Pot light installation in Pickering: what to expect
Most pot-light work in Pickering is in finished ceilings — 1960s–80s lakeside homes and brand-new communities. We fish cable through the joist bays from the cut-outs, so you get new lighting without a ceiling tear-out.
We lay out lights to wash walls and light work surfaces, not as a uniform grid, and match dimmers to the LED drivers so they dim smoothly without flicker. In newer drywall ceilings the work is usually fast — a typical main floor takes a day.
Exterior soffit lighting is popular across Pickering too — on its own circuit, with a photocell or smart timer.

Will you need to open my ceiling?
