What We Completed

Lighting fixtures set and tested: Finalized terminations at each lighting location and mounted customer-selected fixtures for balanced, consistent illumination.
Receptacle outlets installed: Set tamper-resistant outlets for family-friendly safety and aligned cover plates for a clean finish throughout.
Switches and controls: Installed switches and configured control locations for intuitive operation of general and task lighting.
Code-driven protection: Verified required GFCI and AFCI protection where applicable, supporting a safe, inspection-ready installation.
System testing: Checked polarity, grounding continuity, and device function, and labeled circuits for straightforward maintenance.
Detail and cleanup: Ensured consistent device heights, flush mounting, and a tidy workspace to protect finished surfaces.

This trim-out represents the final step after rough-in, where conductors are landed, devices are set, and fixtures are mounted. The result is a professional, uniform appearance that enhances both safety and aesthetics.

Why the Trim-Out Phase Matters

Safety first: Correct device terminations and required protection (GFCI/AFCI) help reduce shock and arc-fault risks.
Performance and reliability: Careful testing ensures lights, outlets, and switches operate as intended from day one.
Refined finish: Straight, level devices and aligned cover plates contribute to the space’s overall look and value.
Inspection-ready: Code-compliant practices streamline final inspections and project turnover for builders and homeowners.
