Light fixture replacement in Charlotte, NC
Service visits start at $149 — a starting point, not a final estimate
Replacing a dated fixture is one of the highest-impact small jobs in a house. This is a like-for-like swap on existing wiring: power off at the breaker, old fixture down, new bracket and fixture up, level, tested.
Mon–Fri 7:30am–7:00pm · Sat 9:00am–5:00pm · Sun 10:00am–3:00pm · General liability insured
What this typically includes
- Safe removal of the existing fixture with the circuit isolated
- Fitting the new mounting bracket to the existing box
- Hanging and levelling flush mounts, pendants, vanity bars or chandeliers
- Bulb fitting and a function test on the existing switch
What can affect the final price
- Ceiling height and whether ladders or a second person are required
- Fixture weight — heavy chandeliers may need a rated box
- Whether the existing box is fan-rated or sound
- Number of fixtures being changed in the same visit
What photos to send
- The full area including ceiling height or wall context
- The existing fixture, fan, outlet, or device from a safe standing distance
- The replacement item and its model label
- The breaker panel label only if it's easy and safe to reach
- Stand back and photograph the ceiling height, then take a close-up of the existing fixture from below
Never remove covers or plates, expose wiring, or touch anything energized. Photos from a safe distance are plenty.

Questions about this service
- Is this licensed electrical work?
- We review the scope first. Some electrical work may require a properly licensed North Carolina trade professional — new circuits, new boxes, rewiring and panel work in particular — and we only accept work that is appropriate for our scope.
- What if the existing box is loose?
- We'll show you before going further. A loose or non-rated box has to be sorted first, and heavy fixtures make that non-negotiable.
- Can you add a dimmer at the same time?
- A like-for-like dimmer swap on an existing switch, yes. Tell us the fixture type so we can confirm the bulbs are dimmable.
