"3 ceiling fans and 1 ceiling light were installed in 1 day as promised. I like that they text me a day before to confirm/remind me of the upcoming appointment, and that they show up on time. They were courteous and professional. They cleaned up, patched up, and vacuum after the job. I'm pleased with the job performed and would definitely use them again for any future electrical related jobs."
"Just wanted to say thank you for bringing power to our therapy rooms, adding outlets, lights, ceiling fans, etc. The troubleshooting you did on the interior for lighting, is still working properly. Thank you again. And especially when you came out on an emergency call when the power was out to our whole facility. You had it fixed within the hour. It was a pleasure to find a vendor that wanted to earn our respect, you certainly did. Thank you very much. Operations Director Blake Klein"
"Excellent! They were in and out with a crew in one day. We were replacing under kitchen cabinet fluorescent lights with LED. On one cabinet that sits aline, it gave the optical illusion that it was not as bright as the other sections. Will Martinez the owner, came over on Sunday @ 10 am to fix things South as that it looked as it should. All included in the original estimate and invoice. No Extra Charge. TRUE Customer SERVICE!!!!"
"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!"
"We had a great experience with this father/son electrician team. They installed numerous light fixtures along with several light switches and dimmers and everything was done cleanly and professionally. You can really tell they take pride in their work-each detail was handled carefully and the results look fantastic. They were punctual, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with throughout the project. It’s refreshing to work with a family-run business that clearly values quality and customer satisfaction.
Highly recommend!

"Saiyan Electric exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Julio and Rodrigo completed my panel upgrade and did outstanding work. The installation was flawless and passed city inspection immediately. Walter handled the stucco repair, and it also passed inspection right away. Everything was done professionally and looks great. A big thank you to William for his excellent customer service. He was always quick to respond to calls and texts, kept me updated throughout the project, and made the entire process easy. The crew was professional, respectful, and left the work area spotless when they finished. Honestly, I did not expect this level of customer service and attention to detail. Quality work, great communication, and a smooth experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend Saiyan Electric."
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Pearl Remodeling on a full kitchen and bathroom remodel, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and actually enjoyable—thanks in large part to my contractor, Ben, who was an absolute standout throughout the entire process. Ben was communicative, detail-oriented, and incredibly respectful of my time and home. He kept me updated every step of the way and made sure all my questions and concerns were addressed promptly and thoroughly. His crew was equally professional, showing up on time every day, working efficiently, and keeping the space as clean as possible (special thanks to Daniel for coming up with the backsplash border tile idea!). The quality of the workmanship is top-notch. The kitchen looks great and is highly functional, and the new bathroom has transformed the way I use the space. Every finish and fixture was installed with care, and it’s clear that Pearl Remodeling takes great pride in their work. What impressed me most was Ben’s commitment to making sure everything was done right—not just quickly. He noticed things I never would’ve caught, and applied his own high standards to my project. I’m incredibly grateful for it. I wholeheartedly recommend Pearl Remodeling—and especially Ben—to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable remodeling work. If I ever take on another project, they will be my first call!"
Mr. Dove didn't do the work. It was two of his employees or subcontractors. The installation of the wiring, ceiling fan and ceiling light went fine, but the drywall repair wasn't that good. The texture they sprayed on the walls didn't even remotely match the existing wall texture, so their patch job was obvious. Also, they didn't reconnect something in one of the outlets so only the top socket worked. When I notified Mr. Dove, he came out the next day to fix it. I was impressed by Mr. Dove's professionalism, and would hire him again provided he did the work.
"Very well. Pete came out to measure and check the installation area. We discussed what I wanted; he got all the specs and made some good suggestions. Pete gave me an estimate and took a deposit; he gave an approximate delivery and installation date. Pete installed and completed the job in a timely manner at the cost given earlier. His work is excellent. The bookcases look terrific. My wife and I are very pleased. We recommend Pete Pena."
"We've used Best Builders Group for two kitchen remodels. Highly skilled workers, great communication (Sophia is THE Best!), timely deadlines, and reasonable prices. Our second remodel was completed in just over three weeks and is just beautiful. We would use them again."
While under-cabinet lighting isn’t a requirement, it’s one of those features that, once you add it, you’ll wonder how you ever functioned without it. Ask any interior designer or lighting designer, and they’ll tell you that lighting can transform the look and feel of a room. Under-cabinet lighting is also very functional: You can use it to highlight a display of collectibles, illuminate your work surface during mealtime prep, and more.
When hanging a chandelier, the distance from the ceiling depends on the room and height. For standard 8-9 foot ceilings, chandeliers in living areas or bedrooms should hang 7 feet from the floor. In dining rooms, the chandelier should be placed 30-34 inches above the table.
For higher or vaulted ceilings, adjust accordingly, ensuring the chandelier remains balanced and visually appealing. Aim for chandeliers in entryways to be 7 feet from the floor or adjust for high ceilings to make a grand statement. Always consider the room's function and the desired lighting effect to achieve the perfect placement.
Motion-sensor lights use one watt while on standby and five watts while turned on. They’re usually on for one hour over a 24-hour period, bringing the total wattage to about 28 watts per day. LED lights use around 6.5 to 8 watts while on. If you leave an LED light on all night, with night ranging from 10 to 14 hours, you’re looking at using 65 to 112 watts a night. You can minimally cut your wattage in half by switching to a motion-sensor light.
It’s technically possible to install your own outdoor lighting, but we only recommend it for wireless set-ups, which won’t last as long as wired outdoor lights. Installing wired lighting around your property requires help from a professional electrician, especially since improper installation can increase the risk of fire. You may need a licensed professional to pull an electrical permit for you and sign off on the work. We suggest leaving the work to an expert to ensure good design, maximum security for your home, and the best quality work possible that will last for decades.
For every foot of ceiling height, your chandelier should have two to three inches of height. To calculate the width of the ideal chandelier, determine the width and length of the room.
Add these two numbers together and that is the number of inches wide your chandelier should be. For example, if your room is 15 feet wide and 15 feet tall, you will need a chandelier that is 30 inches wide.
