Our Work
Benefits
Wiring for Tomorrow's Living
We future‑proof Atwater homes with scalable electrical design: smart AFCI/GFCI breakers, whole‑home surge protection, structured cabling (Cat6), and EV‑ready circuits. Where appropriate, we add empty conduits and homeruns for future kitchen, office, or ADU loads. Options include smart panels with energy monitoring, Lutron smart dimming, and solar/battery‑ready pathways. Our designs anticipate tomorrow’s appliances, HVAC, and workspace needs so you can expand without opening walls again.
Expert Permitting and Compliance
Shaffer Construction manages permits with LADBS, coordinates LADWP meter releases, and schedules rough and final inspections. We build to the 2022 California Electrical Code and Los Angeles amendments, Title 24 lighting requirements, and LARC smoke/CO rules. Expect correctly labeled panels, compliant kitchen/bath/laundry circuits, and proper grounding/bonding. We provide inspection-ready documentation, load calculations, and as‑built updates so approvals go smoothly the first time.
Skilled, Trusted Workmanship
We use UL‑listed materials matched to your home: NM‑B (Romex) for eligible single‑family interiors, EMT conduit with THHN/THWN‑2 where exposed, and weather‑rated fittings outdoors. Circuits are torqued to manufacturer specs, penetrations fire‑sealed, and boxes sized per NEC fill. Receptacle spacing meets modern code, and every circuit is neatly labeled. Expect clean cuts in plaster, protective floor covers, and daily tidy‑ups that respect your living space.
Personalized Rewiring Solutions
Every rewire starts with a detailed assessment and load calculation. We map circuits room by room, plan outlet counts and spacing, and design dedicated lines for kitchen appliances, HVAC, and home office gear. For bungalows and Spanish Colonials, we route from attic and crawlspace to minimize wall openings. You’ll review a clear plan showing fixture locations, switch logic, low‑voltage drops, and options for EV, outdoor lighting, and future ADU needs.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to move out during a complete rewire in Atwater Village?+
Usually not. We phase work room‑by‑room and set up temporary power to your fridge, Wi‑Fi, and essentials. There will be brief planned outages and some dust, but we use protection and daily cleanup. For faster turnarounds, some clients choose short stays elsewhere during the heaviest work.
How long will power be out, especially if I’m upgrading my panel?+
A typical whole‑home rewire takes 5–15 days of on‑site work. During a panel upgrade, expect a full‑day outage for meter pulls and tie‑ins. We coordinate LADWP meter spots and schedule the cutover to minimize downtime; most other days, only short circuit‑specific shutdowns are needed.
Will you need to open my plaster walls?+
We minimize openings by fishing from attic and crawlspace and using baseboard and closet pathways. Some strategic holes are unavoidable for safe, code‑compliant routing and box placement. We perform neat cuts and can coordinate patch/paint. Our goal is an upgrade that looks original once finished.
