Materials and code-focused workmanship

Wiring: NM-B Romex 12/2 for 20-amp circuits and NM-B Romex 14/2 for 15-amp lighting circuits (approximately 50 ft each), routed and secured per code.
Protection: Installed 15-amp and 20-amp GFCI breakers where required for enhanced safety and modern code adherence.
Fixtures: Four integrated 6-inch can lights professionally laid out for even coverage.
Fan support: Fan-rated box and new light point to properly support and power the ceiling fan.
Devices: Two standard receptacles (with cover plates) and two switches for intuitive control.

Our crew followed best practices for layout, drilling, and wire fishing to minimize drywall disturbance. We verified proper grounding, correct breaker sizing, and polarity at each device, then labeled the panel for clear identification.

Permitting and compliance

Touchstone Electric filed the electrical permit with the local authority and completed the work to current code standards. The included permit covers the electrical scope for this project. If a jurisdiction requires additional non-electrical permits (for example, zoning or historic preservation), those are not included. Should extra permits be necessary, we advise homeowners on next steps and can assist with processing upon request.

The result for this Charlotte home

Better lighting: Low-profile cans deliver bright, even illumination without glare.
Comfortable airflow: Properly mounted ceiling fan for reliable, quiet operation.
Convenience: Added outlets and dedicated switches for everyday ease of use.
Peace of mind: GFCI protection, labeled circuits, and permitted, inspected work.
