What Houston Homeowners Say About Our Furniture Assembly Services
WHAT WE DO
Light Fixtures We Install in Houston
We install and replace the following fixture types throughout the Houston area:
Chandeliers
Chandelier installation is one of the most requested jobs we do in Houston - particularly in dining rooms, foyers, and primary bedrooms. We handle both standard chandelier swaps and heavier statement pieces that require proper ceiling support. If your existing box isn't rated for the weight of your new chandelier, we install a fan-rated brace rated for the load before mounting. No cutting corners on a fixture that weighs 40 pounds over your dining table.
Pendant Lights
Pendant lights over kitchen islands, breakfast bars, and reading nooks are among the most common upgrades Houston homeowners make. We install single pendants and multi-pendant runs from existing ceiling boxes. If you're doing a kitchen refresh in Spring Branch or Meyerland and want three pendants over your island, we coordinate the spacing, set the drop height to your spec, and make sure each one is level.
Flush Mount & Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Fixtures
The most straightforward fixture swap - and still the one that makes the biggest visual difference in a lot of Houston homes. Builder-grade flush mounts are almost universally uninspired. Replacing them is fast, clean, and one of the highest-impact improvements you can make to a room for the money. We swap flush mounts in bedrooms, hallways, closets, laundry rooms, and anywhere else your current fixture is overdue for replacement.
Bathroom Vanity Bars & Sconces
Bathroom lighting directly affects how the space looks and functions day to day. We replace vanity bars - single bar, double bar, Hollywood-style - and install wall sconces flanking mirrors. Bathroom wiring in older Houston homes (particularly those built before 1980) occasionally shows its age during these jobs; we'll let you know honestly if we see anything that warrants attention before proceeding.
Outdoor Wall Fixtures & Porch Lights
Curb appeal matters in Houston's competitive real estate market, and porch lights are the easiest outdoor upgrade most homeowners overlook. We replace exterior wall fixtures, front entry lights, garage-adjacent sconces, and covered patio fixtures. Outdoor installs use weatherproof wire connections and properly gasketed mounting plates - done right, your outdoor fixtures won't let moisture in behind the wall.
What's Included in Every Installation
Safe disconnection of the existing fixture with power confirmed off at the breaker
Inspection of existing wiring and box condition before mounting the new fixture
Ceiling support upgrade if required – fan-rated brace installed for heavier fixtures
Cleanup – old fixture removed and taken with us, any packaging disposed of
Clean, code-correct wire connections – no wire nuts hanging loose, no tape over connections
Secure mounting and canopy installation with no visible gaps at the ceiling
Bulb installation and full function test before we pack up
What to Have Ready Before We Arrive
Done Right Houston is a handyman installation service – you source the fixture, we install it. Here’s what to have ready:
Your fixture – unboxed and accessible. We verify all mounting hardware, canopy, and wire leads are present at the start of the job.
Fixture manufacturer instructions if included – useful for non-standard mounting configurations
Access to your circuit breaker so we can safely cut power to the circuit
Ceiling height or drop length preference for pendants and chandeliers – we’ll confirm with you before setting the final height
Do You Need an Electrician to Replace a Light Fixture?
For a standard fixture replacement – swapping one fixture for another at an existing, wired ceiling box – no. In Texas, a handyman can legally and safely replace a light fixture when the existing wiring is already in place. A licensed electrician is required when new wiring needs to be run, a new circuit needs to be added, or panel work is involved.
For a straightforward fixture swap in your Heights dining room or your Bellaire entryway, Done Right Houston gives you the same quality installation at a fraction of the cost – without the dispatch fees, hourly minimums, or sales pitch for services you don’t need.
How Much Does Light Fixture Installation Cost in Houston?
Light fixture installation cost in Houston depends on the type of fixture, the complexity of the mount, and whether any additional ceiling support is needed. We give you a clear price before starting – no surprises mid-job.
What affects the cost:
Fixture type – a flush mount swap is faster than a multi-arm chandelier with separate canopy hardware and a chain that needs sizing
Fixture weight – heavy chandeliers require a ceiling brace installation before mounting, which adds time
Existing box condition – if the existing junction box is damaged or not rated for your new fixture, we address it before mounting
Number of fixtures – booking multiple rooms in one visit reduces the per-fixture cost
Ceiling height – standard to 10ft is no issue; higher ceilings require additional setup time

If you’re updating a bathroom vanity, mirror, or other fixtures at the same time, let us know about the complete project. We may be able to help with other related handyman work as well.
Chandelier Installation
Chandeliers can completely change the look of an entryway, dining room, bedroom, or other area of the home, but larger fixtures require careful installation and positioning.
Done Right Houston provides chandelier installation for residential properties, including projects involving larger or higher-mounted fixtures.
Before scheduling a chandelier installation, let us know the approximate size and weight of the fixture and where it will be installed. This helps us understand the requirements of the project before work begins.
If you have a high ceiling or a particularly large chandelier, provide those details when contacting us so we can determine whether the project is appropriate for our service.
Ceiling Light Installation
Replacing a ceiling light is one of the most common lighting updates homeowners make.
Whether you’re replacing an older flush-mount fixture, installing a new ceiling light, or updating lighting as part of a room renovation, Done Right Houston can help with many residential ceiling light installation projects.
We remove the existing fixture when necessary, install the replacement, and test the finished fixture before completing the work.
LED, Recessed & Downlighting Installation
LED lighting, recessed lighting, and downlighting can provide a cleaner and more modern look while changing how a room is illuminated.
Done Right Houston can work with certain residential LED and lighting fixture installations. The requirements vary depending on whether you’re replacing an existing fixture or creating a completely new lighting location.
If your project involves adding new recessed lights, running new wiring, modifying electrical circuits, or other substantial electrical work, provide those details when contacting us so we can determine what is involved and whether the project is appropriate for our service.
Light Fixture Repair & Replacement
Not every lighting problem means that the entire fixture needs to be replaced.
Sometimes the issue involves the fixture itself, while other problems may relate to the switch, connection, mounting hardware, or electrical components.
Done Right Houston can assess many common residential light fixture issues and help determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
If a fixture is damaged, loose, flickering, no longer functioning properly, or simply outdated, tell us what’s happening when you request service.
Can a Handyman Install a Light Fixture?
Yes, a handyman can handle many straightforward residential light fixture replacement and installation projects.
Done Right Houston provides handyman light fixture installation for homeowners who need to replace an existing fixture or install a compatible fixture in an existing location.
The exact requirements depend on the fixture and the existing electrical setup. If the project involves significant electrical modifications, new circuits, extensive wiring, or other work outside a straightforward fixture installation, those requirements should be discussed before scheduling.
What Does Light Fixture Installation Include?
For a typical fixture replacement, the process starts with removing the existing fixture and preparing the installation area.
The new fixture is then mounted according to its installation requirements, connected to the existing electrical setup when appropriate, positioned correctly, and tested.
We also pay attention to the finished appearance. A light fixture should not only function properly – it should be straight, securely mounted, and appropriately positioned within the room.
Once the work is complete, we clean up the immediate work area.
Types of Light Fixtures We Install
Homeowners use many different types of lighting throughout their homes, and the right fixture depends on the room and the desired look.
Done Right Houston can work with many common residential fixtures, including ceiling lights, pendant lights, chandeliers, bathroom vanity lights, LED fixtures, flush-mount lights, and other decorative or functional lighting.
If you have a specific fixture you’ve purchased, send us the details before scheduling whenever possible. This helps us determine what will be involved with the installation.
Do I Need an Electrician to Install a Light Fixture?
It depends on the project.
Replacing an existing light fixture using an appropriate existing electrical connection is different from installing an entirely new lighting location or modifying the home’s electrical system.
For a straightforward residential fixture replacement, Done Right Houston may be able to handle the installation as part of our handyman services. Projects involving new circuits, significant wiring changes, panel work, or other specialized electrical requirements may require an appropriately licensed electrician.
If you’re unsure which type of professional your project requires, describe the project when you contact us and we’ll help determine the appropriate next step.
