Default Fixture Covers

Hey guys. The guy that did the work in my basement made a dumb
mistake and cut my fixture holes too wide and tall. When I put the
covers on I can see open space around the outside. He did this to
several.

What are my options? At first I was just going to look for wider and
taller fixture covers, but I thought maybe somebody knew a trick I
could do.

If you are referring to wall plates for your electrical switches and
receptacles, there are mid size and king size available. Try an electrical
supply company for these. The other option is to patch the gaps. Usually
the guys who tape and spackle will take care of that.
