Whether you run a restaurant on Lake Avenue, manage office space near Caltech, or are rebuilding after the Eaton Fire in northeast Pasadena, the right lighting changes how customers experience your property, and how your team works inside it. LED retrofits typically cut energy use by 40–60% in commercial settings, and modern dimming systems let you shift from bright task lighting to ambient evening glow without swapping fixtures. For fire-damaged commercial properties going through reconstruction, this is the moment to upgrade from old fluorescent troffers and incandescent cans to a system that actually serves your business long-term. Shaffer Construction holds California CSLB licenses in General Engineering (A), General Building (B), and Electrical (C-10), a combination most LA contractors don't carry. That matters when your lighting project touches structural elements, requires panel work, or involves City of Pasadena permitting for commercial tenant improvements. With in-house permitting handled by our office and 25+ years of project experience across Los Angeles, our crews manage the full scope without subcontractor handoffs. Mike Shaffer leads the company and stands behind every project, but the skilled crew on your site are the ones doing the work. Ready to talk through what your Pasadena property needs?
