Our Work
Benefits
Upgrading for Tomorrow's Needs
We future‑proof your corrections using smart, scalable solutions: dual‑function AFCI/GFCI breakers, whole‑home surge protection (CEC 230.67), and load centers ready for smart monitoring. For EV readiness in shared garages, we design circuits that comply with NEC Article 625 and can integrate EV energy management systems. We specify JA8-compliant LED lighting and vacancy sensors where required by Title 24, and offer options like smart panels and submetering to simplify future upgrades without rework.
Permits and Full Compliance
Shaffer Construction handles permitting end‑to‑end. We prepare code‑compliant plans, submit to the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division, and coordinate inspections to match HOA schedules. Our work follows the 2022 California Electrical Code (Title 24, Part 3), CALGreen provisions for residential projects, and West Hollywood Municipal Code. We document corrections, labeling, and load calculations so inspectors have everything they need for a first‑pass approval.
Quality You Can Trust
Quality starts with materials and methods: copper conductors, listed connectors for aluminum remediation (AlumiConn), tamper‑resistant and weather‑resistant receptacles, properly sized raceways, and NEMA‑rated enclosures. We correct panel terminations per manufacturer torque specs, separate neutrals and grounds in subpanels, and provide clear directory labeling. Our team adheres to lockout/tagout, insulation resistance testing where appropriate, and thermal scans to verify safe operation after corrections.
Thorough Inspection & Design
Every building is different. We start with a room‑by‑room assessment, panel inspection, and code gap checklist focused on your property type: Spanish Revival homes near Melrose, townhomes off Fountain, or high‑rise condos by Doheny. We prioritize life‑safety and high‑impact corrections first, then sequence work to minimize unit downtime. Detailed plans include materials, circuit maps, access requirements, and HOA coordination so everyone knows exactly what will happen and when.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for electrical corrections in a West Hollywood condo?+
Many corrections do require a permit, especially panel work, new circuits, EV charging, or significant device replacements. Minor like‑for‑like device swaps may not, but it’s best to verify. We evaluate your scope, advise on permitting, and submit to the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division when needed, coordinating with your HOA for access and scheduling.
How long do electrical code corrections take in West Hollywood?+
On‑site correction work typically takes 1–5 days depending on the number and complexity of violations. If a permit is required, expect 1–3 weeks for city processing and inspection scheduling. We prioritize life‑safety items first and sequence work by unit or area to minimize downtime for residents and building operations.
Can you coordinate meter pulls or shutoffs with Southern California Edison?+
Yes. For panel replacements or service equipment work, we coordinate meter releases and any necessary shutoffs with Southern California Edison. We also work with building managers to schedule common‑area access and ensure safe, code‑compliant lockout/tagout procedures during the work.
What are common violations you find in older WeHo apartments?+
Frequent issues include non‑AFCI living areas, missing GFCI in kitchens/baths, aluminum branch wiring without proper connectors, double‑lugged neutrals, obsolete Zinsco/FPE panels, missing bonding jumpers, open junction boxes, and Title 24 lighting noncompliance in common areas. We prioritize corrections that address fire/shock risks first, then bring the remainder up to current code.
Will electrical corrections damage my walls or finishes?+
Most corrections are minimally invasive. Device and panel work typically uses existing openings. If new boxes or wiring are needed, we plan routes to reduce impact and will discuss any patch/paint needs in advance. In design‑sensitive homes near the Design District, we protect surfaces and coordinate with your designer or GC as needed.
Can you help make our garage EV‑ready in a multifamily building?+
Absolutely. We perform load calculations, design dedicated EV circuits, and can integrate EV energy management systems to comply with NEC Article 625. We coordinate permits, SCE requirements, and HOA rules, and plan installations to maintain clearances and egress in shared garages.
Picture a 1960s courtyard building off Santa Monica Boulevard that just cleared its final inspection: every outlet grounded, every circuit properly labeled, the panel upgraded to handle modern loads without flinching. That's the difference between a home that passes and a home that's genuinely safe. Whether you own a boutique condo along the Sunset Strip or a multifamily property near the Pacific Design Center, code compliance corrections aren't just about satisfying an inspector, they're about protecting your investment and the people living in it. Old wiring behind those classic WeHo walls can hide serious hazards, and we've seen it all: ungrounded receptacles, overcrowded panels, amateur work from decades of flip-and-rent cycles. Shaffer Construction holds A, B, and C-10 licenses: so we can handle structural, general building, and electrical work under one contract instead of juggling three contractors for one correction job. Our office handles permitting directly with the City of West Hollywood, which means fewer delays and no miscommunication between trades. With 25 years and over a thousand projects across Los Angeles, our crews know what WeHo inspectors look for and how to get corrections approved cleanly the first time. Ready to get your property up to code? Call (323) 642-8509 or email hello@shaffercon.com: we'll walk through the violations, lay out a clear correction plan, and give you a straightforward path to compliance.
