Our Work
Benefits
Up-to-Date Home Technology
We install smart dimmers and switches (e.g., Lutron Caséta/RadioRA 3, Leviton Decora Smart) that pair with Apple Home, Google, and Alexa for scenes, schedules, and voice control. For designer LEDs, we match forward-/reverse-phase dimmers to ELV/MLV drivers to minimize flicker and buzz. USB‑C Power Delivery receptacles future‑proof charging at 20–45W. We can also design 0–10V control for compatible fixtures in modern condos, ensuring scalable, app-based control without rewiring.
Code Compliance & Safety
Shaffer Construction handles permit applications, inspection coordination, and HOA documentation. Our work follows the California Electrical Code (2022 CEC), including GFCI (210.8), AFCI (210.12), tamper-resistant receptacles (406.12), box-fill (314.16), and Title 24 lighting control requirements. We verify grounding and bonding, label circuits, and provide compliance photos as needed for property managers and the West Hollywood Building and Safety Division.
Expert, Lasting Craftsmanship
We use spec‑grade devices from trusted brands (Lutron, Leviton, Hubbell), torque terminals to manufacturer specifications, and use UL‑listed lever connectors for secure pigtails. Plates are aligned, level, and color‑matched. For aluminum branch circuits, we use approved methods (e.g., AlumiConn) and CO/ALR‑rated devices where applicable. Every device is tested for polarity, grounding, and proper dimmer/LED compatibility to deliver quiet, consistent performance.
Personalized Design & Planning
Our process starts with a device and load assessment, noting fixture types, dimmer locations, and multi‑gang box constraints. We recommend dimmer types per fixture driver (ELV/MLV/triac) and plan 3‑way/multi‑location control for seamless use. In condos, we coordinate with building engineering for access, quiet hours, and shutoffs. You’ll receive curated device options—standard, GFCI/AFCI, USB‑C, smart controls—complete with finish selections that match your interior.
What We Offer
We offer a complete menu of outlet, switch, and dimmer solutions designed for West Hollywood homes and multi‑unit buildings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in West Hollywood to replace existing outlets or switches?+
Like‑for‑like replacements in the same location often proceed without a permit. If we add a new outlet, relocate a box, or extend circuits, the City of West Hollywood typically requires a permit and inspection. We’ll advise after a quick assessment and handle all paperwork and scheduling if permitting is needed.
How do you prevent LED flicker and dimmer buzzing in my condo?+
We identify your fixture drivers and select dimmers that match (ELV, MLV, or triac/forward‑reverse phase). We also ensure proper box fill and heat spacing in multi‑gang plates, set low‑end trim levels, and test at different loads. This approach dramatically reduces flicker and buzz common with generic dimmers.
Can you work within HOA rules and quiet hours on Santa Monica Boulevard or Fountain Avenue buildings?+
Yes. We coordinate access with the property manager, provide insurance/licensure documents, follow quiet hours, and protect common areas. For work requiring power shutoffs or elevator use, we schedule in advance to avoid disruption. Our crews specialize in tidy, fast device upgrades in multi‑unit environments.
