Benefits
Innovative Installations for the Future
We install modern, energy-smart fans and lighting with scalable controls that grow with your home. Options include Lutron Caséta fan controls, wireless dual-controls for light and fan, and smart fans from Haiku, Minka Aire, Hunter, and Casablanca that integrate with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Alexa. We ensure neutral conductors at switch locations for future smart upgrades, use deep boxes to maintain conductor fill, and specify ENERGY STAR and Title 24–compliant fixtures where applicable, so your system remains flexible and efficient over time.
Licensed, Permitted, and Inspected
Shaffer Construction manages LADBS permitting, inspection scheduling, and code compliance from start to finish. We build to the California Electrical Code (based on NEC), L.A. City amendments, and Title 24 JA8 lighting requirements where applicable. Bedrooms and living spaces receive AFCI protection per code, and outdoor locations use GFCI and weather-rated equipment. For canal-front and coastal projects, we specify damp/wet-rated fixtures and corrosion-resistant materials to meet both code and environmental demands, and we help navigate HOA rules and coastal-zone considerations.
Top-Quality Workmanship Guaranteed
We use UL-listed, fan-rated boxes and braces (70–150 lb ratings), stainless or coated fasteners for coastal durability, and vibration-isolating mounts to protect lath-and-plaster ceilings. Conductors are copper with proper gauge (12 AWG/14 AWG as required), terminations are torque-verified, and connections are made with premium connectors. We balance blades, set correct downrod lengths, and verify clearances for quiet, wobble-free operation. Every installation is megger-tested as needed, continuity-checked, and labeled for future service clarity.
Custom Solutions for Every Home
We start with an in-home assessment to measure ceiling heights, slopes, joist direction, and airflow needs by room size and layout. We help you select fan sizes and lighting styles that fit Venice’s architectural variety—from compact hugger fans for canal cottages to statement fixtures for modern living rooms. Our plans include control strategies (dimmers, dual-controls, smart options), placement for optimal CFM, and material selections suited to salt air. You’ll get a clear scope, finish-protection plan, and schedule before work begins.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace a ceiling fan in Venice?+
Like-for-like replacements in the same location may not require a permit. New fan locations, new circuits, or structural bracing typically do. We evaluate your scope and, when needed, secure an LADBS electrical permit and coordinate inspections. For exterior fans or lights in the Venice Coastal Zone, we’ll advise on any additional clearances.
What type of fan is best for Venice’s salty, coastal air?+
Choose damp- or wet-rated fans with sealed bearings, stainless or coated fasteners, and marine-suitable finishes. Brands offering coastal-rated models perform best. For covered porches, select wet-rated units and weatherproof boxes; indoors, damp-rated options resist corrosion and extend service life.
Can you install fans on sloped or high ceilings in our modern home?+
Yes. We use manufacturer sloped-ceiling adapters and calculate the correct downrod to keep blades 8–9 feet from the floor and 18 inches from walls. We also size the fan by room volume and target CFM to move air effectively in tall, open spaces common in modern Venice architecture.
We live in a canal-front condo with an HOA—can you handle approvals and noise concerns?+
We provide detailed scopes and product specs for HOA packets, schedule within quiet hours, and use vibration-isolating mounts to reduce noise transfer. For concrete ceilings, we select appropriate anchors or surface-mount solutions to meet building rules without compromising performance or safety.
