What’s included
- Plan fixture layout for even light distribution
- Cut ceiling openings using a hole saw
- Run cable from the switch or existing fixture to each new can
- Install IC-rated or non-IC housings as required by attic access
- Connect LED wafer lights or retrofit trim kits
- Patch any minor drywall damage from fishing wire
- Test and adjust all fixtures for alignment
How it works
Plan and mark the layout
We measure the room, mark the fixture positions for balanced lighting, and identify the wire routing path before any cutting starts.
Cut, run cable, and connect
We cut each opening, fish wire along the ceiling cavity, make connections at each can, and tie everything into the switch or junction point.
Install trims and test
We snap in the LED wafers or trim kits, restore power, and adjust any fixture that isn't perfectly flush or aimed.
Problems we fix
- Obstructions in the ceiling cavity — joists, HVAC ducts, or existing wiring — that force layout changes
- Insulation-covered attics requiring IC-rated (insulation-contact) housings
- Insufficient wire slack at the switch box to add another circuit connection
- Uneven spacing that creates hot spots or dark corners
Recessed Lighting Installation in Columbia — FAQ
How many recessed lights do I need per room?
A common starting point is one fixture for every 4–6 square feet of ceiling in a general-purpose room, but we adjust based on ceiling height and how bright you want the space.
Can you add recessed lights without attic access?
Yes. Remodel (old-work) LED wafers clip into the drywall from below and don't need housing boxes above the ceiling. We use these for finished spaces where attic access isn't possible.
Will recessed lighting work with my existing dimmer switch?
It depends on the dimmer and the LED driver. We can swap the switch for a dimmer that's compatible with the LEDs we install, so there's no buzzing or flickering.
Recessed Lighting Installation 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.
