Lighting Installation & Repair for Austin Properties
Central Austin neighborhoods like Hyde Park and parts of East Austin carry a substantial stock of homes built well before today's electrical demand existed, and several require careful, code-aware handling during any upgrade. Lighting calls range from a single dead fixture to a full recessed-lighting layout for a remodeled room — and in between, a lot of flickering that turns out to be a loose connection rather than a bad bulb.
Coverage extends across Austin, including Zilker and East Austin, and the surrounding area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover both central Austin and the surrounding suburbs?
Yes — coverage spans central Austin and extends into the surrounding metro area; call to confirm for a specific address near the edge of coverage.
Do you handle new-construction electrical work as well as older homes?
Yes — both are common in Austin, from wiring new builds to upgrading older central-Austin homes to modern capacity.
Is EV charger and generator demand higher in Austin than elsewhere?
Interest runs high here given the newer subdivisions and grid-strain concerns during peak summer heat, and both are a routine part of the work in Austin.
Do electrical permits in Austin take longer than other Texas cities?
Timelines vary by scope and the city's current permitting load; that coordination is handled as part of the job rather than left for the homeowner to sort out.
Why do my lights flicker even after changing the bulb?
Flickering that persists after a bulb swap usually points to a loose connection, a failing dimmer, or a wiring issue upstream — worth diagnosing rather than replacing bulbs repeatedly.
Can recessed lighting be added without opening the ceiling?
In many cases, yes, using attic access to run the wiring and cutting only the fixture holes themselves — the feasibility depends on the specific ceiling and attic layout.
My new LED bulbs buzz with the dimmer I already have — why?
Many older dimmers aren't rated for LED loads and need to be swapped for an LED-compatible dimmer to eliminate buzzing and flickering.
