Order of events for installing recessed lights-help!

17 years ago

I've included a picture of our kitchen here:

{{!gwi}}From New Place
{{!gwi}}From Updates Started!

We want to remove the flourescent light fixtures you see that drop from the ceiling. There is about a 6-inch wide frame that surrounds the flourescent fixtures. We want to put recessed lights in the kitchen instead.

What is the correct order of events?

1. Remove celing drywall/flourescent light fixtures (DIY)

2. Install recessed lights (electrician)

3. Install new drywall (separate drywall company)

4. Then paint?

Or will the electrician need to come back after the drywaller is there?

Or should I find an electrician who can also hire out the drywaller?
