Electrician in West Adams, California

West Adams has some of the oldest housing stock in the city, Victorian and Craftsman homes plus a lot of small multi unit conversions. Knob and tube replacement is routine work here.

West Adams was the city's premier residential district at the turn of the twentieth century, built from the 1880s through the 1920s by people who rode the streetcar lines along Adams and Jefferson. The area has Queen Anne and Eastlake Victorians, Craftsman and Arts and Crafts homes, Mission Revival and Colonial Revival houses, and many period revival mansions, spread through historic districts like Lafayette Square, Harvard Heights and Adams-Normandie. Many large homes were later divided into apartments or boarding houses.

The wiring in West Adams can be as old as electricity in Los Angeles. We regularly see knob and tube, early metal conduit and cloth cable, with modern circuits spliced in during conversions or remodels. Large houses split into units often share a single undersized service. Owners call during restorations, when insurance carriers refuse to cover old wiring, when converting a house back to a single family home, and when legalizing or separately metering units in a divided house.
