Under-Cabinet Lighting Installation in Auburn & the Foothills

Hardwired & Concealed vs. Plug-In LED Lighting

• Hardwired, concealed installs — the cleanest, most permanent option. We run the wiring inside the wall and cabinets so nothing shows — no cords draped down your backsplash, no plug hogging an outlet.
• Plug-in LED lighting — a lower-cost, renter-friendly option where a hardwired feed is not practical; we still route and hide the cord as neatly as possible.
• Bright, even task light — positioned toward the front of the cabinet so light lands on the counter, not just the backsplash, with no hot spots or dark gaps between fixtures.
• Whole-kitchen planning — we lay out fixture lengths and spacing to suit your cabinet runs, sink and range. Pair it with matching recessed lighting and LED upgrades for a fully lit, modern kitchen.

Powering, Switching & Hiding the Wiring

Frequently Asked Questions

• Should I choose hardwired or plug-in under-cabinet lights? Hardwired is the cleanest, most permanent option — no visible cord and its own switch. Plug-in makes sense for renters or where a hardwired feed is not practical; we hide the cord either way.
• Can you install under-cabinet lighting without any visible wires? Yes — on a hardwired install we route the wiring inside the wall and cabinets so nothing shows. A tidy, cord-free finish is the whole point.
• What is the difference between LED strips, light bars and puck lights? Strips and light bars give a continuous, even line of light along the counter; puck lights throw focused pools and suit glass cabinets and display spots. We often mix them.
• Can the lights be dimmed and change color temperature? Yes — we install dimmable and color-temperature-selectable LEDs so you get bright cool light for tasks and a warm, dim glow for the evening.
• Do I need a new circuit or can you use an existing one? Often we can tap a nearby existing circuit that has spare capacity. If not, we run a new feed — either way it is done safely and to code.
• Can you add a switch or dimmer just for the under-cabinet lights? Absolutely — we add a dedicated wall switch or dimmer so the lighting has its own clean control instead of an inline switch on the cord.
• Can you add motion-sensor or occupancy lighting? Yes — we install motion and occupancy sensors so lights come on as you approach and shut off when you leave, great for pantries, toe-kicks and accent runs.
• Do you also do over-cabinet and toe-kick accent lighting? Yes — over-cabinet uplighting and toe-kick lighting add depth and a high-end look, and we can wire them on the same or a separate control.
