We handle the entire process—assessment, design, permits, installation, and inspections—so you get a smoother project and a safer home. Expect knowledgeable local guidance, clear timelines, and meticulous workmanship that protects your investment for years to come.

Benefits
Advanced Solutions for Tomorrow
We design rewires with tomorrow in mind—dedicated capacity for EV charging, solar/battery readiness, and smart-home controls. Our plans include neutrals in every switch box for automation, whole-home surge protection, and load centers ready for AFCI/GFCI breakers. Where practical, we install conduit pathways for future circuits and data. Preferred options include Leviton smart load centers, Lutron wireless dimming, and Cat6 low-voltage prewire so your Venice home scales with your needs.
Full Compliance and Permits
From ePlanLA submittals to coordinating LADBS rough and final inspections, we handle compliance end-to-end. Our installations follow the California Electrical Code with Los Angeles amendments, Title 24 lighting requirements, and local grounding/bonding standards. In the Coastal Zone, we guide you through City Planning’s Coastal Development Permit process and coordinate LADWP meter spots for service upgrades. Documentation, labels, and as-builts are provided so your records stay complete.
Quality Workmanship Guaranteed
We specify corrosion-resistant materials suited for Venice: copper conductors, WR/TR receptacles, in-use exterior covers, and stainless or coated fasteners. Exposed or damp locations get EMT or PVC conduit with THHN/THWN conductors; interior runs use NM-B (Romex) or MC cable per code. We torque terminals to manufacturer specs, apply antioxidant on aluminum lugs, and label every circuit. Clean cuts, strategic fishing, and HEPA dust control protect finishes while delivering durable results.
Custom Planning for Every Home
Every project starts with a room-by-room assessment and NEC Article 220 load calculation. We map dedicated circuits for kitchens, home offices, studios, and media rooms common in Venice homes, and we plan lighting layers for art and task zones. Historic plaster? We minimize openings and reuse cavities where safe. We coordinate with your GC or designer on fixture placement, smart controls, and device finishes that complement your canal bungalow or modern build.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a complete rewire take in Venice?+
Most whole-home rewires take 5–15 working days on site, depending on size, access, and panel upgrades. Add 1–2 weeks for LADBS permits and inspections; properties in the Venice Coastal Zone may require Coastal Development review that extends the overall timeline. We provide a detailed schedule after the initial assessment.
Can we live in the home during the rewire?+
Often yes. We set up temporary power for essentials like refrigeration, Wi‑Fi, and lighting, and phase work room-by-room with dust containment. For extensive plaster or large panel upgrades, a short relocation may be more comfortable. We’ll discuss options during planning so you can choose what works best.
Do you handle coastal and HOA requirements?+
Yes. We determine if your address falls within the Venice Coastal Zone and, if needed, coordinate a Coastal Development Permit with Los Angeles City Planning. We also review HOA or canal association rules for exterior work, staging, and access, and we schedule LADBS and LADWP as required.
