and tunable-white circadian systems - coordinated with the architect, lighting designer, and millworker so fixtures land exactly where the drawings call for them.
Every keypad, scene, and dimmer gets programmed and labeled. Lutron HomeWorks, RadioRA 3, Crestron, Control4, and Savant systems are commissioned in-house. You hand the homeowner a finished system on day one - not a binder of unconfigured keypads.

- Lighting fixture count and control system complexity (Lutron HomeWorks vs. RadioRA, Crestron, Control4, Savant)
- Low-voltage scope - CAT6A drops, AV rough-in, distributed audio, surveillance, shading
- Sub-panel count and distribution across floors and detached structures

Local Conditions We Work Around in Gaithersburg
Montgomery Village, built mostly in the 1970s and 1980s, has whole clusters of townhomes with aluminum branch wiring and original panels, some Federal Pacific, now decades past their design life. Quince Orchard's larger single-family homes commonly still run on 100-amp services that were fine before central air, home offices, and EV chargers all landed on the same panel. Rio, Washingtonian, Crown, and Watkins Mill represent the newer end: mixed-use buildings and retail spaces that need frequent tenant fit-outs as businesses turn over. All of it runs through Montgomery County DPS permitting, with Pepco as the utility for service and meter work. Being headquartered here in Gaithersburg, this is the territory we know best.
Gaithersburg Housing Stock
A mix of every era: 1900s Olde Towne, 1960s-70s split-levels, 1990s Kentlands new-urbanist, 2000s Lakelands and Quince Orchard custom homes, and 2010s-plus Crown and Watkins Mill mid-rise. Aluminum branch wiring shows up in scattered 1970s subdivisions.
Permits & Utility Coordination in Gaithersburg
The City of Gaithersburg has its own permit office running in parallel with Montgomery County DPS, so we file based on the address. Crown and Washingtonian Center commercial spaces require landlord coordination and often after-hours work windows.
