New Canaan project context
Respect the architecture while improving how the home works
Explore the complete New Canaan guideNew Canaan projects may involve architecturally significant details, custom materials, carefully proportioned interiors, later additions, or modern systems integrated into established homes. The work should begin with documentation and a clear standard for what must be preserved, matched, repaired, or redesigned. Kennedy can coordinate interior renovation, custom carpentry, lighting, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, automation, exterior repairs, painting, pool-area work, hardscape, landscape restoration, and property care. Where an architect, designer, engineer, or existing specialty vendor is involved, Kennedy can organize construction input and implementation around that team.

Helpful first details for lighting installation
Tell us which rooms you want to light, what fixtures you have selected, and whether you need new wiring run.
Layout and placement matter
A successful lighting project begins with proper layout. We determine spacing for recessed lights to avoid shadows, place pendants at comfortable heights, and coordinate color temperature (K) to match your interior design.
Heavy fixture mounting safety
Large chandeliers and foyer fixtures require specialized ceiling support boxes and bracing. We ensure all structural framing and junction boxes are engineered to support the weight of your premium fixtures.
Drywall patching and finish painting
Running new wiring behind existing ceilings often requires small access holes. We coordinate clean drywall repair and finish painting so your ceilings look perfect once the lights are on.
