Why Choose Caudill’s for Structured Cabling in Winston-Salem
| What Matters | The Caudill’s Difference | With Other Providers |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed Electricians | Every job goes through a licensed, insured electrician. You get code-compliant work and someone accountable for the outcome. | Many cabling contractors hold only a low-voltage license. They can’t legally handle the electrical side of an in-wall installation. |
| In-Wall Experience | Caudill’s electricians have spent decades running wire through Winston-Salem homes and commercial buildings. They know what to expect before the job starts. | Contractors without an electrical background often encounter aging wiring or structural obstacles they can’t handle. |
| Reputation & Reviews | 250+ five-star Google reviews from Triad homeowners and businesses. Our reputation holds up job after job. | Newer or transient contractors often have limited review history and no track record in the area. |
| Clean Installation | We run cables through walls and label every port. We test everything before we leave. Your home or business looks exactly as it did when we arrived. | Rushed installations often leave unlabeled ports and visible cable runs for the customer to deal with. |
Wiring Winston-Salem’s Buildings the Right Way
Winston-Salem presents cabling challenges that go beyond what a basic low-voltage technician handles.
Innovation Quarter’s
converted buildings make up one of the most complex commercial cabling environments in the Triad. Since 2012, the district has completed 1.7 million square feet of space built inside former R.J. Reynolds tobacco warehouses. These buildings have thick masonry walls and dense floor plans. Original industrial conduit runs through many of them. Our licensed electricians know how to work through each obstacle without cutting corners on code compliance.
Ardmore and West End
rank among Winston-Salem’s most active residential neighborhoods. Most Ardmore homes date to between 1910 and 1924. They have plaster-and-lath walls, not standard drywall. Running cable through those walls is a different job entirely. A contractor who doesn’t know what’s inside them can crack plaster or stall the project. Our crew works in these homes cleanly.
Across Forsyth County
approximately 33,416 single-family homes built between 1930 and 1969 still stand within city limits. Today’s households run smart home systems and streaming devices alongside standard computers and phones. None of that existing wiring handled this load when it went in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a licensed electrician for data wiring, or can any contractor do it?
Low-voltage cabling doesn’t always require a licensed electrician by code, but it should. Running cable through walls means working around your electrical system and structural elements. In older Winston-Salem homes, what’s behind the wall isn’t always predictable. A licensed electrician knows how to navigate those conditions safely and bring the work up to code.
Will you need to open my walls to run the cable?
In most cases, no. Our electricians fish cable through walls with minimal disruption, using existing pathways wherever possible. In older homes with plaster walls, we keep any intrusion to a minimum and leave the area clean before we go.
Is structured cabling worth it if I already have Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi depends on a wired backbone to perform well. Wireless access points still need a hardwired connection to deliver reliable coverage. Devices like security cameras and VoIP phones perform better on a direct wired connection. Structured cabling doesn’t replace Wi-Fi. It makes Wi-Fi work the way it’s supposed to.
