Step 01
Step 01 — Survey

We read the building before we touch a single wire.

Every site visit starts on foot. We walk the structure — attic to crawlspace — measuring spans, locating load-bearing members, and tracing the existing panel. In a century-old kitchen, that means respecting lath and plaster. In a new-build shop, it means planning conduit runs before drywall goes up.

You receive a written fixture placement plan with circuit load calculations before any work is scheduled. No surprises on install day.

  • Joist spacing and span measured by hand
  • Panel capacity verified against fixture load
  • Written placement plan delivered same day
  • Historic structure protocols for pre-1940 builds
Step 02 — Wire

Copper run clean. Code met. No shortcuts behind the wall.

Rural wiring comes with its own demands — long runs from subpanels, moisture in milking parlors, heat in summer workshops. We spec every circuit for the actual load it will carry over the next thirty years, not just what passes inspection today. Romex is stapled at 4½-inch intervals. Every junction box is labeled, accessible, and closed.

Step 03
Step 03 — Mount

Hung level. Anchored to structure. Built to stay.

A fixture that sways or sits crooked tells you something went wrong in the wall. Every mount we set is anchored to framing — never just drywall. Pendant cord lengths are adjusted to the inch. Canopies are seated tight against the ceiling material, whether that's plaster, T&G pine, or poured concrete.

Barn Pendants

Ceiling medallion anchored to joist, not just drywall. Cord length set to your exact counter height.

Flush & Semi-Flush

Canopy seated flush against plaster or T&G boards. No gap, no movement.

Track & Monorail

Continuous runs mapped to work surfaces. Every head aimed before we pack up.

Exterior Sconces & Floods

Weatherproof boxes, sealed conduit entries, and silicone-gasketed covers on every outdoor mount.

Step 04 — Aim

The light lands exactly where life happens after dark.

Aiming is the last step and the one most crews skip. We don't leave until every floodlight is pointed at the gravel drive, every pendant is centered over the island, and every work light is throwing a beam onto the bench — not the wall behind it.

You walk the space with us before we pack the truck. If anything doesn't feel right — the angle, the height, the spread — we adjust it on the spot. That's what first-visit completion means: we don't leave a punchlist.

"They finished a 14-fixture kitchen install in one day. Every pendant centered, every switch where I asked. Forty years in this house and it's never looked this good."
