From the storefronts along Glendale Boulevard to production studios tucked near the LA River bike path, Atwater Village businesses rely on dependable power every day. Our Commercial Complete Electrical Rewiring service replaces aging systems with safe, code-compliant infrastructure designed for today's loads—POS systems, refrigeration, HVAC, lighting controls, and charging stations—without unnecessary downtime. Shaffer Construction, Inc. plans and phases work around your schedule, coordinates permits with LADBS, and delivers clean, precise installations that protect tenants, staff, and customers. Whether you operate a caf\u00e9 near the Atwater Village Farmers Market or a creative office off Fletcher Drive, we build the electrical backbone your business can grow on.
Our Work
Benefits
Future-Ready Electrical Solutions
We design infrastructure that scales: smart main panels with branch circuit metering, submetering for tenants, and networked energy monitoring. Our conduit sizing anticipates new circuits for espresso machines, workstations, and future EV charging. We use surge protection at service and distribution levels, and specify THHN/THWN-2 copper in EMT or MC cable as appropriate. Where desired, we integrate PoE or BACnet-ready pathways so lighting and HVAC controls can evolve with your business.
Permits and Local Compliance
Shaffer Construction manages LADBS ePlan submittals, coordinates plan check responses, and schedules inspections. We build to the Los Angeles Electrical Code (based on the 2022 California Electrical Code), California Title 24 Part 6, and CALGreen requirements. Our packages include stamped one-lines, panel schedules, and load calculations. For lighting controls, we coordinate with certified Acceptance Test Technicians to ensure your final sign-off is smooth and predictable.
Expert Workmanship Guaranteed
We install copper THHN/THWN-2 in EMT with steel boxes, or MC in concealed spaces per code. Panels and switchgear from Square D and Siemens, spec-grade Leviton/Hubbell devices, and listed fittings ensure longevity. Circuits are labeled, torque-verified, and documented in as-builts. Safety is non-negotiable: lockout/tagout, NFPA 70E PPE, and daily QC checklists. We finish with insulation resistance tests and infrared scans to verify a cool, balanced system.
Customized Commercial Planning
Every project starts with a mapped assessment of existing circuits, infrared scans for hotspots, and a load study tailored to your equipment. We create a phased plan to keep you open—off-hours work, temporary power, and zone-by-zone cutovers. Restaurateurs, retailers, studios, and offices get customized panel schedules, dedicated circuits, and clear timelines. You’ll see drawings, a disruption-minimizing schedule, and a communication plan before we pull a single wire.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we stay open during a rewiring project in Atwater Village?+
In most cases, yes. We create a phased plan with off-hours work, temporary power, and zone-by-zone cutovers so registers, refrigeration, and essential lighting remain live. We coordinate with your property manager and staff to schedule noisy or high-impact tasks after hours, then verify circuits daily so you’re ready for business.
What does commercial rewiring typically cost in Atwater Village?+
Costs vary with size, access, and service upgrades. Small retail bays may range from; cafés and restaurants with refrigeration and controls often run; multi-tenant buildings or full service upgrades can exceed $100,000. We provide a detailed scope, alternates, and a phasing plan to control costs while meeting code.
Do you coordinate LADWP service upgrades and new meters?+
Yes. We handle load studies, one-line diagrams, and applications with LADWP Service Planning. If a new transformer, meter stack, or larger service lateral is required, we coordinate trenching, shutdowns, and cutovers with minimal downtime, and align the schedule with LADBS inspections and utility availability.
How long will permitting take with LADBS?+
For commercial rewiring, expect 2–4 weeks for plan check and permit issuance, depending on scope and reviewer load. We submit complete packages to reduce back-and-forth, respond quickly to corrections, and often pre-schedule inspections so rough and final sign-offs keep your timeline on track.
