Shaffer Construction, Inc. specializes in Residential Electrical Code Compliance & Corrections tailored to Burbank's ranch-style, mid-century, and newer tract homes.

Our Work
Benefits
Future-Ready Installations
We correct today’s violations while preparing you for tomorrow. Expect smart-ready panels, whole-home surge protection, AFCI/GFCI upgrades, and clean labeling that simplifies future work. We provide digital circuit maps, load calculations, and photodocumentation. For A/V and studio spaces, we design dedicated, low-noise circuits with proper grounding. If you plan to add an EV charger or mini-split later, we size capacity and conduit now so you avoid rework and extra permits down the road.
Expert Knowledge of Permits
We handle permitting with the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division and coordinate with Burbank Water and Power for service work. Our corrections follow the California Electrical Code (based on NEC), California Residential Code, and Title 24, Part 6 lighting standards. We ensure proper labeling, disconnects, grounding/bonding, AFCI/GFCI protection, and smoke/CO updates where triggered—so you pass inspection cleanly and confidently.
Quality, Certified Workmanship
We use listed materials and proven methods: copper THHN/THWN‑2 conductors in EMT where required, dual‑function AFCI/GFCI breakers, tamper‑resistant receptacles, and CA Title 24/JA8‑compliant lighting. Lugs are torqued to spec with calibrated tools; aluminum service conductors receive anti‑oxidant; bushings and bonding jumpers protect metallic raceways. We verify box fill, derating, and conductor ampacity, then thermal-scan main terminations to confirm cool, stable connections.
Personalized Code Corrections Plan
Every Burbank home is different. We start with a room‑by‑room assessment, panel mapping, and a written punch list ranked by safety and cost. Then we complete load calculations (CEC Article 220), note Title 24 lighting needs, and design dedicated circuits for home theaters, studios, or EVs. You’ll get a clear scope, pricing options, and a schedule that minimizes downtime—whether you’re near Alameda Avenue, in Rancho, or along the Chandler Bikeway.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for electrical corrections in Burbank?+
Many corrections do require a permit, especially panel work, new circuits, or grounding/bonding upgrades. We handle applications with the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division and coordinate with BWP for service changes. Simple device replacements may be exempt, but we’ll confirm to ensure a smooth inspection process.
How long will code corrections take?+
Permits typically take 1–2 weeks if plan check is needed; some minor corrections can be permitted faster. On‑site correction work usually takes 1–5 days depending on how many violations exist. We prioritize life‑safety issues first and can often phase work to keep your home running comfortably.
Will corrections disrupt my home theater or studio setup?+
We plan around your equipment and schedule. Our team designs dedicated, properly grounded circuits, balances loads, and installs surge protection to protect sensitive gear. We label circuits clearly and coordinate brief shutdown windows so your A/V or editing work near the Media District sees minimal downtime.
What upgrades are commonly required during inspection?+
Expect AFCI/GFCI protection in required areas, corrected bonding/grounding, proper box fill, labeling, and Title 24/JA8 lighting compliance when fixtures are replaced. Inspections also commonly verify smoke and carbon monoxide alarms per CRC, so we include those checks and updates as part of your correction package.
