What We Do (And Honestly Don't)

Existing Wiring Swaps Only — Done Safely

We're handymen, not licensed electricians. Within the right scope, light fixture swaps are perfectly safe handyman work. Beyond that scope, we tell you.

Power Off First, Always

We turn off the breaker before touching wiring — not just the wall switch. Then we test with a non-contact voltage tester to confirm. No exceptions.

Proper Wire Connections

Wire nuts of the correct gauge, tightly twisted, wrapped with electrical tape when needed. Loose connections cause fires. We do this right or not at all.

Junction Box Check

For heavier fixtures (chandeliers, fans), we verify the existing junction box is rated for the weight. If not, we'll stop and recommend a licensed electrician to upgrade it first.

Smart Integration

Smart bulbs, Lutron Caséta, Philips Hue setup, Wi-Fi connection. We get your fixture talking to your phone before we leave.

Drop Cloth + Cleanup

Ladder work creates dust and debris. We use drop cloths under work areas, vacuum dust, dispose of old fixture if you want.

Honest About Scope

What we do: swap existing fixtures, install ceiling fans, replace switches. What we don’t: new circuits, panel work, anything needing a permit and licensed electrician.

Light Fixtures We Install

All Common Fixture Types

From kitchen pendants to outdoor sconces.

Pendant Lights

Single, double, or row pendants over islands, dining tables, bathroom vanities. Cord length adjusted, chain shortened if needed.

Fan with integrated light fixture. Existing junction box must be fan-rated. ~$180-$240 install. Reverse-cycle wiring tested.

Flush Ceiling Mounts

Standard low-profile ceiling lights for bedrooms, hallways, kitchens. Quick swap (~30-45 min per fixture).

Painting FAQ

Common Questions

Do you need a licensed electrician for fixture swaps?
For a like-for-like swap of an existing fixture using existing wiring — no. Ontario regulations allow homeowners (and qualified handymen) to swap fixtures on existing circuits. For new circuits, panel work, or anything requiring an ESA permit, you need a licensed electrician. We’ll be honest about what your job needs.
How long does a light fixture installation take?
Simple flush mount or pendant: 30-45 min per fixture. Chandelier with multiple arms: 60-75 min (more wiring connections, levelling). Ceiling fan with light: 60-90 min (heavier, needs balancing). Bundling reduces per-fixture time.
Can you install a heavy chandelier on my existing box?
We check first. Standard junction boxes are rated for ~50 lbs. Heavier chandeliers need a fan-rated box (~70 lbs) installed by a licensed electrician. If the existing box won't support the weight, we tell you before we start — we’d rather lose the booking than create a safety risk.
Do you do recessed (pot) lights?
Existing pot light replacement: yes, easy swap. Adding new pot lights: requires cutting holes, running new wiring, and often a permit. That's licensed electrician work — we'll refer you to one.
Will you install smart bulbs and switches?
Yes. Smart bulbs (Hue, LIFX, Wyze): we install the fixture and screw in the bulbs, then set up your hub and app. Smart switches (Lutron Caséta, Kasa): direct swap with existing switches, full Wi-Fi setup included.
Can you install outdoor lights?
Yes — outdoor wall sconces, porch lights, post lights using existing wiring. For new outdoor lighting circuits: licensed electrician needed.
What about LED conversion?
If your existing fixture is incandescent or fluorescent, we can swap the bulbs to LED — usually just unscrewing old and screwing in new. For fluorescent troffer-to-LED conversion (commercial-style): we can do simple ballast bypass on existing fixtures.
Do you fix flickering or dead lights?
Yes — basic troubleshooting included. Most common cause: loose wire nut at the fixture or in the junction box. If the issue is in the circuit (breaker, switch wiring, dead outlet on same circuit), we may refer to an electrician depending on what we find.
Will you dispose of the old fixture?
Yes if you want. Old fixtures get broken down and disposed of properly. Some customers keep theirs for resale or donation.
Can you install a ceiling fan where there's currently just a light?
If the existing box is fan-rated: yes, straight swap. If not: the box must be replaced with a fan-rated box, which usually requires opening the ceiling drywall (we can do the drywall patch). Quoted custom — usually 2-3 hours total.
