We do recessed cans without gouging the ceiling, install pendants and chandeliers with proper bracing, run under-cabinet lighting with hidden wiring, and pair every fixture with the right dimmer..

Why is lighting different in Backcountry San Diego?

Backcountry lighting in Ramona, Fallbrook, and Alpine often emphasizes outdoor security and pathway lighting given low ambient light on rural properties. We install dusk-to-dawn switches and motion-sensing floods rated for the colder mountain-elevation temperatures in this zone.

Canless LED recessed lights run $145 to $225 each installed, depending on attic access and how many you're installing in a single visit. A typical 200 sq ft living room needs 6–8 cans for even light. We give you a per-can flat rate so it's easy to scope.

Can you install a chandelier in a 2-story foyer?

Yes. High-foyer installs need a lift or scaffold and proper fan-rated/heavy-fixture bracing. We bring the equipment and the parts. Allow 2–3 hours for most large-foyer chandeliers.
