REMODELING

Remodeling, Renovation and Additions

It’s always a challenge when renovating an older home.  Modern Electric & Lighting Design can enhance your home’s most attractive and unique features while providing present-day comfort,  convenience and energy economy.

Working within restricting planning regulations and compliance with local historical societies can be daunting, while routing of electrical feeds to optimal locations can involve circumvention of windows, brickwork, stone features and a host of legacy architectural impediments.

With attention to detail, old work craftsmanship, precision handiwork  and an eye for the science and psychology of lighting environments, Modern Electric loves this sort of work.

With a reverence for the home’s original details, our philosophy is to meet the trajectory of your emerging lifestyle. Taking into account the future furnishings, room configurations and interior colors, we assess the effects of natural light to better provide the stability and peace of mind with every daily and seasonal cycle.  New skylights, sliding patio doors and bay windows can change the lighting needs of a renovated home in ways that can be optimized for beauty and energy efficiency.

Private nooks and sitting rooms are transformed into reading areas that express your home's personality. Each area of the home can take on its own variation on a theme, or it can be unique, yet complementary . Lighting of long corridors and hallways can affect luminescent transitions. 

Sleeping wings and bedrooms may use a calm, filtered light for a more relaxed atmosphere. Older dining rooms can be enhanced with more versatile lighting controls that can change as the evenings progress and the exchange of guests suggest.
