Lighting Installation
Lighting is the difference between a room you live in and a room you walk through. We do pot lights, statement chandeliers, exteriors, dimmers and smart controls, and we lay it out before we cut a single hole. Spacing, beam angle, colour temperature, switching. The boring stuff that makes a finished room feel right.
Overview
More than just hanging fixtures.
Most lighting calls start with one of two things: a fixture that needs to come down and a new one going up, or a room that doesn’t have enough light and needs a layout. Both jobs benefit from somebody who has done a lot of them.
Pot light spacing on a 9-foot ceiling isn’t the same as on a 14-foot vaulted ceiling. A 2700K bulb in a kitchen looks different than a 4000K. A chandelier hung 24 inches off a dining table reads differently than one hung 32 inches off it. We think that through with you before we drill. If you want fixture recommendations, we’ll give them. If you already bought one, we’ll tell you honestly whether it will work in the space.

When you’ll want to call us
Finishing a basement and you need a pot light layout. Replacing a builder-grade chandelier with something heavier. Hanging a statement piece in a vaulted ceiling and you don’t have scaffolding. Adding exterior pot lights along the soffit. Switching out toggles for dimmers across the whole house. Renovating a kitchen and you want under-cabinet LEDs that actually look good.
What we won’t do
We won’t crowd a ceiling with pot lights to hit a number. We won’t install a fixture that’s mounted improperly for the box; we fix the box first. And we won’t pitch you a smart lighting system you don’t need. Sometimes the answer is a $20 dimmer.
