"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!!"

"My front yard is beautiful. It provides both privacy and beauty. Ornamental plants and trees along with sod and sidewalks made for a front yard I can be proud of."
"Set up our inquiry on Angi’s list and received a call from the Mister Sparky team within 2 minutes. They were able to have someone out for an estimate within 24 hours which was impressive on both fronts. Our technician arrived yesterday and conducted an inspection then looked at the work we needed (install a floodlight in an existing fixture installing a new light/camera combo above our garage where there was no existing fixture). Naturally the project above the garage was more expensive due to the need for running wire, drilling through the house and pulling power from another spot. The technician was really kind and explained all our options. Due to time constraints we did accept the service same day and the technician completed the work on the same service call. The install went great, the lights are perfect, the tech did a great job centering the new fixture on the front and we’re really pleased with the whole job. Transparently, if we weren’t on a time constraint we likely would have fielded other estimates as the cost was much more than we anticipated (just short of 900). We didn’t have anything to compare it to so perhaps this is the norm and our expectations were just naive. But since we had already purchased the devices separately, we just had a different idea of what this project would be."
"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!"
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.
It’s not illegal to fly an American flag at night without a light shining on it, but the U.S. Flag Code notes that it’s respectful to provide illumination. Installing a flagpole light is also common practice and will add more to your home’s curb appeal at night. Choosing a solar-powered or battery-powered light for your flag is an affordable way to provide illumination.
Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.
Yes, animals can trigger motion-sensor lights. In fact, this is a reason why some homeowners install motion-sensor lights, to catch sneaky little critters looking through the rubbish for a midnight snack. There are sensitivities to animal detection though, so you may want to look for an option that avoids animal detection as much as possible.
DIY is possible for minor issues like bulb replacement. Professional services ensure proper wiring and functionality.
