- Install new exterior-rated fixture

How it works
Remove old sconces and inspect the boxes
We unscrew the old fixtures, check the junction box condition and wiring, and apply fresh weatherproof putty or gasket before the new unit goes on.
Mount and wire the new fixture
We connect the wiring, tighten the fixture securely to the box, and verify the mounting is flush against the siding or masonry.
Test and seal
We power up the circuit, confirm the light comes on, and press any cover gasket firmly so no water can enter the box.
Problems we fix
- Old junction boxes corroded through at the mounting holes, requiring box replacement
- Fixtures not rated for wet locations installed where rain hits them directly
- Sealant missing between the old box and the siding, letting water migrate into the wall
- Wiring that's too short or brittle from years of outdoor heat exposure
Outdoor Sconce Replacement in Columbia — FAQ
Do outdoor sconces need to be rated for wet or damp locations?
Fixtures directly exposed to rain (over an entry, on a porch post) need a wet-location rating. Fixtures under a covered porch overhang need at least a damp-location rating. We confirm the right rating before installing.
Can you replace two sconces at the same time?
Yes — we typically bundle multi-fixture replacements at a single visit. Swapping a pair is usually faster than two separate trips and is a good time to make sure both fixtures match.
My outdoor light flickers — is that a wiring issue or just a bad bulb?
Start with the bulb — outdoor fixtures with Edison-base sockets are prone to vibration-induced loosening. If a new bulb doesn't fix it, the wiring connection inside the box is the next place we look.
Outdoor Sconce Replacement across Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
