What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace outlets and switches in Culver City?+
Simple like-for-like device replacements typically don’t require a permit. If you’re adding new outlets, relocating switches, running new circuits, or modifying your panel, Culver City’s Building and Safety Division generally requires permits and inspections. We’ll confirm your project scope, file permits as needed, and coordinate inspections. Most permits for small residential work move in 1–3 weeks.
Can you convert my two-prong outlets in a 1930s bungalow to three-prong safely?+
Yes. We test for an existing grounding path (such as metal conduit). If none exists, options include installing GFCI protection with “No Equipment Ground” labeling, or running new grounded circuits for full compliance. We’ll discuss pros/cons, costs, and, if needed, panel updates to ensure safety without damaging original plaster or tile.
Will smart dimmers work with my LED fixtures without flicker?+
They can, when matched correctly. We specify dimmers compatible with your LED drivers, set low-end trim to prevent flicker, and, in older homes without a neutral, use systems like Lutron Caséta that can operate reliably. We’ll test a sample location first and recommend dimmable bulbs certified for use with the chosen dimmer.
Think of your Helms Bakery District loft with fixtures that actually work, modern USB outlets that charge your phone without clutter, dimmer switches that let you dial in the exact mood for entertaining, and new GFCI protection in the right spots so you're not fighting outdated, unreliable gear. Or your Hayden Tract bungalow where smart dimmers play nice with LED bulbs, no flicker, no weird dimmer hum. We're talking about electrical controls that disappear into your space: they just work, they look right, and they're code-compliant. That's the outcome. Shaffer Construction holds three California CSLB licenses (A, B, and C-10), which matters because most LA contractors carry C-10 alone. We handle permitting in-house, which sidesteps delays and surprise fees, the City of Culver City gets what they need, you get a clear timeline. Twenty-five years and over a thousand projects in Los Angeles mean we know what works, what inspectors want, and how to do it without drama. Owner-led by Mike Shaffer, he manages the business and crews execute the work, and Shaffer Construction stands behind every job. Ready to upgrade? Call or text (323) 642-8509, or email hello@shaffercon.com. We'll talk through what you're trying to achieve, give you a clear estimate, and get you scheduled, often within a week. Straightforward, fast, and done right.
