Hi Mike, Yep all that is required here from what I understand. I had to do that in my garage. But didn't have to do an arc Fault protector.

It appears at this point most inspectors don't require the Arc fault breakers on a remodel project, but they are available. Initial marketing/coding they were only required certain areas of a residence, that has been expanded, some inspectors require them everywhere on new construction/new homes.    Surprisingly there are Arc fault/ground fault circuit breakers and Double pole Arc fault breakers.    A little tougher to find these items at your local big box store. These are not a relatively cheap item.   

Another point of interest, that seems to get a lot of attention on remodels is addition of,  AC powered, inter-connected Smoke Detectors.  

Best wishes with your project.  

Mike CT.
