Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team (Matthews branch) completed a comprehensive kitchen remodel for customer Anthony Westpy in Charlotte, NC. Finished on January 30, 2026, our licensed technicians Robert Sloan and Theo Coetsee handled lighting upgrades, outlet and switch relocations, a new fan box, exterior lighting, and full wiring for a new addition with permitting and inspections coordinated. This project falls under our Lighting & Ceiling Fans and Lighting Installation services.
What we completed
- Relocated outlets and switches in the kitchen for a safer, cleaner layout:
- Moved the dishwasher switch to a convenient location under the sink.
- Prepared the disposal for an air switch on the countertop (countertop hole by contractor).
- Repositioned outlets adjacent to the sink into the backsplash for code and usability.
- Adjusted the over-sink light location for centered, task-focused illumination.
- Shifted a 3-gang switch box to the living-room-side wall to streamline controls.
- Installed and supplied six 6-inch recessed can lights to deliver even, glare-free kitchen lighting.
- Installed and supplied a fan-rated ceiling box with a dedicated switch leg for a future or existing fan.
- Installed and supplied two exterior lights for safer entry/exit and improved curb appeal.
- Wired a new addition per code and the provided plans, coordinating with inspections throughout.
- Installed customer-supplied fixtures including two wall sconces and a ceiling fan.
- Added a specialty receptacle as needed for the kitchen/appliance layout.
The result is a brighter, more functional kitchen and living space with modern controls and properly placed outlets that support everyday cooking, cleaning, and gathering.
Code-compliant wiring and inspections
For the new addition and kitchen remodel, our team followed current electrical code and the project plans. After the rough-in stage and inspection, we completed trim-out services, which included:
- Supplying and installing smoke detectors.
- Connecting vent fans (ducting by others).
- Installing disconnects for HVAC and major appliances.
- Hooking up customer-supplied appliances such as disposal, dishwasher, range/cooktop, microwave, washer, and dryer as needed.
- Installing fixtures per the project plans.
We also managed the electrical permit and coordinated required inspections to keep the project on schedule and aligned with local Charlotte, NC standards.
Lighting & fan upgrades that lift your space
Well-placed recessed lighting and a properly supported ceiling fan make a kitchen more comfortable and efficient. The six new 6-inch can lights provide balanced ambient light, while the over-sink light ensures excellent task visibility. A fan-rated box gives the ceiling fan the secure support it needs, reducing vibration and extending the life of the fixture.
