Panel upgrades, rewiring, and new construction electrical for Pasadena's historic homes and new builds.
Pasadena has one of the largest concentrations of early-20th-century Craftsman bungalows in Southern California, many built in the 1900s-1920s in and around neighborhoods like Bungalow Heaven. That vintage housing stock is the main reason panel upgrades and rewiring make up so much of our Pasadena work — original wiring from that era wasn't built for central air, modern kitchens, or an EV charger, and often needs a full panel replacement rather than a patch fix. Pasadena also runs its own Building & Safety Division separate from the City of Los Angeles, so permitting follows a different process than jobs inside LA city limits.

Troubleshooting aging circuits in historic housing.
Permits in Pasadena go through the city's own Building & Safety Division, not LADBS — we account for that when scheduling inspections. For properties near the San Gabriel foothills, outdoor electrical work also has to account for the area's brush-fire exposure.
