What makes electrical services different in Westwood
Westwood's residential streets sit south of UCLA and east of the 405. The Westwood Hills and Holmby Westwood blocks carry pre-war estates with original lath-and-plaster, single-pane windows, and undersized electrical service. Closer to the Village, post-war traditionals and a few mid-century moderns dominate. Most kitchens and bathrooms in Westwood need full MEP rework when remodeled — code-compliance is the floor, not the ceiling.
Most Westwood homes were built before 1980. That means galvanized supply lines, undersized electrical panels, original gas runs, and rough-in plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades. Once walls open during a electrical services project, we expect to bring the underlying systems to current code — not as a surprise, as a plan.
Common architecture in Westwood: Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, Traditional. We design westside renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.
