Short Service Explanation
Light switch and fixture service is needed when a switch stops working, a light flickers, a fixture is outdated, or a homeowner wants to upgrade the lighting in a room. This service applies to bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, patios, garages, closets, and other residential areas where lights, switches, dimmers, or fixtures need repair, replacement, or proper installation.
Common Problems / Reasons
Homeowners usually call for light switch and fixture work because a switch feels loose, sparks, gets warm, makes a buzzing sound, does not control the light correctly, or was installed poorly before. Other common reasons include replacing old ceiling fixtures, installing new vanity lights, upgrading to dimmer switches, changing builder-grade lights, fixing flickering lights, replacing damaged outdoor fixtures, or updating lighting during a remodel.
What We Do / Service Details
We inspect the existing switch, fixture, wiring, box condition, and connections before replacing or installing new equipment. When needed, we remove the old switch or fixture, prepare the wiring, install the new device, make proper connections, secure the fixture, test operation, check switch control, clean the work area, and explain what was done before leaving the home.

FAQ
Can you replace an old light switch with a dimmer?
Yes, if the existing wiring and light fixture are compatible with a dimmer. Some LED lights require a specific dimmer type to avoid flickering or buzzing.
Why is my light switch buzzing or getting warm?
A buzzing or warm switch can be caused by a loose connection, overloaded dimmer, worn switch, or incompatible fixture. It should be checked before it gets worse.
Do you install bathroom vanity lights and ceiling fixtures?
Yes. We replace and install vanity lights, ceiling lights, wall lights, hallway lights, closet lights, and other common residential fixtures.
Can you install outdoor light fixtures?
Yes. We replace and install outdoor wall lights, patio lights, garage lights, and entry lights when the existing wiring and box are suitable for the fixture.
