Better Lighting for Your Denver Home, Done Right
Good lighting changes how a home feels — and bad wiring or a failed fixture can make it a hazard. Done’s electricians have been helping Denver metro homeowners upgrade, repair, and install lighting since 1999. Whether you want recessed LED cans throughout your main floor, a statement chandelier in the dining room, or motion-activated lights on the garage, we do the wiring right and leave no mess behind.
We handle the full range of residential lighting work: new fixture installations, recessed lighting layout and installation, under-cabinet lighting, dimmer wiring, and outdoor landscape and security lighting. Pair your lighting upgrade with smart home controls and you can dim, schedule, and automate every light in the house from your phone. Call 833-539-9153 to get started.
- Clean, Professional Installs We cut clean, patch around fixtures neatly, and clean up completely before we leave. Your lighting looks like it was always there — because it was done right.
- LED Expertise We recommend and install energy-efficient LED fixtures and retrofit kits so your new lighting looks great and costs less to run than what it replaced.
- Safety-First Wiring Every fixture is wired to current code with the correct wire gauge, junction box rating, and support for the fixture's weight — no shortcuts.
When to Call
Signs Your Lighting Needs Professional Attention
Some lighting issues are purely cosmetic. Others point to wiring problems behind the wall. Here's how to tell the difference.
-
Flickering Lights That Won't Quit
A bulb that flickers occasionally might just need to be replaced. Flickering that continues with a new bulb — or that happens in multiple rooms — usually points to a loose connection, a failing switch, or a panel issue that needs diagnosis.
-
Fixtures That Stop Working
If a ceiling light or wall sconce goes completely dark and new bulbs don't fix it, the fixture itself may have failed, the switch could be faulty, or there may be a wiring break in the circuit.
-
Buzzing or Humming Fixtures
A buzzing light fixture often means the wrong bulb type for a dimmer switch, a failing ballast in a fluorescent fixture, or a loose wire vibrating at the connection. Any persistent buzzing is worth having checked.
-
Fixtures That Run Hot
Recessed cans and enclosed fixtures that get extremely hot are usually over-lamped — bulbs with too high a wattage. This degrades the fixture and can cause nearby insulation to deteriorate. A quick fixture or bulb swap fixes it.

★★★★★
A very experienced, professional and skilled team of Caedon, Tyler, James and Eli re-wired the main floor of our 100+ year old home when a small electrical fire was found during a diagnostic visit meant to trouble shoot a malfunctioning bedroom ceiling light.
The team was extremely thorough and corrected several wiring errors that had been done over the past 100 years - some due to code changes and some due to shoddy, cutting-corners-work done on a 10 year old remodel. The project took two days, and included breaker panel additions, discovering buried outlets, and eliminating live sections of wire no longer being used. The team cleaned up the work space every day and patched wall areas that were cut in an attempt to locate buried outlets. With every discovery, the situation was explained in depth and at the level where we could understand the issue.
We have used Done for large plumbing, and now, large electrical work and have been 1000% satisfied with every interaction.

Done is always super quick to send someone out to help me with the problem at hand. Cason was here within an hour or two of the call. She was very professional and took the time to answer all of my questions. She even pointed out several things for me to be aware of/make sure I check regularly to avoid disaster. We have used Done several times so far and will continue to do so, I would highly recommend both Done and Cason. We’ve also really loved working with Dylan, DJ and Aaron (heating).
New Review 12/12/25: Done offers a free electrical inspection for their members and sent Javier out to my house. He was amazing - he encouraged me to follow him around my home during his entire visit so he could teach me about my home, give advice, answer questions, and suggest best practices. It was determined that my 33 year old electrical panel was on its way out and needed replacement. While it wasn't cheap, I felt confident after spending 2 hours with Javier that he knew what he was talking about and that he would take great care in replacing everything correctly and with great attention to detail. Javier is warm, respectful, knowledgable, and makes you feel like family - I will request him for anything electrical in my home from now on and would recommend him to anyone.

We are so pleased and grateful to have come across Done. The sheathing covering the wiring going into our electrical box had pulled away exposing live wires. We called Done and electricians Jeff and James came out to give us an estimate. This repair is not inexpensive, and Jeff went over all the details of the project, the upgrade to our panel the grounding that would bring our electrical system up to code and the approvals that would be required from the county. We scheduled the work and Jeff and James came back and completed everything in one day. We couldn't be happier. In addition to the professionalism of the two guys they were also very personable and fun. Perhaps personable and fun are not necessarily requirements to getting the work done, those attributes go a long way in making you feel they genuinely care. I would highly recommend Done and we will continue to use them for our electrical and plumbing needs in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many recessed lights do I need in a room?
A common starting point is one recessed light per four to six square feet of ceiling, but the right answer depends on the room’s ceiling height, the trim type, the beam angle of the bulb, and how bright you want the space. Our electricians will walk through the room with you and recommend a layout before we cut a single hole.
Can you add recessed lighting without cutting into drywall?
We can minimize drywall work by fishing wire through existing cavities and using remodel-style recessed housings that install from below. In some cases we can add lights with very limited patching. In others, a small amount of drywall access is unavoidable. We’ll tell you honestly what your ceiling requires before we start.
Why does my dimmer switch buzz or flicker?
Most dimmer buzzing is caused by a mismatch between the dimmer and the bulb type — particularly when LED bulbs are used with dimmers designed for incandescent lights. The fix is usually replacing the dimmer with an LED-compatible model or swapping the bulbs for a dimmable variety rated for your existing switch. Done can diagnose and solve it quickly.
Do outdoor light fixtures need a special type of wiring?
Outdoor wiring must be protected from moisture. Fixture junction boxes need to be rated for wet or damp locations depending on exposure, conduit or direct-burial cable must be used for any underground runs, and GFCI protection is required for most exterior outlets and fixtures. Done handles all of this to code so your outdoor lighting holds up through Colorado’s weather.
