Recessed and Switch Projects

Recessed lights and switch wiring need review

Replacing an existing recessed fixture or trim may be straightforward. Adding new recessed or pot lights normally involves layout, ceiling access, cutting openings, new wiring, and possibly permits.

A standard switch can sometimes be replaced using existing compatible wiring. Adding, relocating, rewiring, or troubleshooting a three-way switch system is more complex and must be reviewed before pricing. 3 way switch wiring requests are handled as quote-review projects.

  • New wiring, new circuits, and panel work need individual review.
  • Fixture locations cannot be moved under standard replacement pricing.
  • Work must stay within applicable licensing and code requirements.
  • No DIY wiring instructions are provided through this page.
