Under Cabinet Lighting in Minneapolis–St. Paul

The Upgrade You’ll Notice Every Time You Walk Into the Kitchen

Kitchen lighting often does plenty for the room but very little for the countertop. Cabinets cast shadows exactly where you’re chopping vegetables, reading recipes, making coffee, or helping with homework.

Under-cabinet lighting changes that. It adds light where you actually use it while giving the entire kitchen a warmer, more finished appearance.

Genz-Ryan has helped Twin Cities homeowners improve their homes since 1950 with electrical upgrades that combine thoughtful design and dependable workmanship. Our licensed electricians install under-cabinet lighting that blends seamlessly into your space, improves visibility, and gives your kitchen a polished look without overwhelming the room.

Is Under-Cabinet Lighting Right for Your Home?

Many homeowners don’t realize what they’re missing until the lights are installed.

Countertops Always Feel Too Dark

Even bright overhead lighting can leave shadows along work surfaces. Under-cabinet lighting puts light exactly where meal prep, cooking, and cleanup happen.

You’re Updating the Kitchen

New countertops, backsplashes, cabinets, or appliances deserve lighting that completes the finished look.

You Want the Kitchen to Feel More Inviting

Soft accent lighting creates a comfortable atmosphere for early mornings, family dinners, and evening gatherings without relying solely on bright ceiling fixtures.

You Like the Look of a Custom Kitchen

Under-cabinet lighting adds depth, highlights finishes, and gives the room a clean, high-end appearance that many homeowners are looking for.

Under Cabinet Lighting Installation

Great kitchen lighting isn’t measured by brightness alone. Placement matters just as much.

Our electricians install under-cabinet lighting that provides even illumination across countertops while keeping fixtures tucked neatly out of sight. We carefully route wiring, position lighting for balanced coverage, and recommend options that complement your cabinetry and overall kitchen design.

Popular installation areas include kitchens, coffee bars, butler’s pantries, laundry rooms, home offices, workshop benches, and built-in shelving.

Lighting Options to Consider

Every kitchen has its own personality. The right lighting helps bring it to life.

LED Lighting

Energy-efficient LED fixtures provide bright, consistent light, long service life, and minimal maintenance.

Dimmable Lighting

Adjust brightness throughout the day to create the right setting for cooking, entertaining, or relaxing after dinner.

Warm or Cool Color Temperatures

Choose lighting that complements your cabinetry, countertops, and the overall style of your home.

Hidden Fixtures

Modern under-cabinet lighting stays out of sight, allowing the light itself to become the focal point instead of the fixture.

Jesus explained what he would do if the work is needed and he explained it in layman’s terms and not confusing jargon. Jesus was knowledgeable and professional. He was thorough in pointing out what needed attention and what didn’t. We were happy with Jesus’s service overall. If we had to ask for a technician it would be Jesus.

I had the pleasure of working with Jake Solomon today. He was friendly, comprehensive, speedy, and not at all pushy with upsells today coming out to check an alert on my homepulse system and installing a new unit. Would definitely work with him again

Juan was great. He came in and did the electrical tune up in a reasonable time. He explained what he found and what he would recommend that was needed, giving multiple options to choose from based on how much I wanted to have done. It was nice having those options and what he would recommend and why. Very respectful of property and made me feel at ease. I would recommend Juan for any electrical work needed.
