Lighting Installation Process Braidwood

Here's How We Install Your Lighting

First, we assess your electrical system to make sure it can handle the new lighting load. Many Braidwood homes need circuit upgrades before adding new fixtures, and we’ll tell you upfront if that’s the case.

Next, we plan the installation based on your actual needs, not just what looks good on paper. We consider your home’s layout, your family’s routines, and how you actually use each space.

Then we install everything according to code, test it thoroughly, and walk you through how everything works. You’ll know where every switch is, how to change bulbs safely, and what to do if something ever needs attention.

We clean up completely and make sure you’re satisfied with how everything looks and functions before we leave.
