Recessed Lighting Installation in Potomac, MD

A Potomac kitchen that's never been remodeled usually has a boxed bulkhead running above the wall cabinets, and that decides where a fixture can sit.

Call (301) 395-3831

A dropped bulkhead takes fixtures at a different height from the rest of the ceiling, and lights set into it wash the cabinet fronts rather than the floor. Whether it stays or comes out is the first decision in a Potomac kitchen of that vintage.

What Affects the Cost of Recessed Lighting in Potomac, MD

No prices appear on this page because every job is different. Whether that boxed section stays in place is the variable, and it changes more than the lighting. Fixtures set into it are shallow work with framing close behind, and the layout follows the boxing round the room. Taking it out instead is a different project altogether, opening the ceiling and the wall over the units. We set out both, so the lighting plan gets made alongside that decision rather than after it.

Frequently Asked Questions

If the kitchen is being redone anyway, that's the moment. Removing it gives you a flat ceiling, full-height cabinets and a free hand with the lighting. If the cabinets are staying, leave it, because taking it out exposes a raw strip over the wall units that has to be finished and painted. Lighting works either way. It's a cabinet decision, not a lighting one.

They can, and in a large kitchen that's often the better answer. Fixtures in the boxing sit close to the wall and drop light down the cabinet fronts and onto the counter, which is where it's wanted. Depth inside a boxed section is commonly three or four inches, so it takes a shallow housing. We confirm that before anything is ordered.
