How we can help

Much of what we do is everyday electrical work that keeps a property safe and functional, alongside the upgrades that prepare it for new demands. Either way, you get clear communication and a licensed C-10 team on the job.

Residential electrical

When something electrical goes wrong at home, or when you are ready to improve it, our residential electrical services are built for the job. We handle repairs and troubleshooting, add and replace outlets and switches, install lighting and fans, and update wiring so your home keeps pace with how you live.

Permits and inspections in Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa has its own building permit process. The City of Santa Rosa Building Division, part of Development Services under Planning and Economic Development, issues building permits. One application can cover building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing work on a project, and applications go through the city Accela Citizen Access portal. Only properly licensed contractors or owner-builders can obtain permits, and the city asks you to finish any discretionary review before applying for the building permit.

That is the reason to hire a licensed contractor for panel upgrades, subpanels, EV charger circuits and generator hookups. J&J Electric is a licensed C-10 electrical contractor (license 1078243) and is based here in Santa Rosa at 3200 Dutton Ave #223. We pull permits where a project calls for one.

City neighborhoods such as Coffey Park, Fountaingrove, Rincon Valley, Roseland and the West End each have their own pages on this site, because their housing and fire histories differ. Inside Santa Rosa, in person permit meetings are by appointment only according to the city, so it helps to submit through the portal first.

Power and outages in Santa Rosa

In Santa Rosa, Sonoma Clean Power supplies the electricity and PG&E delivers it. Sonoma Clean Power keeps a customer center at 741 Fourth Street in Santa Rosa, and PG&E stays responsible for outages and for the poles, lines and substations. If you are adding solar, a battery or a charger, both organizations may be part of the process.

Outages are a real planning factor. When PG&E shut off power in October 2019, Santa Rosa had 27,354 customers affected, the largest number for any Sonoma County community on the list that day. A standby generator with a transfer switch, or a battery system, keeps refrigeration, medical devices, sump pumps and internet running.

Santa Rosa homes and fire rebuild history

Santa Rosa is the county seat of Sonoma County and the largest city in the region, with about 178,000 residents at the 2020 census. It was founded in 1833 and incorporated in 1868, so the housing stock spans well over a century: wood homes near downtown, mid-century subdivisions, and new construction. Railroad Square is a historic district of brick buildings, many built after the 1906 earthquake, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Older buildings often have outdated wiring, undersized panels and limited circuits.

The Tubbs Fire in October 2017 destroyed about 5 percent of the city homes, roughly 2,900 homes by one count. Coffey Park and Fountaingrove were among the hardest hit areas, and many of those properties were rebuilt with new service equipment. The Glass Fire in 2020 also affected parts of Santa Rosa.

Planning electrical work in Santa Rosa

Large local employers include the County of Sonoma, Kaiser Permanente and Santa Rosa Junior College, and the city sits on the Hayward and Rodgers Creek fault system, which is one more reason to have equipment properly secured and installed to code. For an older home, a rebuild or a small commercial space, start with a walkthrough and a written scope. Call J&J Electric at (707) 480-8331 for a free written quote.

Santa Rosa also sits on the Santa Rosa Plain about 55 miles north of San Francisco along US Route 101, with a Mediterranean climate of cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Landmarks include the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Luther Burbank Home and Gardens.

Santa Rosa annexed the Roseland area on November 1, 2017, adding about 715 acres across five formerly unincorporated islands. A five percent Utility User Tax was added to monthly PG&E bills in the annexed area, according to local reporting at the time. For anyone buying or renovating there, that history means older county era records and newer city requirements can both come into play.

Panel upgrades, EV charging and backup power

When a property needs more capacity, our electrical panel upgrades replace an aging or undersized main panel.
