The desire to modernize a home’s exterior often runs into structural and electrical challenges. In this case, a customer in Vienna, VA, sought to dramatically change the aesthetic of their property by replacing four outdated outdoor light fixtures, two by the front door and two by the garage. The core problem was a major compatibility issue: the existing lights utilized an old attachment style that did not incorporate a modern electrical mounting box, which the new, sleek fixtures required for a safe and secure installation. Modifying the brick exterior to accommodate the new components was a complex requirement, leading the customer to seek a reliable, skilled professional. They found CoreTrade Electric on Angi and selected us for our reputation for being “easy and quick to schedule”.
CoreTrade Electric mobilized quickly to address this specialized installation requirement. The project was focused on creating the necessary infrastructure for the four new fixtures provided by the customer. Our licensed electricians performed precise, controlled work, which involved carefully chiseling into the brick facade at each of the four locations to create the proper recessed space. This meticulous process ensured that a mounting box could be placed correctly and securely for every fixture. Once the new boxes were set and wiring was adapted, we installed and secured the two front door lights and the two garage lights, completing the structural and electrical upgrade to modern code.
Our expert approach allowed the customer to realize their vision without compromising the integrity of their home’s exterior. CoreTrade Electric successfully transformed a challenging installation into a secure, polished result, integrating the new fixtures seamlessly into the brick facade. The entire project, which included the necessary masonry modification and full fixture replacement, was completed in an efficient four hours. This swift service minimized disruption while delivering a high-quality, lasting electrical upgrade.
