Our Work
Benefits
Built for tomorrow
We design fan and fixture installations that scale as your business evolves. From smart, wireless wall controls to networked lighting platforms, we implement solutions that can expand without costly retrofits. We specify fan‑rated boxes, modular support systems, and dedicated circuits with headroom on the panel schedule. For high ceilings and open spaces, we engineer airflow strategies and sensor‑based controls. The result: an energy‑smart system today that’s ready for future occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and remote management.
Permits and compliance
Shaffer Construction handles LA County permitting, plan submittals, and inspections for you. We design to the 2022 California Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Title 24 Part 6 lighting controls, CALGreen, and local seismic bracing requirements. For installations near fire sprinklers, we coordinate with the LA County Fire Department and follow NFPA 13 spacing and clearance guidelines. Expect a clean, compliant closeout with as‑built documentation and labeled panel schedules.
Pro workmanship, proven materials
We use only UL‑listed, fan‑rated boxes and heavy‑duty braces anchored directly to structure, THHN/THWN conductors in EMT or MC cable, and corrosion‑resistant fasteners. Our crews dynamically balance fan blades, verify all torque specs, and use vibration‑dampening hardware for quiet operation. Lifts, harnesses, and lockout/tagout procedures are standard. From laser‑level alignment of pendant fixtures to thermal and amperage checks on new circuits, we deliver safe, long‑lasting installations built to California standards.
Thoughtful design and planning
Every project begins with a thorough site assessment: ceiling height and type, structural framing, panel capacity, and airflow or lighting goals. We model fan size and placement by CFM requirements, occupant zones, and clearance from sprinklers and existing lighting. Then we present a detailed plan—product options, control strategies, support methods, wiring routes, and permit requirements—along with an installation schedule that fits your operating hours. You’ll see costs, timelines, and any permitting steps upfront before work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to add ceiling fans in my Altadena commercial space?+
Often yes, especially when adding new circuits, multiple fans, or modifying wiring and supports. LA County Building and Safety (Alhambra office) issues electrical permits and performs inspections. We assess your project scope, secure all necessary permits, and schedule inspections to keep everything compliant and on track.
How long does installation take for multiple fans in an office, gallery, or cafe?+
Typical installation is a half day to one full day per location, depending on ceiling type, access, and support requirements. For multi‑fan projects, we often complete several units in a single evening or weekend shift. If new circuits or complex supports are required, we’ll sequence work to minimize downtime and coordinate inspections efficiently.
What size fans work best for high ceilings in Altadena’s historic buildings?+
Fan selection depends on ceiling height, room area, and airflow goals. For 12–20 ft ceilings, we typically recommend 52–60 inch fans or larger commercial models with appropriate downrods. We model CFM requirements, verify structural mounting points, and ensure proper clearance from sprinklers and lighting before recommending specific models and configurations.
Can you work after hours so we don’t disrupt customers or clients?+
Yes. We frequently schedule evening or weekend installations for offices, restaurants, galleries, and retail spaces. Our team brings containment and cleanup tools, and we coordinate with property managers or building owners to ensure safe access and a clean, ready‑to‑open space by morning.
