While the total number of historic buildings across the entire city varies, our work focuses on the four primary historic districts that form the heart of San Francisco’s architectural identity: Alamo Square, Pacific Heights, Haight-Ashbury, and the Mission District.
These neighborhoods are home to thousands of iconic Victorian and Edwardian structures, including Queen Anne, Stick-Eastlake, Italianate, and Spanish Colonial Revival styles. Each district has specific requirements for restoration and maintenance:
- Alamo Square: Characterized by Victorian and Queen Anne homes that often require Whole Home Rewiring to replace outdated knob-and-tube systems.
- Pacific Heights: Known for Edwardian and Italianate architecture where we frequently perform Lighting Restoration and service upgrades.
- Haight-Ashbury: Famous for its Stick-Eastlake Victorians that often need modern GFCI Outlet Installation and surge protection.
- Mission District: Contains Spanish Colonial Revival and Victorian buildings often requiring EV Charger Installation prep and panel modernizations.
When restoring these landmarks, we coordinate closely with the San Francisco Planning Department and the Preservation Commission to ensure all electrical upgrades—such as Electrical Panel Installation or concealed wiring—comply with Article 10 and the 2022 Building Code.
Safety notice: Electrical work is hazardous—do not attempt DIY. All work must comply with local electrical codes and permits; consult a licensed electrician for advice and final scope.
