Geico Builders specializes in meeting your expectations before, during, and after the project is complete. Our most upstanding quality is our accountability--you can expect us to own the work we complete for your home. Of course, we know accountability means nothing without proof, which is why we are happy to offer a 2-year workmanship warranty to all of our clients. This is a rare quality for this industry, but we wanted to prove to you that we stand by our craftsmanship through our home remodeling construction services. Every Crew at Geico Builders has been professionally trained and will treat your home with integrity and respect.

"We were looking to expand our house for years, with addition ADU. We had selected Geico Builders for their craftsmanship, selection of materials and the competitive pricing. Mila and Kevin worked with us to renovate our enclosed patio build a primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. It turned out amazing. We went through several revisions in the design, and they took care of the permits and paperwork with the city. My wife works from home, so they mindful in working around her availability. Overall, the project took about 14 months from when we found them due to permits taking a few months. it's hard living in a construction zone but the team went above and beyond to minimize the impact it had on our lives. They have a great team that is very attentive and responsive. Some of my parts are on back order and the team will be back to install the missing lights and shelves we bought as finishes. I will work with them again if I projects. Great professionals to trust your home."

Unique Pavers specializing in outdoor living and a leader in providing our customers with the highest quality service in an honest, efficient, and professional way. Our pledge is to create successful relationships with our customers, employees and community by building trust, treating every project with the utmost integrity and exceeding expectations. We look forward to working with you!

"Rick is the owner and is one of the main reasons I prefer owner-run companies to do my projects. They are flexible and responsive, pivot quickly, work w/ you to make sure you get what you want. I was helping my daughter who bought her first house and the backyard was so run down and unkept. I ran a bid process w/ 3 vendors - a big company turf supplier/installer, a small company highly recommended by Yelp and Unique Pavers. Unique was clearly the best vendor when considering quality, price and responsiveness. And the real test was when we had a change of heart of what we wanted after it was installed. Unique worked w/ us, provided an alternative solution quickly and did the revised work and still was w/in the committed delivery date. The quality of the work was excellent. And I am really a tough and demanding customer so it speak volumes that I left completely satisfied and felt I got great value from Unique. The best part is when my daughter saw the finished work, she was so excited about the transformation of her backyard. Make me feel great as a dad!"

Exterior Lighting questions, answered by experts

Most commercial projects take 3-7 days, including curing time, depending on size and weather conditions.

The type of lighting you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.

LED lights last much longer than conventional incandescent light bulbs. Most manufacturers estimate that LED bulbs can last between 10 and 15 years, but they more often last between four and seven years with regular use. Other factors, such as heat exposure and surging electrical currents, can cause an LED bulb to burn out prematurely.

Several types of light fixtures are available, each requiring different installation techniques. Keep in mind that you’ll need to hire a lighting specialist to install the majority of these fixture types.

Here are some of the most common light fixture options:

  • Ceiling-mounted fixtures: $90–$230

  • Pendant lights: $95–$250

  • Chandeliers: $300–$2,000

  • Track lighting: $100–$250

  • Wall-mounted lights: $90–$250

  • Fluorescent lights: $85–$220

  • Light bars: $330–$440

Options include pathway lights, spotlights, and smart lighting systems. Choose based on function and aesthetics.
