Remodels

Our years of design expertise allows us to translate your dreams and needs for the remodeled space into a beautiful, more convenient, and functional energy efficient design, while meeting current building code safety requirements. We especially enjoy collaborating with you to ensure the design for your space reflects your style preferences.

Lighting design that includes multi-level light sources adds more ambiance, flexibility, and functionality to a space. Overhead lighting can create shadows and poorly lit areas, making tasks more difficult. By adding correctly placed task lighting for applying makeup, shaving, working in the kitchen, reading, or doing detailed craft or sewing work, we can help make tasks easier by eliminating shadows. For the bathroom, there are exciting options for expanding vanity lighting to include overhead fixtures, lights above or along the sides of the mirror, as well as small spot lighting. Our decades of experience at Leading Edge Electric means all various light sources will be intelligently placed to eliminate shadows and unevenly lit areas, creating an aesthetically pleasing, energy efficient, and highly functional design. Many new and exciting options exist for switch programming convenience, including grouping lights, dimming options, and timers.

Before beginning any project involving general demolition, including cutting into a wall or ceiling, it is crucial to have electrical wiring in the remodel area be located by a licensed electrician. While it is always the hope that original wiring was installed sensibly and following building safety codes, avoid shocking surprises by having Leading Edge Electric locate and mark all the wiring before construction begins, as well as perform all necessary upgrades, moves, and electrical expansions. In most cities, using a licensed electrician for all electrical work is required by law. For the safety of your home or building and its occupants, have a licensed electrician involved in your remodel plans. While Ms./Mr. Random Handyperson may say with confidence, “Sure, I can move that outlet, and add a new light fixture in a new spot, no problem,” are you willing to gamble your life and home on Ms./Mr. Random’s statement? Building codes require all new electrical work to be performed by a licensed electrician, and a building permit to have been assigned to the work. If unlicensed Random Handyperson performs the work, the building inspector can and will require the work to be torn out and done again by a licensed electrician. Skipping required-by-law permit pulling and taking shortcuts, besides putting yourself, the home or building and its occupants in danger, can be financially costly, and cause further problems in the future if you try to sell the property.
