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.
Your Melrose Avenue retail space, a Robertson Boulevard condo, or a mixed-use building near the Design District. They all depend on electrical finishing that's both invisible and indispensable. Modern outlets that operate silently, USB charging guests expect as standard, dimmer control precise enough to match your design intent without flicker or hum. In West Hollywood, where design sensibility meets daily function, those details determine whether a space feels complete or half-finished. Shaffer Construction handles outlet and dimmer installations properly: not as afterthoughts, but as integral parts of the environment you're building. What sets us apart is a combination most West Hollywood contractors don't offer. We carry a triple CSLB license: General, Building, and Electrical, which means permitting and code compliance are handled entirely in-house without outsourcing to third parties. We've completed over 1,000 projects across Los Angeles in 25+ years, giving us real familiarity with the specific permit processes and code standards the City of West Hollywood enforces for residential and mixed-use properties. Owner-operated means the business is accountable, not that the owner is on-site for every job, but that every project carries the weight of someone genuinely invested in protecting the company's reputation. If your West Hollywood property is ready for outlet or switch upgrades that combine code compliance, aesthetics, and lasting performance, call us at (323) 642-8509 or email hello@shaffercon.com. We'll talk through your options, handle all permitting with the City, and do the work right the first time.
