Project overview in Apex, NC
Our Raleigh team completed a comprehensive set of lighting and ceiling fan upgrades for homeowner Terry Babb in Apex, NC. Led by technician Matthew Castello, this Lighting & Ceiling Fans project wrapped up on January 8, 2026 and focused on brighter task lighting, smarter controls, and added convenience throughout the home.
What we installed
- Kitchen wafer can lights (6) – We replaced six recessed fixtures with low-profile wafer can lights that last longer and fit cleanly in narrow plenum spaces for a modern, even glow across the kitchen.
- 3-way smart switch for kitchen lighting – A smart control that supports multi-location switching, app control, and voice integration for quick scenes and schedules.
- New standard outlet near the glass sliding door – Added a convenient receptacle, including a two-gang box to support the layout and future flexibility.
- Under-cabinet lighting replacement – Four under-cabinet fixtures swapped for reliable, brighter task lighting on countertops.
- Living room ceiling fan – We removed the old fan and installed a new ceiling fan to improve comfort and air circulation.
As part of this job, the customer also received applicable military and membership discounts.
Smart switch benefits for busy kitchens
The new 3-way smart switch gives the homeowner flexible control from both ends of the kitchen while adding connected features:
- Remote operation from a smartphone or tablet
- Voice control with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit
- Scheduling, dimming, and scenes to match daily routines
- Energy-saving opportunities by automating on/off times
Paired with the upgraded wafer can lights, the kitchen now has evenly distributed illumination that enhances cooking, dining, and entertaining.
Under-cabinet lighting that elevates task areas
Replacing under-cabinet fixtures is one of the fastest ways to improve visibility on countertops. The new fixtures create bright, focused light for food prep and cleanup, while also adding a clean look to the kitchen’s backsplash and cabinetry lines.
Comfort upgrade: living room ceiling fan
Ceiling fans remain a smart addition to living spaces, promoting airflow year-round. The newly installed fan helps circulate air in warmer months and can gently recirculate warm air in cooler seasons for better comfort.
