Loft wiring, panel upgrades, EV chargers, and smart lighting for Emeryville homeowners and live/work spaces.
Emeryville packs a lot into 1.2 square miles. Pixar, biotech, retail along Bay Street — and hundreds of live/work lofts and condos carved from former industrial buildings along Park Avenue, Doyle Street, and the San Pablo corridor. Open-ceiling conduit, exposed junction boxes, and patchwork circuits added piecemeal over decades.
We handle the work that keeps these spaces livable and to code. Panel upgrades for added loads, dedicated circuits for home offices and shop equipment, Level 2 EV chargers in loft garages, smart lighting for open-plan geometry. Newer condo + townhome work around Watergate and Hollis, plus commercial TI downtown.
Five minutes from our Oakland base — straight shot up San Pablo Avenue. We pull permits through the City of Emeryville Building Division, coordinate PG&E, and handle inspections start to finish.
Four issues on almost every Emeryville walkthrough. HOA rules + loft conversions make the work specific.

Why us in Emeryville
We schedule noisy work inside building-approved windows. Zero HOA complaints to date — we read the CC&Rs before we quote.

Yes. Level 2 charger installation is one of our most common Emeryville jobs — lofts, condos, and townhomes. We handle permitting through the City of Emeryville and coordinate with PG&E for any panel upgrades the charger requires.
Real tiers based on distance from the PG&E drop: within 10 ft = $5,000–$6,000; 10–30 ft or multiple pipes = $7,000–$8,000; beyond 30 ft (with PG&E approval) = $10,000–$12,000. Live/work conversions with new subpanels run separate.
