Inspection & Code Violation Repairs
Code violations are more common than most homeowners realize. In fact, up to 44% of homes have code violations. This leaves them vulnerable to fines and insurance issues that become incredibly costly. Moreover, code violations make your home dangerous. You and your family run a greater risk of electric shock, electrical fires, and isolated power outages.
For example, if you have a 60-amp electrical service, then you may not be in local compliance if you live in Bethlehem, PA. In this case, an electrical service upgrade may be necessary (see below).

What Our Incredible Community Has To Say
Highly Recommend Shafnisky
Highly recommend Shafnisky! From the professional office staff to the owner of the company calling me back and leaving a very insightful detailed message, I was treated as a long time customer. Based on the professionalism that was received with a phone call from a non-customer, I could only imagine that type of excellence is carried forward with the service that they provide, and I would not hesitate to recommend their company!
I Would Not Recommend ANYONE Else
Shafnisky is at it again!!! I would not recommend ANYONE other than Shafnisky for electrical needs. Not only are they quick to respond, but they are respectful of your time and property and don't take advantage of you when you may already be in a vulnerable financial situation. I can't thank them enough for the thorough work they have completed. HIGHLY recommend!

The process can take up to 3 weeks, contingent on factors like the extent of adjustments needed, potential demolition, or new wall installations.
How Long Will I Be Without Power When Upgrading Or Rewiring My Home?

Rest assured, we can create temporary electrical connections to keep critical devices like oxygen machines operational during this period.

Having a legitimate authority inspect the work safeguards both you and your investment. A permit-backed inspection can offer added reassurance and invaluable protection against potential litigation.
