Lighting Services
Better Light, Wired Right.
Recessed, pendants, under-cabinet LED, landscape, smart dimmers — every fixture matched to the right driver and dimmer for flicker-free, code-compliant lighting.
What & Why
Drivers, dimmers, and the right fixture for the room.
Lighting work goes wrong when an LED-only dimmer is paired with an incompatible (non-dimmable) LED driver, or a wattage-restricted retrofit can is loaded with a non-IC fixture. We verify compatibility before we order, install with the right hardware, and tune the dimmer at the wall so your lights run flicker-free.
Recessed, pendants, under-cabinet, landscape, accent — single rooms or a whole-home plan, on Lutron or Caséta when you want it smart.

What's Included
Six things, every job.
From a single pendant swap to a whole-home redesign.
Lighting Walk & Plan
Room-by-room layout, fixture counts, switching scheme, dimmer compatibility checked against your existing or planned fixtures.
Fixture & Wire Sourcing
LED drivers, dimmers, cans, pendants, low-voltage transformers — sized and on-site before tear-in. Code-compliant insulation contact (IC) and air-tight (AT) cans where required.
Wire Pull & Box Install
Switched home-runs to dimmers, new boxes cut where needed, attic and crawl-space runs done from above to keep finished ceilings intact.
Fixture Hang & Wire-In
Recessed cans clipped, pendants hung at the right drop height, LEDs landed correctly for dimmer compatibility.
Dimmer & Smart Pair
Lutron / Decora / Caséta dimmers installed and tuned to the LED load. Smart hubs paired, scenes built to your preference.
Cleanup & Walkthrough
Drop cloths down, drywall cuts patched (no finish paint), and we hand you a working remote / app before we leave.
When You Need It
Six common lighting fixes.
Dark Kitchen or Workspace
Under-cabinet LED + recessed task lighting transforms how a kitchen feels. Cheapest high-impact upgrade.
Recessed Cans That Flicker or Buzz
Old incandescent cans with cheap LED retrofits often hum on the wrong dimmer. We re-match driver to dimmer.
No Switching in the Right Place
Walk into a room and grope for a switch? We add a 3-way or smart-switch to fix it without re-running wire.
Outdoor Path or Security Lighting
Low-voltage landscape and 120V security floods — wired clean, transformers sized, sensors aimed correctly.
Builder-Grade Boob Lights Everywhere
Swap them for pendants, flush-mounts, or recessed for an immediate finish upgrade. Same boxes, better aesthetics.
Smart-Home Lighting Plan
Whole-home scenes on Caséta / RA3 / HomeKit. We do the wiring layer; you do the rules.
