Two things go wrong with cans, and both are avoidable.
The wrong housing in an insulated ceiling. A fixture that isn’t rated for insulation contact needs a clearance gap around it, and when insulation gets packed against one anyway — which is what we find in attics all over the county — it runs hot. IC-rated housings are made for it. It costs a few dollars more per can and it’s not optional in an insulated ceiling.
Spacing worked out on the ceiling instead of on paper. Cans put in wherever the joists happened to be leave scallops on the walls and dark patches in the middle of the room. We work out the layout before anything gets cut, and we’ll show it to you first.
Most LED flicker and buzz is a compatibility problem, not a faulty bulb. An old dimmer built for incandescent lamps won’t control a modern LED cleanly, and not every LED is dimmable in the first place. We match the dimmer to the fixture.
Smart switches bring a different problem: most need a neutral wire in the box, and plenty of older Mobile County switch boxes don’t have one. Worth knowing before the box arrives rather than after.
Running a new light in a single-story house with an accessible attic is straightforward. Doing the same on a ground-floor ceiling with a bedroom above it is a different job, because getting the cable there means opening something up. We’ll look before quoting, and we’ll tell you which one you’ve got.
Buy your own and we’ll fit them, or tell us what you’re after and we’ll buy them and bill them through at cost. No markup either way, the same way we handle ceiling fans.

Larger jobs: a full room of cans, a kitchen, a whole-house refit are quoted flat after a walkthrough. Fixtures are supplied by you, or bought in and billed at cost.
Plan on most of a working day for a straight panel change. If the service entrance and meter base are being replaced too, it’s a full day, and the utility’s reconnect timing is the part we don’t fully control. We’ll give you a realistic window before we book it.
Usually, yes. Remodel-style housings go in through a hole cut in the finished ceiling and clip to the drywall. What determines the job is attic access above and whether there are joists, ducts or pipes in the way.
Nearly always a dimmer that wasn’t made for LEDs, or an LED that isn’t dimmable. It’s a cheap fix once it’s diagnosed, and it isn’t your wiring.
Either way. Buy your own and we’ll fit them, or we’ll buy what you want and bill it through at cost. Same as ceiling fans.
Usually. The cost is mostly about access rather than the fitting itself — an accessible attic above is easy, a ceiling with a room over it is not. We’ll look first.
Yes. If it’s vented properly it’s a straightforward swap; if the old one was never vented to outside, we’ll tell you, because that’s how you get damp in the attic.
