Work Performed

Because the fixtures were provided by the customer and the wiring already existed, this project focused on precise, safe installation and a clean finish. Our technician followed manufacturer instructions and best practices to ensure dependable operation.

Verified power was off to the existing porch light circuit and confirmed a safe work area.
Inspected the existing boxes and mounting points to ensure they were ready for new fixtures.
Installed the included mounting hardware and securely mounted each fixture to the existing box.
Connected hot, neutral, and ground conductors on the existing circuit with proper terminations.
Ensured tight, secure mounting and a professional appearance at each fixture base.
Tested operation at the switch and confirmed both porch lights functioned as intended.
Cleaned the work area and removed debris, leaving the front porch ready to enjoy.

This job did not include adding a new circuit or running new wiring. If your home needs new wiring, switching, or locations, our Charlotte team can review options during an on-site assessment.
