"Cipriano has been working with us for 7 years on maintaining our yard. He has a wealth of knowledge on plants, flowers, and trees. He landscaped our front and back yards, which included fencing and irrigation and drainage. When dealt with a problem he is able to provide workable ideas to solve it…which he has done several times for us. He has a “good eye” for what works best and a real passion for gardening and landscaping."

"Gabriel arrived right on time, and spent half an hour troubleshooting my landscape lighting problem. The repair needed some sod lifted, which I will have done by the gardener. Gabriel was very polite and conscientious in looking for other solutions that did not require this. I will definitely call them again if I for electrical needs."

"I hired Jacqueline of JP Green Design in July 2025 to redecorate my great room. In addition to her design talent, she's patient, has a lovely personality, does a great job of keeping the project (and me) on track and focused on the goal. The team of painters and electricians she uses are friendly, clean, respectful, and their work is top notch. Jacqueline keeps in constant contact with them to ensure her vision is realized. She had such good ideas that I ended up having her choose colors and paint the entire interior as well as replace the window coverings and light fixtures throughout the house. What a huge difference that has made! The furniture will arrive this month as it took a while to make decisions and delivery can take about 12 weeks, so plan accordingly. I'm so excited to go into 2026 with a completely transformed home!"

Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

Installations include new light fixtures, upgraded panels, fixed outlets, and tracked wiring continuity.

While most general electricians can repair lamps and light fixtures, it is often better to hire a lamp repair specialist. Many electricians prefer larger jobs, such as fixing electrical systems or relocating fixtures, and may not offer lamp repair services due to the small scale of the work. Additionally, some lamps, particularly antique models, require dedicated expertise that a general electrician might not have. A lamp repair specialist will be familiar with various types of fixtures and can provide a more dedicated service. If you have already hired an electrician for a larger project, you can ask them to look at your lamp, but for a standalone repair, a specialist is typically the best option.

While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. 

Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.

The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn’t currently include them.

Yes, outdoor lights and receptacles should be on a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for safety. The outdoors is considered a wet location where GFCI protection is generally required. A GFCI enhances safety by automatically tripping and shutting off the circuit if it detects an imbalance, which protects against electrocution and reduces the risk of an electrical fire. While it is the safest approach for all outdoor electrical components, specific requirements can vary depending on the type of light (e.g., pool lights), its location, and local electrical codes. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, it's best to consult a professional electrician.
