Re: Electrical Home Work / Recessed Lighting Specific

I've got a friend that I hired to wire a celiing fan, my lift and some 220 outlets at my shop. He's fast and relatively inexpensive. He told me he charges $65-$70/can light to builders and we paid $100/can when we built our house.

We have almost 50 can lights in and outside our house. Our entire outside front and rear lighting is cans in the soffits. You can't go wrong from an investment perspective with can lighting. Track lighting is easy to do and isn't bad, but can actually hurt house values depending on the price of the house.
