The job

This was a full fixture refresh handled in a single visit. Every circuit was mapped and labeled at the panel before anything came off the wall, worn switches were swapped for new rockers, ceiling boxes left open by old fixtures were rewired and closed up, a fan was hung on the vaulted beam, and every smoke detector in the house — several well past their ten-year service life — was replaced and tested.

The problem

Yellowed smoke detectors past their service life, worn light switches and ceiling boxes left open after old fixtures came down.

Our recommendation

Bundle the switches, ceiling fixtures and smoke detectors into one visit so the panel only gets worked once and the homeowner isn't paying for three separate trips.

The result

Every switch flush and level, ceiling fixtures wired and secured, and fresh smoke detectors powered and tested throughout the home.
