Homes around San Mateo span more than a century of building, from pre-war houses with knob-and-tube remnants and 60-amp services to 1960s ranch homes and new all-electric construction. That mix means the same street can need a simple outlet repair at one address and a full service upgrade at the next.

Lighting Installation cost in San Mateo
Lighting installation cost in San Mateo depends on the number of fixtures, whether there is attic access above the ceiling, and whether new switches or circuits are needed. Replacing a fixture on an existing box is a short visit. A new recessed layout is priced per light with the switching included, and we give you the total before starting.

Lighting Installation questions from San Mateo customers
How many recessed lights do I need?
A common starting point is one light for every four to six feet of ceiling, adjusted for ceiling height and what the room is used for. We sketch a layout on site in San Mateo before cutting anything.
Can you add lights where there's no attic access?
Yes. Slim LED fixtures need very little clearance, and we fish cable between joists from small openings that the lights themselves cover.
Why do my LED lights flicker on the dimmer?
Usually the dimmer isn't rated for LED loads or is mismatched to the fixtures. Swapping to a compatible dimmer fixes it. See switch and dimmer installation.
Can you hang a heavy chandelier?
Yes. We install a rated support box or brace, assemble and hang the fixture, and can add a dimmer if you want one.
What customers say
Three ceiling fans installed where there were only light fixtures before. They swapped in fan-rated boxes and balanced all three. Quiet and solid.
Twelve recessed lights and two dimmers in the living room, done in a day with no patching needed. The layout advice alone was worth the call.
We needed new circuits and lighting before opening our shop. Bayshore worked around our contractor's schedule and the inspection passed the first time.
