Good Lighting Is an Electrical Job, Not a Ladder Job
Hanging a fixture is easy. Getting the circuit right, cutting recessed cans so they're actually symmetric to the room, fishing wire through insulation without tearing up drywall, and making sure the dimmer won't strobe your new LEDs — that's the part that takes a licensed electrician. We handle lighting projects across Granbury and Hood County, from a single porch light to whole-home lighting plans for new builds and remodels.
Indoor Lighting
- Recessed / can lighting — layout, spacing, and trim selection included; retrofit LEDs in existing ceilings with minimal cutting.
- Kitchen lighting — island pendants, under-cabinet task lights, and layered dimming that makes the room work morning to midnight.
- Chandeliers & statement fixtures — properly rated boxes and bracing, including two-story entries and vaulted great rooms common in lake homes.
- Bathroom & vanity lighting — damp-rated fixtures placed to flatter, not shadow.
- Dimmers & smart switches — matched to your LED load so they dim smoothly to the bottom of the range.
- Closet, pantry & stairway lighting — the small circuits that make an older house feel new.
Outdoor & Landscape Lighting
Evenings are the payoff for living out here, and outdoor lighting is where we get to be a little bit of a design shop. We install low-voltage landscape systems that uplight live oaks without lighting up the neighbor's bedroom, patio and pergola lighting for the outdoor kitchens half this county seems to be building, and dusk-to-dawn or motion security lighting around garages, shops, and boat storage. Everything outdoors gets in-use covers, weather-rated boxes, and GFCI protection — lake humidity and sprinkler systems are hard on shortcuts.
LED Retrofits That Pay For Themselves
If your home still runs on incandescent cans and fluorescent tube fixtures, a whole-home LED retrofit is one of the rare upgrades you can feel on the next electric bill. LEDs pull a fraction of the wattage and — just as relevant from June through September in Texas — dump far less heat into rooms your air conditioner is fighting to cool. We'll convert existing cans with retrofit trims, replace failing ballast fixtures outright, and get color temperature consistent across the house so the living room doesn't glow blue while the hall glows yellow.
What an Installation Visit Looks Like
We start with a walkthrough: what the room is for, where the light needs to land, what's above the ceiling. You get a flat written quote — fixtures, wiring, switching, patching plan — before we drill anything. On install day we protect floors and furniture, vacuum our dust, and finish by walking every switch and scene with you. If a fixture you bought turns out to be junk (it happens), we'll tell you before it's on your ceiling, not after.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many recessed lights does my kitchen need?
A typical Granbury kitchen lands between six and ten 4-inch LEDs plus under-cabinet task lighting, but ceiling height and layout change the math. We lay it out with you on site before quoting — spacing is what separates great recessed lighting from a ceiling full of glare.
Can you install lighting on a tall or vaulted ceiling?
Yes. We're equipped for vaulted great rooms and two-story entries, including fixture-rated boxes, remodel cans on steep pitches, and chandelier lifts where warranted.
Do LED retrofits really cut the electric bill?
Swapping a houseful of incandescent and old fluorescent fixtures to LED commonly cuts lighting energy use by 70–80%. In a Texas summer it also dumps less heat for your A/C to fight.
Can my existing switch be made a dimmer or smart switch?
Almost always, but older boxes without a neutral wire limit which smart switches work. We carry options for both situations and make sure the dimmer is rated for your specific LED load so it won't flicker.
