Why Junction Homes Need Professional Lighting Installation
Junction's diverse housing stock presents unique lighting challenges requiring specialized expertise and careful planning.
Heritage & Pre-War Homes
Junction Village, Baby Point, and Humbercrest feature stunning pre-1930s brick homes with original knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded systems, and century-old plaster ceilings requiring precision IC-rated installations.
Post-War & Mid-Century Builds
High Park North, Runnymede, and Junction South neighborhoods built in the 1950s-70s often contain aluminum wiring, outdated 60-100 amp panels needing upgrades for modern lighting.
Modern Condos & New Construction
Bloor West corridor developments and new infill builds feature builder-grade lighting requiring smart home integration, LED compatibility, and future-ready circuitry for automation systems.
⚠️ Need Lighting Installation for Insurance Approval?
Many Junction homeowners discover their knob-and-tube wiring or outdated electrical systems prevent insurance renewal. We provide ESA-certified lighting installations with full documentation that satisfies insurer requirements and City of Toronto building permits.

When to call a licensed electrician for your Junction home's lighting needs.
Dark Rooms & Poor Illumination
Your Junction heritage home has single ceiling fixtures leaving corners dark. Modern layered lighting with pot lights, pendants, and accent lighting transforms functionality and ambiance.
Flickering LED Lights
Incompatible dimmer switches cause LED bulbs to flicker or buzz. You need LED-rated dimmers and proper load balancing for smooth, silent operation.
Kitchen Renovation or Addition
Planning a kitchen update or basement finish? Lighting design should come first—not after drywall. We coordinate with contractors for seamless installations.
Outdated Fixtures & Styles
1970s popcorn ceilings with brass fixtures don't match your renovated Junction home. Modern pot lights and contemporary pendants provide instant updates.
No Under-Cabinet Lighting
Shadows on countertops make food prep difficult and dangerous. Hardwired LED under-cabinet lighting provides bright, even task illumination without cords.
Smart Home Integration Needed
You want voice control, scheduling, and scenes but have standard switches. We install Lutron, Philips Hue, and integrated smart lighting systems.
High Energy Bills from Old Lighting
Incandescent and halogen bulbs waste electricity and generate heat. LED pot light retrofits cut lighting energy use by 75% with better quality light.
Insufficient Circuits for New Lights
Your 60-amp service panel can't support additional pot lights without tripping breakers. We assess capacity and upgrade circuits or panels as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about lighting installation in Junction homes.
Pot light installation typically costs $175-$275 per light depending on ceiling type, accessibility, and wiring requirements. Junction's heritage homes with plaster ceilings require specialized cutting techniques and may be at the higher end. Bulk installations (8+ lights) often qualify for better per-light pricing. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific home.
Yes—we specialize in Junction's heritage homes with plaster and lath ceilings. We use diamond-tipped hole saws, precise measurements, and careful technique to minimize vibration and prevent cracking. Any minor damage is professionally patched and finished. We've completed hundreds of installations in Junction's pre-war brick homes without structural issues.
Simple fixture replacements don't require permits. Adding new circuits, running new wiring, or installing multiple pot lights typically requires an ESA permit and City of Toronto building permit approval. We handle all permit applications, ESA inspections, and documentation as part of our service—included in your quote with no extra fees.
A general guideline is one pot light per 20-25 square feet for ambient lighting. A 200 sq ft living room needs 8-10 lights; a 150 sq ft kitchen needs 6-8 lights plus task lighting. Junction's older homes with high ceilings may need closer spacing. We create custom layouts during consultation to ensure even coverage without dark spots or over-lighting.
Many Junction heritage homes have 60-100 amp service panels that may lack capacity for extensive lighting additions. During assessment, we calculate electrical load and determine if your panel can support new circuits. LED pot lights use minimal power (8-12 watts each), so most panels can accommodate them. If an upgrade is needed, we provide options and transparent pricing.
Yes—we regularly install pot lights in finished ceilings with no attic access using remodel-style housings. We cut precise holes, fish wiring between joists, and use IC-rated fixtures suitable for contact with insulation. Junction's multi-story homes and condos typically have this constraint. The process is clean and produces professional results.
Simple pendant or chandelier installations take 1-2 hours. Installing 6-8 pot lights in one room typically takes a full day. Larger projects involving multiple rooms, new circuits, or smart home integration may take 2-3 days. We provide accurate timelines with your quote and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your Junction home.
Yes—we're happy to install fixtures you've purchased from retailers or online. Ensure they're CSA or ULC approved for use in Canada (required for code compliance and insurance). Have fixtures on-site before your appointment so we can verify compatibility, mounting requirements, and included hardware. We can also recommend quality fixtures if you prefer professional sourcing.
What Junction Homeowners Say
Real reviews from lighting installation projects we've completed.
"Kolji Bros installed 14 pot lights throughout our 1920s brick home in Junction Village. I was worried about the plaster ceilings, but they cut every hole perfectly without a single crack. The lighting layout they designed makes our dark living room and kitchen feel completely transformed. Professional, clean, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend for heritage homes."
"We needed under-cabinet lighting and pendant lights for our kitchen renovation. Kolji Bros helped us pick the right fixtures, coordinated perfectly with our contractor, and the installation was flawless. They even installed smart dimmers so we can control everything from our phones. The attention to detail and customer service exceeded expectations. Our High Park North kitchen looks amazing."
