"I absolutely loved that they were able to come out and do a demo of what my property would look like with lighting installed. My husband and I were able to move the lights around to achieve the look we wanted. They also worked within our budget! They were extremely professional and reliable. I will be using them again in the future for more lights on my property!!"

"I called Jessica when my regular decorator was unable to help me redecorate my bathrooms and I was not disappointed! Jessica responds to all questions and phone calls almost immediately and I absolutely love her choices. My husband was not excited about updating our bathrooms until he saw Jessica’s mood-boards and now even he can’t wait to get started on the project. My only concern is that once the bathrooms are complete we will want to do more updating! Thank you Jessica and Dani! Would definitely recommend. I am a retired real estate agent so I have worked with many home stagers and decorators throughout my 35 year career and I think Jessica’s talents are among the best."
"Helene was amazing! Our first time hiring an interior designer and I regret not doing this 5 years ago. She decorated my 13 month girls room from start to finish. Paint, crib, lighting decor, storage, cabinets, bookshelves etcâ ¦.she listened to all my needs and specific desires for my little girls room and exceeded my expectations. We walked into a completely finished room. She worked very hard to create our little girls room and even baby proofed the dressers for us because we asked. We got a crib that can transform to a toddler bed, the cutest chandelier/Fan combo, and amazing artwork. She even added in a personalized pink glittery wooden name as a gift and wallpaper which was absolutely beautiful and really made the room. Our baby now sleeps so well in her crib and we are so so grateful for Helene. She is really experienced and knows what she is doing and we are blessed to have met her"
"Iâ ve had a vision for my dream home for a while now and havenâ t been able to find anyone who can take the picture in my head and put it on paper. Iâ ve worked with other engineers, but most of them tend to add their own spin to my idea and were not able to capture my visions accurately. I was sold on Justyce Royal from the initial consultation! Donathan took the time to understand my vision without adding his own flare or subtracting from my non negotiables . He was not only able to create the design for me in 2D, but was able to provide a realistic 3D image so that I can see exactly what the home would look like in real life. Iâ m not quite at the point of breaking ground with construction, as I am still looking for a location, but I am so excited about my design and cannot wait until the construction phase begins. Thank you Justyce Royal for your professionalism, sensitivity to my budget, and willingness to work with me to bring my dreams to reality. If I could give you guys 10 stars I would!"
You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring.
Yes, professional landscape lighting is typically worth the investment. Installing a lighting system can improve your home’s curb appeal, safety, and security, and it can also deter burglars. It adds value to your home by creating a brightly-lit outdoor space you can use after dark and making the property more appealing to potential buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, landscape lighting can add up to $2,500 to your home’s value, and on average, this type of home improvement has a 50% return on investment.
If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.
No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They’re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they’re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over.
Costs depend on system type, issue severity, and labor rates.
