        "text": "Yes, electrical outlets and switch boxes typically need adjustments because tile and thin-set mortar add 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of depth to the wall. Leaving boxes recessed creates unstable, wobbly receptacles and violates basic safety standards. During installation, box extenders or spacer shims are added so the outlets sit flush with the finished tile face. As a licensed general contractor coordinating complete kitchen renovations, Abraham Becerra manages trade coordination to ensure switches, outlets, and under-cabinet lighting sit cleanly and safely within the finished tile layout.",
