A local homeowner had grown increasingly frustrated with her outdated kitchen lighting. The space was lit by a large boxed fluorescent fixture, complete with aging plastic panels that dulled the light and cast an uninviting glow. The outdated setup made the kitchen feel dim and closed-in — far from the bright, welcoming space she wanted.
Ready for a change, she contacted McCray's Handyman, Inc. to explore her options. An estimate was quickly scheduled, and lead technician, Warren arrived to assess the project. The homeowner explained that she wanted to eliminate the old fluorescent tubes and update the space with something more modern and functional.
Warren recommended a full removal of the fluorescent box and enclosure. In its place, he proposed installing four recessed can lights, designed to provide even, efficient lighting across the kitchen. The plan also included ceiling patching, texture blending, and repainting, ensuring a clean, seamless finish. Finally, trim work would complete the upgrade, adding a modern, polished look to the room.
Once the project was completed, the transformation was remarkable. The kitchen was noticeably brighter, with lighting that enhanced the space rather than hindering it. The clean lines and modern fixtures brought a fresh feel, and the improved visibility made everyday tasks more enjoyable.
The homeowner was thrilled with the results and took great pride in showing off her beautifully lit kitchen to family and guests.
Another outdated space transformed — all thanks to the vision and expertise of the team at McCray.
