Professional outlet and switch updates for a Durham home
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a clean, code-conscious outlet and switch relocation with an attic light addition for a homeowner in Durham. The project focused on improving everyday usability in the living room and adding safe, convenient lighting in the attic — all completed with careful wiring practices and neat finishes.

Project overview
- Relocated existing switches and outlets in the living room to better serve the homeowner’s layout and access needs.
- Added a keyless light in the attic with a dedicated wall switch for safe, on-demand illumination.
- Installed new wiring runs to support the updated device locations and the new light point.
Our approach ensured modern, consistent placement of devices and dependable power where it matters most, all while maintaining a tidy, professional appearance.
What we installed and moved
- 2 standard receptacles: Installed with new cover plates to match the living room’s updated layout.
- 3 standard switches: Replacements/installs for lighting control, configured to suit existing switching needs (2-way/3-way/4-way as applicable).
- Approximately 30 ft of 14/2 NM-B cable: Routed for 15-amp lighting/general-purpose circuits to accommodate the relocations and the new attic light.
- Keyless attic light: A simple, reliable fixture installed with a wall switch for safe access when entering or working in the attic.
Relocating outlets and switches can streamline daily routines, reduce extension-cord clutter, and put lighting control exactly where you expect it. The added attic light provides immediate visibility for storage or maintenance tasks.
