Fixture Installation & Replacement — Hampton Roads
Fixture installation is one of the most common handyman calls we get in Hampton Roads — and one of the most frequently botched DIY attempts. Loose wire connections, improper grounding, wrong box ratings, and fixtures that aren't level are all things we fix regularly on jobs where a homeowner took a first pass. We do it right the first time.
What We Install
Light Fixtures
Chandeliers, pendants, flush mounts, sconces, recessed retrofit kits. Proper grounding and secure box mounting on every job.
Ceiling Fans
Fan-rated box installation if needed, proper balancing, and remote/wall control wiring. Indoor and outdoor-rated models.
Faucets & Sinks
Kitchen and bathroom faucet swap-outs, supply line replacement, drain assembly. Supply shut-off valves replaced if corroded.
Safety & Code Compliance
Every fixture installation we perform follows applicable Virginia electrical and plumbing codes. Key safety practices we never skip:
- Power always off and verified at the switch before any wiring work
- Proper wire connections — no wire nuts on stranded-to-solid without the right connector
- Fan-rated junction boxes for any ceiling fan installation
- GFCI protection verified in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor areas
- Proper grounding on all metal fixture housings
