"Because of some internet issues on my side, this will be the third time I've written this review. I'm pointing this out because Marvin's work is so good that it is totally worth the effort for me to keep trying. Carvin Electric, which Marvin leads, is the model of what a contractor should be...reasonable, fast, super easy to work with, and incredibly reliable. Marvin and team did exactly what we asked and then some. He had great ideas of ways to improve our project, and never tried to gouge us for changes or upgrades. He worked around a difficult timeline and circumstances, and his work was absolutely perfect. I'm not sure I could recommend Carvin highly enough. Amazing!!"

Lighting services FAQs
Typically, under-cabinet lighting costs about $265 on average, ranging from $230 to $300, depending on the type of lights, fixtures, and amount of electrical work required. Additional cost factors include the removal of old lighting, energy costs related to the type of light bulbs, and the replacement of light bulbs as they burn out.
Here are the average lighting costs by type:
LED Puck Lights: $25 per fixture
LED Strip Lights: $20 per 8-foot strip
Xenon Fixtures: $50 per unit
Fluorescent Lighting: $12 to $50 per unit
On average, the cost to install a light fixture is about $550, ranging from about $160 to $950, depending on the number of lights and the type of light bulbs and fixtures. You should consider other cost factors like your home’s location, electrical and drywall work required to install the fixture, and removal of old fixtures when creating a budget for this project. Keep in mind that replacing a light fixture typically costs less than installing one for the first time.
Recessed lighting installation costs about $360 on average, with a typical price range between $100 and $480, depending on labor cost in your area, required wiring, and the type of bulb. The cost to hire an electrician to install recessed lighting is typically $200 to $250 per fixture. If your electrical pro charges per hour, expect to pay $85 to $105 per hour for this service. Other cost factors include:
Ceiling material
Housing type
Trim type
Bulb type
Materials
Accessibility
Permits
You should hire a licensed electrician who is insured to perform any electrical work on your home, including lighting installation. States have different requirements for licensing and certifying electricians, so use Angi’s state licensing tool to review local guidelines.
Here are a few questions to ask electricians before hiring:
How many years of electrical experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you work with subcontractors?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
What is the timeline for completion?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three customer references?
Several types of light fixtures are available, each requiring different installation techniques. Keep in mind that you’ll need to hire a lighting specialist to install the majority of these fixture types.
Here are some of the most common light fixture options:
Ceiling-mounted fixtures: $90–$230
Pendant lights: $95–$250
Chandeliers: $300–$2,000
Track lighting: $100–$250
Wall-mounted lights: $90–$250
Fluorescent lights: $85–$220
Light bars: $330–$440
