Professional Lighting Installation in Monroe, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team, serving Monroe from our Matthews branch, completed a clean, code‑conscious lighting upgrade for homeowner and contractor Rick Roberts on January 22, 2025. Led by technician Viktor Opalko, the project included relocating a dining room light, replacing a living room chandelier, and adding a new pendant above the kitchen counter. The customer supplied the fixtures, and our crew handled all safe mounting, wiring, and final testing.
Project Overview
- Dining room fixture relocation: Shifted the fixture location to better center lighting over the table. Our team carefully fished new cable through finished spaces to reach the new mounting point while keeping surfaces intact.
- Living room chandelier replacement: Removed the old chandelier and installed the customer’s new fixture on the existing lighting circuit, ensuring the electrical box and support were appropriate for the fixture’s weight and style.
- New kitchen pendant: Added a pendant above the kitchen counter on the existing circuit for functional, focused task lighting with a neat canopy and secure mounting.
All fixtures were installed on existing boxes/circuits, with tidy, secure terminations and careful leveling so the chandelier and pendant hang straight and true.
How We Completed the Work
Light relocation in a finished home often requires precision wire fishing. For this Monroe project, we routed new cable through tight, hard‑to‑reach areas, minimizing disturbance to finished surfaces. Confined workspace conditions added complexity, so we used the right tools and techniques to move the wiring path efficiently and safely.
We utilized NM‑B 14/2 cable appropriate for typical 15‑amp lighting circuits and included any necessary junction box work for a compliant transition between the existing and new fixture locations. After mounting, Viktor verified solid support, correct connections, grounding, and smooth switch operation. The result is bright, even illumination with fixtures that sit flush and look professionally finished.
Materials and Methods Used
- 3x Customer‑supplied fixture installs: Pendant/ceiling/chandelier installations on existing boxes and circuits.
- 25 ft wire fishing: Cleanly snaked cable through finished spaces with minimal access points.
- 30 ft NM‑B 14/2: Routed new cable as needed for the relocated dining room fixture and added kitchen pendant, with proper support and protection per best practices.
- Confined workspace labor: Extra care taken in tight areas to maintain safety and protect the home.
