Our Work



Benefits
Modern, Energy-Efficient Solutions
We future‑proof your space with modern fan and lighting control options: wireless Lutron Vive or comparable systems for fast retrofit, RF wall controls and remotes, and integrated occupancy/daylight sensors to reduce energy use. For multi‑fan zones—like fitness studios or open offices—we synchronize speeds and schedules, and select efficient DC‑motor fans for quieter operation. Where needed, we interface with existing BAS/EMS, allowing building‑wide control without invasive rewiring.
Flawless Permits and Compliance
Shaffer Construction manages the entire permitting path with LADBS, prepares documentation, and schedules inspections. We build to the 2022 California Electrical Code, Los Angeles amendments, and Title 24 lighting control requirements, and we install fan supports per NEC/CEC 314.27(C). Our team verifies clearances, mounting heights, and seismic fastening best practices for overhead devices in commercial spaces—delivering compliant installs that pass inspection the first time.
Trusted Commercial Craftsmanship
We use UL‑listed, fan‑rated boxes and braces, quality hardware, and copper conductors sized for the load. On high ceilings, we deploy scissor lifts and laser plumb tools for precise downrod alignment and even blade clearance. We balance every fan, secure anti‑vibration hardware, and torque all fasteners to spec. For fixtures, we choose appropriate anchors for plaster, concrete, or wood framing and ensure clean, low‑profile conduit runs where exposed.
Tailored Design and Integration
Every project starts with a site‑specific plan: ceiling height and structure, airflow goals, CFM needs by area, and brand aesthetics. We match blade span and downrod length to keep fan blades at about 8–9 feet above finished floor, select damp‑rated units for patios, and coordinate lighting optics for counters and product displays. We also align control strategies with Title 24—integrating vacancy/occupancy sensors and daylighting zones without compromising your layout.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for ceiling fan or lighting installation in my Atwater Village shop?+
Most commercial fan installs and any new or relocated fixtures require an LADBS electrical permit. Simple like‑for‑like fixture swaps can be over‑the‑counter; new circuits or Title 24 control changes may need plan check. We pull the permit, coordinate inspections, and keep your project on schedule.
Can you install fans in a high, bow‑truss warehouse near Casitas Avenue?+
Yes. We assess truss capacity and connection points, use UL fan‑rated supports, specify proper downrods, and add vibration control. Where needed, we coordinate with a structural engineer for anchorage details and provide scissor lifts for safe access, ensuring clearances and balanced airflow across open floor areas.
What size fan works best for a 12–14 foot ceiling in a retail space?+
We typically recommend 60–72 inch fans for 12–14 ft ceilings, with downrods set to keep blades about 8–9 ft above the floor. For larger zones or open plans, multiple smaller fans can deliver more even coverage. We’ll verify CFM needs by square footage and layout before specifying models.
Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting customers and staff?+
Absolutely. We commonly schedule after‑hours or early‑morning installs for Atwater Village retailers, studios, and restaurants. Most locations take a half day to one day per fan or fixture zone, and we leave the area clean and ready for business when you reopen.
