The service
What under-cabinet & cabinet lighting is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
Under-cabinet lighting is a row of LED strips, bars or pucks fixed under the front edge or back of wall cabinets to light the counter, and it can also light the inside of glass-front cabinets. Under-Cabinet & Cabinet Lighting in Sunnyvale is booked through pros who cover its 5 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Cherry Chase, Birdland, and Ortega Park. In Sunnyvale, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. Pricing and warranty come from the independent pro you select, and the choice is yours.

How booking under-cabinet & cabinet lighting works
Say what needs doing
Add your ZIP and a few words about the job.
Compare pros near you
Each pro sets their own price and warranty. NorTech does not pick for you.
Book the pro you pick
Add photos and details on their page. Your card is held and only charged after the work and the photos.
Photos and a warranty
Your pro backs the work with a workmanship warranty — if covered work is not right, your pro makes it right, free.
Before you book under-cabinet & cabinet lighting
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Measure each run
Measure the length under every cabinet and note gaps. LED strips are cut at set intervals, and a measured plan helps the pro bring the right length.
Show where power is
A photo of the nearest outlet, and the inside of the cabinet above the fridge, helps the pro plan a hidden plug or driver.
Choose color temperature
Warm light flatters wood and food. Cooler light helps for detailed work.
Decide on the switch
Say whether you want a wall switch, a dimmer, a remote or a plug-in control. It decides whether new wire is needed.
Empty the cabinets on the working side
The pro needs access inside and under the cabinets. Clear the counters and nearby shelves.
Ask about replaceable parts
LEDs last long, but drivers fail. Ask the pro to leave notes on the model so replacement is easy.
Say where in Sunnyvale you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Cherry Chase, Birdland, and Ortega Park, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
