Bathroom Electrical Upgrades in Newmarket

Many older bathrooms have a single fixture over the mirror, or one light in the ceiling. It is enough to see by, but it casts shadows on your face at the mirror and leaves the shower dark. Good lighting comes in layers: soft light for the whole room, clear light at the vanity and a warm accent here and there.

We have built showers with lit niches, vanities lit from below and, in East Gwillimbury, a walk-in shower with a long LED-lit niche. Details like these take up no floor space and change the whole mood of the room.

Lighting also changes how big a room feels. A bright, evenly lit bathroom feels larger and cleaner; a dim one feels small, however nice the tile is.

The light at the vanity is the one you use every day, so it has to be right: bright enough to shave or put on makeup, and placed so it lights your face rather than the top of your head. We install vanity lights above or beside the mirror, wall sconces, and lighting built into niches and under floating vanities.

In a main bathroom with some height, a ceiling chandelier turns the room into something special, especially over a freestanding tub. With our design service, available on request, we help you choose light fixtures that suit the style of the room.

An exhaust fan is not exciting, but it matters. It pulls steam out of the room after a shower, which protects your paint, your mirror and your walls from moisture and mould. If your old fan is noisy, weak or missing, a renovation is the time to replace it.

Older bathrooms often have too few outlets for the way we use them now: a hair dryer, a shaver, an electric toothbrush. We add extra receptacles where you will actually use them. Outlets near water need the right protection, which is one more reason this work belongs with licensed electricians.

Electrical work in a wet room is no place for shortcuts. Our electricians are licensed and fully insured, and they are part of our own team, so the wiring is planned with the design, roughed in while the walls are open and finished once the tile and vanity are in.

That is one of our three layers of protection: $5 million liability insurance, WSIB coverage, and licensed, fully insured plumbers and electricians. Every renovation also comes with our 10-year written warranty.
