Commercial Complete Electrical Rewiring in Altadena

Project duration varies significantly with building size, damage extent, and operational constraints. Small retail or office spaces (1,000–3,000 sq ft) typically require 2–4 weeks of on-site electrical work. Larger buildings or multi-tenant properties (5,000–20,000+ sq ft) may require 6–12 weeks depending on scope and phasing requirements. Permitting through LA County Building and Safety adds 2–5 weeks (expedited processing available for documented fire recovery). We provide detailed schedules during planning showing phasing, critical milestones, and estimated completion dates.

Often yes, with proper planning and phasing. We commonly phase work area-by-area or by tenant space, install temporary power distribution to maintain essential services, and schedule the most disruptive work (service cutovers, main panel installations, distribution upgrades) during nights, weekends, or planned closure periods. For restaurants, retail, and offices with regular business hours, we coordinate detailed schedules with managers to minimize customer and operational impacts. You’ll receive a comprehensive phasing plan during design so you can plan staffing, communicate with customers, and maintain business operations to the greatest extent possible.

Most commercial property insurance policies with building coverage include fire damage restoration for electrical systems and equipment. We thoroughly document pre-loss conditions (using available records, photographs, and professional assessments), photograph fire damage from multiple angles, provide detailed restoration scopes and estimates formatted for insurance submission and adjuster review, and can work directly with insurance adjusters and public adjusters when authorized by property owners. Our proposals clearly separate insurance-covered fire damage restoration from optional improvements (such as upgraded service capacity, smart panels, enhanced surge protection, or EV charging infrastructure) to support accurate claims processing and informed decision-making.

Costs vary widely with building size, construction type, fire damage extent, service capacity requirements, tenant improvements, and accessibility factors. Small retail or office suites (1,000–3,000 sq ft), mid-size buildings (5,000–10,000 sq ft), and larger multi-tenant buildings all have different requirements. Pricing depends on scope, service capacity (up to 800A+ three-phase), number of tenants/meters, specialty systems, and finish requirements. After our comprehensive on-site assessment, we provide detailed, itemized proposals breaking down service equipment, distribution systems, branch circuits, lighting and controls, emergency systems, and options including EV charging, backup power, and solar/battery integration.
