"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an outstanding experience with Wilsons Electric. Their team was professional, punctual, and completed all of the work with exceptional quality and attention to detail. They installed a dedicated outlet for our carpet cutting machine, new light fixtures in our electrical room, and an additional power outlet in our lobby. From start to finish, communication was excellent, the work area was kept clean, and everything was completed safely and efficiently. It's refreshing to work with a contractor that takes pride in their craftsmanship and delivers exactly what they promise. I highly recommend Wilsons Electric for any commercial or residential electrical needs. We'll definitely be using them again for future projects."
"Great! Denise called me right back. I sent her photos of the job site and lighting fixtures. They quoted me a price and set up a time that same day with technician. Then Oscar called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment time since he was available and nearby. I said sure . Where have I got to go in a pandemic? He did the work quickly and efficiently. He was friendly, wore a mask and was done in less than an hour. He went the extra yard and sealed any gaps with silicone which he didn't have to do. I even got an Angies list discount. Definitely recommend."
"The Wighton's team did a very professional, thorough job. They were very prompt and courteous. They kept everything very clean. The units that they installed work beyond my expectations. I'm very please with the service I received, and would not hesitate to hire them again."
"Aldo helped uninstall 2 light fixtures I had set up. Before arrival he called and texted to let me know he was on his way! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and got the work done very quickly. I highly recommend Aldo and B.K. Electric Services!"
Ciro came by and provided a prompt and thorough quote. We scheduled the repair within the next week.
Roberto showed up early! He took care to cover the floors leading into the bathrooms, covered the fixtures and set about changing round holes to rectangular openings which fit the new fan fixtures. After the drywall installation, he primed the new patch so I will be able to paint to match the rest of the room.
The work was well done and completed within a very short period of time.
I highly recommend Menaci Design Drywall, Ciro and Roberto.
"I did a bathroom remodel which included a new vanity, countertop, bathtub, tile, lighting, plumbing, and flooring. Joe and his team did an amazing job. They are reliable, detail oriented, and provide great customer service. The project ended up being a perfect combination of my personal tastes and Joe's professional input. He even custom made a large vanity mirror when I was unable to find one to fit. I would definitely recommend Kincaid Development."
"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.
I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."
"Our recent home remodel was pretty extensive. I knew I wanted to change some things, improve some things, and fix some problems with our house, but I didn't have any idea how to get there. From my initial meetings with Tony, I could tell that he was comfortable with the scope of the project, and that I would be able to work with him through all the challenges that I figured would come with a project of this size. Now that we've finished our project, I can say I'm glad we went with OM Construction. The price was fair, the guys were onsite 6 days a week from start to finish, and the quality of work was very good. During the project, Tony always had a positive attitude, and worked to help us solve a lot of problems with our old house ranging from framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, doors, and windows. His guys did a good amount of finish work too, including stucco repair, laminate flooring installation, molding installation, drywall/skim coating, and interior and exterior painting. Marcos, Carlos, Josue and Elias were all very respectful while in our house and took extra effort to clean up well at the end of every day. Overall I think the project turned out great, and I'll definitely call Tony the next time I have a project I can't handle on my own."
Chandelier Installation questions, answered by experts
The distance from the dining table to the bottom of the chandelier's droptop is essential when hanging your light fixture. For example, the fixture should hang 30 to 36 inches above the table for an 8-foot ceiling. If your ceiling is higher than the standard eight feet, add three inches of chandelier height for every foot of ceiling height.
There are four main types of lighting used in homes: ambient, task, accent, and decorative. Within these categories, there are a number of fixtures to choose from including ceiling-mounted lights, floor lamps, under-cabinet lights, track lighting, and more.
Choosing the fixture that’s right for you depends on your home design and the area you’re looking to illuminate.
Combining different shapes with your chandelier and table can be a stylish way to add depth to your dining room. Whether you’re using a round chandelier over a rectangular table or a square chandelier over a round table, the general sizing principle is the same: Measure the narrowest point of the table and the widest point of the chandelier so you don’t end up with a fixture that overwhelms the space.
A wafer light lasts about 30,000 to 50,000 hours, depending on the quality and usage. Doing the math translates to approximately 10 to 20 years of regular use. LED wafer lights are known for their energy efficiency and longevity, significantly outlasting traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs.
Factors such as usage patterns, operating environment, and stability and consistency of the electrical supply influence their life span. Regular use in a residential setting ensures these lights provide long-term, reliable illumination with minimal maintenance.
When replacing a chandelier, there is little need to do any significant re-modifications. The cost will vary depending on whether the existing wiring is functional. Expect to pay around $115 to $280. If you install a chandelier in a position without any wiring, installation costs range from $145 to $400. Certain factors can also increase the price, such as upgrading junction boxes or installing heavy fixtures.
