Our Work
Benefits
Smart Installations for Modern Homes
We design installations that are compatible with today’s and tomorrow’s controls. From efficient DC-motor fans and ENERGY STAR models to app-enabled and voice-controlled units, we integrate fans with Lutron Caséta, Bond Bridge, or compatible smart home systems (Apple Home, Google, Alexa). We size fans by CFM and room dimensions, add neutral conductors for future smart switches where needed, and specify low-profile or slope-ceiling kits. The result: quiet, efficient airflow and flexible control—without rewiring later.
Permits and Safety Compliance
Shaffer Construction navigates LADBS permitting and inspections end-to-end. Our work adheres to the California Electrical Code (based on NEC) and Los Angeles City amendments. Where light kits are installed, we select high-efficacy, JA8-compliant LED options to align with Title 24 energy standards. We use UL-listed, fan-rated boxes and braces, verify grounding, and ensure conductor sizing and overcurrent protection are correct. Expect accurate documentation, clean inspections, and installations that pass the first time.
Expertise You Can Trust
We use fan-rated boxes (commonly 70–90 lb rated), heavy-duty adjustable braces secured to framing, and proper fasteners torqued to spec with threadlocker where appropriate. Conductors are landed with listed connectors (WAGO or equivalent), and aluminum circuits—if present—are treated with Al/Cu-rated devices and antioxidant. Blades are balanced, vibration is minimized with isolation grommets, and mounts are laser-checked for level. We protect floors and furnishings, manage dust on plaster ceilings, and leave your home spotless.
Customized Solutions for Every Home
Our process starts with measuring your room and ceiling height to size the fan correctly—typically 44–60 inches for living areas and 36–44 inches for bedrooms. We plan mounting methods for plaster, drywall, or concrete, select downrod lengths to keep blades ~8–9 feet above the floor, and provide slope adapters for pitched ceilings. We’ll discuss controls—pull chains, wall controls, or RF remotes—and ensure wiring supports separate light/fan control if desired. Every detail is customized to your space and style.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to add a new ceiling fan in Hollywood?+
Like-for-like fan or fixture replacements may not require a permit, but new locations, box upgrades, or new wiring typically do. We pull LADBS electrical permits when needed, coordinate the inspection, and ensure your installation meets Los Angeles City amendments to the California Electrical Code.
Can you install fans in lath-and-plaster ceilings without attic access?+
Yes. We use adjustable brace boxes designed to be installed from below, minimizing ceiling cuts and preserving plaster. We also manage dust control and touch-up-ready patches if a small access opening is required. Your fan will be anchored to solid framing for safe, wobble-free operation.
What if my condo has a concrete ceiling slab?+
We assess building rules and structure, then use appropriate anchors and low-profile boxes. If concealed wiring isn’t possible, we run neat, paintable surface raceway and specify low-profile or flush-mount fans. We coordinate with the HOA and building engineer to meet noise and aesthetic guidelines.
Why do some fans wobble or make noise, and how do you prevent it?+
Wobble usually comes from non–fan-rated boxes, poor bracing, or unbalanced blades. We install heavy-duty fan braces, level the mount, torque fasteners, and balance blades. DC-motor fans are inherently smoother and quieter; we recommend models with high CFM per watt and quality bearings.
