What to ask before you book

Have the property address and a short description ready. Our planning guide has a checklist.
What changes the cost
Lighting jobs range from a single fixture swap to a full room design, so cost depends on the scope. What moves the price:
- Number and type of fixtures
- Ceiling height and access
- New switches, dimmers or smart controls
- Condition of existing wiring and boxes
- Outdoor fixtures that need weatherproofing
Permits and inspections
Swapping a fixture on an existing box often needs no permit; running new wiring or circuits does. In Washington, most electrical work needs a permit bought before work starts. When you hire an electrical contractor, the contractor must buy the permit for the job. Depending on the address, permits and inspections are handled by the city or by Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I).

Common questions about lighting installation
Can you install recessed lights in an insulated ceiling?
Call to confirm recessed lighting availability for your ceiling. Ask about fixtures rated for the insulation conditions, ceiling access and any new wiring before booking.
Why do my LED bulbs flicker on a dimmer?
Most often the dimmer is not LED-compatible. Swapping to a dimmer rated for LED loads usually fixes it.
Can outdoor lights be added where no wiring exists?
Yes. New wiring is run with weatherproof boxes and fixtures, and it is permit work in most cases.
Do I need to buy the fixtures myself?
Call to confirm whether you should supply the fixtures or whether supply can be included. Agree the product, scope and price before booking.
