For Kitchen Pendant Lighting Installation in Bergenfield, Tenafly, Englewood, Paramus, Teaneck, New Milford and New Jersey (NJ) we begin with your ceiling layout, including the location of joists, existing wiring runs and the best drop height above your island or countertop. We use separate circuits as necessary, install pendant weight rated junction boxes and run wiring neatly through the attic space. All the custom pendant lights are leveled very accurately to ensure all the lights are in perfect alignment when a multiple light fixture set-up is required. Our Kitchen Remodels Pendant Lighting work is wired, secured and finished with no mess of hardware visible either as a single statement piece or as a set of 3 lights hanging across your island.
Changing an old fixture is not just unscrew and rehang! First step in our Pendant Light Replacement in Bergenfield, Tenafly, Englewood, Paramus, Teaneck, New Milford and New Jersey (NJ) is to determine if the existing junction box is rated for the new fixture’s weight, if it is not, we replace it first. Then we match the wiring size, tie all wiring in the canopy and adjust the correct cord or rod length for your ceiling height. When it comes to getting the right pendant light replacement, upgrading from an older design may require some retrofitting of the older wiring. All pendant fixture upgrades are checked for safe load and for compatibility of the dimmer before we consider them complete.
We are Kitchen Pendant Lighting Experts in New Jersey (NJ), and have fitted lights in all sorts of kitchen layouts – galley, open, L-shaped or vaulted. With all pendant lighting, our lighting remodeling professionals understand the difference in ceiling height affects cord drop, and how to position pendants over islands, even when the rough-in box was not positioned optimally. We’re not about to guess, we’re going to measure, mark and verify placement with you before the first hole is opened in your ceiling. We are trained kitchen pendant light installers and we take every installation seriously, as if it were permanent, and not a quick stopgap.
The best kitchen pendant fixtures are those that are evenly distributed and well-balanced. Three pendants, spaced evenly, in the 6-8″ diameter range are easy to work over a typical island, more for a modern bolder design, the larger the pendants and the fewer the number the better. Black metal pendants work well in industrial and farmhouse kitchens, as do smoked or seeded glass pieces, which bring texture without cluttering up the cabinets. Want drama? One large oversized drum pendant above a round breakfast table immediately attracts the attention. If kitchens have a two-tone cabinet style, then it is best to choose an identical pendant style for the lower cabinetry hardware, as it will tie the room together without being too distracting.
Pendants can do what recessed lighting can’t: They place light where the work is. On an island or peninsula, they will remove the shadows overhead can lighting casts on your preparation area. They can do more than just serve a purpose these are some of the quickest ways to change the entire look of a kitchen. Just a few touch-ups in the fixture can make a space builder grade to a custom grade. Pendants offer the added benefit of being dimmable (bright for cooking, low for dinner, etc.), but without the need to re-wire the entire kitchen. They can create a sense of vertical interest in spaces that would otherwise be flat, creating a sense of lift and making ceilings seem more deliberate.

We assess both. If existing wiring or the junction box isn't up to the new fixture's requirements, we update those first no shortcuts.
