Lighting Installation Trim-Out in Matthews, NC
On June 18, 2025, Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch completed a professional lighting trim-out and fixture installation for a residence in Matthews, NC. Led by our technician Ben Lively, this project for GJK Remodeling, LLC delivered a clean finish, code-compliant terminations, and fully tested lighting controls ready for the final walkthrough.
Trim-out is the detail phase that brings a lighting plan to life—mounting fixtures, setting controls, making safe connections, and ensuring everything works as intended without disturbing finished surfaces.
What We Completed
- Mounted and aligned interior light fixtures and ceiling device trims for a uniform, polished appearance.
- Terminated conductors at switches, dimmers, and junction boxes using manufacturer-approved methods.
- Verified three-way and four-way switch operation where applicable to ensure intuitive control throughout the home.
- Checked circuit labeling and breaker sizing at the panel for clarity and safety.
- Tested continuity, polarity, and device function; confirmed GFCI/AFCI protection where required by code.
- Performed final adjustments, level checks, and cleanup to leave the space move-in ready.
All work was completed to current electrical code and manufacturer specifications, delivering reliable performance on day one and a finish that complements the remodel.
