Light your home the right way
Recessed lighting, under-cabinet LED, landscape, and smart lighting design and installation.
The upgrade you notice every day.
Of all the upgrades you can make to a home, lighting delivers the most dramatic impact for the money. A dark kitchen with one overhead fixture feels completely different with six recessed LEDs on a dimmer. Under-cabinet strips turn dated counters into a workspace. Landscape lighting makes the front of your house look like it belongs in a magazine.
Every lighting project starts with a design consultation. We walk your space, talk about how you use each room, and plan a layout that balances task, ambient, and accent lighting. Then we handle the electrical side: circuit mapping, ceiling cuts, wire runs, fixture install.
We install recessed cans, under-cabinet LED, landscape, smart dimmers, whole-room systems. Bathroom refresh or full-home overhaul — design + wire + dimmer compatibility verified end-to-end.
Four things we verify before the install.
Lighting looks simple until something flickers, buzzes, or doesn't dim. Four checks that prevent it.
- 01 Attic access above the room With attic access, we fish cleanly. Without it, wall + ceiling channels roughly double the labor.Primary pricing driver
- 02 Existing circuit capacity Overhead lights often share a circuit with outlets. Dedicated dimmer circuit sometimes required.Every room
- 03 Wet-location above showers + tubs Wet-rated IC fixtures required above showers and tubs. Standard cans aren't safe — we always use wet-rated.Every bathroom
- 04 Dimmer compatibility with fixture LED dimmers are picky. Wrong pairing = flicker, buzz, or no dim. We match fixture-dimmer spec every time.Every install
Real lighting pricing
Recessed lights are our most common lighting job. Pricing is straightforward when there's attic access above the room. Without it, labor climbs because every fixture location needs a drywall cut-and-patch.
Recessed lighting
Standard 8-ft ceilings, attic access above the room.
- Per can installed$250
- Typical room (4 cans + dimmer) Kitchen, living room, bedroom — most common scope~$1,200
- No attic access Channels in walls/ceiling or exterior conduitSignificantly more
Patching and painting after drywall cuts are a separate trade — we cut what we need, you handle finish.
Other lighting work
Per-fixture and linear-foot pricing for common scopes.
- Under-cabinet LED (per linear ft)$25–$45
- Landscape light (per fixture)$200–$400
- Dimmer switch install$150–$250
- Smart lighting setup Lutron Caseta, smart switches + hub config$200–$500
- Whole-room lighting design$500–$1,500
Premium fixtures (Lutron Caseta, high-end sconces, smart systems) add cost quickly — we'll walk you through options before the bid.

Standard hardware
Install timeline
- 01 Design consultation Same week
Walk the space, talk use cases, sketch layout, count fixtures. Written estimate.
- 02 City permit (if needed) 3 days – 1 week
Fixture swaps usually no permit. New circuits or exterior work do.
- 03 Install Half – full day / room
Cut, wire, fish through attic, mount, test. 4-can room is typically a single day.
- 04 Dimmer + smart setup Same day
Verify dimming curve, pair smart switches, app + voice integration if Caseta/HomeKit.
- 05 Patch + paint 1 week after install
Separate trade. Ceiling cuts left clean, painter finishes.

Tell us what rooms you want to transform. We'll walk the space, sketch a layout, factor in attic access and finish quality, and give you a clear quote.
Four specifics that actually matter.
- 01
LED-only standard — no incandescent
80% less energy, 25,000+ hours of life, less heat. There's no reason to install anything else in 2026.
- 02
Dimmer compatibility verified
We match fixture + dimmer spec before install. No flicker, no buzz, no "it works with some bulbs" surprises.
- 03
Design consultation, not design-from-checklist
We walk the space, talk about how you use each room, and sketch the layout. Task, ambient, accent — balanced on purpose.
- 04
Smart-home integration (Lutron Caseta standard)
Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit compatible. Caseta is our go-to — reliable, scalable, no hub drama.
Common questions
A typical room (4 cans + dimmer) runs around $1,200. For a 12×12 kitchen, expect 4–6 cans. Our recessed lighting guide has the full room-by-room breakdown.
Yes — if there’s attic access above the room. Without attic access, the labor roughly doubles because we have to open channels in walls and ceilings.
LEDs use 80% less energy, last 25,000+ hours, and produce less heat. We only install LED — there’s no reason to use anything else.
Yes. We install landscape lighting, pathway lights, security floods, and deck/patio lighting. All outdoor circuits are GFCI-protected per code.
Yes. Lutron Caseta, smart dimmers, and other smart controls. They work with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.
