Like-for-like light fixture and ceiling fan swaps, dimmers, and smart switches installed cleanly and safely. Serving Jersey City homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
Swapping a light fixture sounds simple until you open up a ceiling in a pre-war Jersey City building. Around Journal Square and in Downtown brownstones, you'll find plaster medallions, shallow pancake boxes, and sometimes cloth-insulated wiring that deserves respect. Sentinel handles like-for-like swaps — fixture for fixture, fan for fan — plus dimmers and smart switches, installed cleanly with the breaker off and connections properly capped. Two things matter specifically here. First, ceiling fans need a fan-rated box; the original box that held a five-pound pendant since the Truman administration is not rated for a spinning forty-pound appliance, and upgrading the box is part of doing the job right. Second, honest scope: if we open a box and find knob-and-tube or deteriorated wiring, that's work for an electrician, and we'll say so rather than bury a problem behind a pretty fixture. Tip for high-ceilinged parlor floors: pick fixtures with adjustable-length rods or cables so the scale works from the sofa, not just the catalog.
