We start by talking through how you use the space in your California garage, then design a layout: outlets at bench height, a ceiling grid of LED fixtures, and circuits sized for the biggest tools. Surface conduit keeps things clean on finished walls; in unfinished garages we run wiring in the framing.
Detached garages and shops in California and neighboring Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose get a sub panel fed by an underground run, with their own grounding electrode. We handle permits and inspections for every project in California.
