Lighting Installation

In almost every case, yes. LED lighting uses significantly less energy than incandescent or fluorescent alternatives — typically 75% less — and lasts many times longer. For homeowners, that translates to lower electricity bills and fewer bulb replacements. For commercial properties, the savings on energy and maintenance costs can be substantial. Modern LEDs also produce excellent light quality across a wide range of color temperatures, so you’re not sacrificing ambiance for efficiency. If you’re still running older lighting throughout your home or facility, a retrofit is one of the best investments you can make.

The general rule of thumb is one recessed light for every 4 to 6 square feet of ceiling space, but the right answer depends on the room’s purpose, ceiling height, the size of the fixtures, and whether you’re using them as primary lighting or in combination with other sources. A kitchen needs more task lighting than a bedroom. A room with high ceilings needs larger fixtures or more of them. When we assess your space, we’ll help you land on a layout that lights the room evenly and looks intentional — not like an afterthought.

Yes. High and vaulted ceilings require the right fixtures and sometimes specialized installation techniques, but they’re well within our scope. We regularly install lighting on vaulted ceilings, cathedral ceilings, and two-story spaces in Hill Country homes. The key is choosing fixtures that are appropriate for the ceiling height and angle, and ensuring the wiring is run correctly so the installation is safe and clean. If you have a challenging ceiling situation, we’ve likely seen it before.

Yes — exterior and landscape lighting is a significant part of what we do, particularly for custom homes and larger properties in the Hill Country. We install soffit lighting, security and motion-activated lighting, pathway and landscape lighting, deck and patio lighting, and exterior fixture replacements. Properly installed exterior lighting enhances curb appeal, improves safety and security, and extends the usability of outdoor spaces after dark. All exterior installations are weatherproofed and code-compliant.

Absolutely. We regularly work from lighting plans developed by interior designers, architects, and lighting consultants. If you have a plan, we’ll review it, flag any practical or code-related concerns before we start, and execute the installation to spec. If you don’t have a formal plan but have a general idea of what you want, we can help you develop a scope that achieves your goals within your budget.
