Description of Work: They installed 6 recessed lights in the living room. Installed a ceiling fan in bedroom (with remote control) with no prior ceiling fan wiring. Installed a ceiling fan in family room with remote control. The ceiling fans I had to purchase prior to the install. Installation went quickly and all with no mess. They laid plastic sheeting on and around everything. My wife is already looking for new projects for them to do.

Description of Work: I replaced two florescent bulbs with two recessed halogen lights in my laundry room. I also had a fire detector removed which they said they could only push up into the ceiling/attic because it was hard wired. My only complaints are: the drywall in the laundry room ceiling has a crack about 4" long. They also recommended I put two recessed lights in my very small laundry room instead of one. I was concerned that the room would be too bright since these new halogen bulbs were more than three times brighter than my two florescent bulbs, but they insisted I would want two. The room is overwhelmingly bright! Sometimes I'm okay with the brightness, but other times such as early in the morning, it's too shocking. I wish I would have gone with my gut instinct. The only other issue was the the drywall on the ceiling where the fire detector was. It needed to be knocked down more, but the drywall was too damp. They told me to take sand paper and knock it down a bit more once it was more dry. I believe the crack in the laundry room ceiling and this issue with the upstairs drywall was due to impatience and not wanting to wait around for things to dry. They need to put in this extra time to finish the job correctly. Now I'll have a crack in the laundry room ceiling until I pay another drywall company to repair.

Description of Work: Replaced box lighting in the kitchen with crown molding and LED lighting. Installed a couple recessed lights and replaced a light fixture outside. |It went great. The pricing was very reasonable. I had gotten several other quotes from licensed and unlicensed contractors and all of them were around the same price. After reading the reviews and meeting Andrew, I was confident they would be the best for my job. They sent two younger guys who were very pleasant and professional. They retextured the ceiling so everything would flow. They communicated well on what they were doing. The only thing they didn't do was paint, but I knew that ahead of time. It looks 100% better! I actually have them coming back to give me a quote on coaxial cable installation next. I'd post a picture, but I don't see how I can attach one.

They did a superb job. Starting from the quotation process, which they were punctual and organized -- all the way through execution. The lights were installed exactly according to plan, with dimmers and all. We even made real-time changes to lighting placement, and they accommodated. The ceiling patch is just about perfect. They left zero mess, having put down plastic everywhere to catch any residues. Price was slightly premium, but worth it.
Description of Work: They installed recessed lighting in my family room and living room. They also cleaned up an existing poor drywall patch job from previous house owner.

We did have an issue regarding the original quote of the dimmers. We wanted two dimmers in two separate locations to control the living room lights. However, in order to do that you needed a special kind of dimmer which would have cost us an additional $100. This cost was not initially addressed in the original quote. The owner (Andrew) personally call and apologized for the misunderstanding and offered to eat the cost of the labor and install the dimmers for $80. But other than that overall we had a great experience. They were prompt, professional, and friendly. We couldn't have been more pleased with the results. The lights look beautiful.
Description of Work: Installed recessed lighting in the living room (with dimmers), kitchen, and hallways.

Excellent service. Although it took longer than planned, they stayed late and finished the job. Clean up was perfect, no trash or dust, and the lights work well and look beautiful. Minimal additional holes in walls or ceiling, and all were patched and paint-ready as promised. Staff were professional and efficient, as well as friendly.
Description of Work: Installed recessed ceiling lights throughout the house: 3 bedrooms, den, living room, kitchen and family room, plus added a box and installed regular fixture in one bathroom.
