"Everything went extremely well. Laury was great to work with. Questions directed to him were answered quickly. Installation team was very professional and courteous. Follow-up instructions for working the system through the iPhone app by Simon was also excellent. Project inspected by Village of Buffalo Grove (following installation) passed first time with no issues."

"Tom was an incredible resource and project manager for our home backyard project. He worked with us to get the brick materials we wanted for our patio. He helped us install an area of artificial turf as well. His team worked hard and were working every day during the work week until project completed. Highly recommend Tom!"

"They did an excellent job. The initial request was to replace an electrical outlet for a new dryer, but in the process of investigating that, they saw that the electrical system was not up to code. The house is 100+ years old, and we had known it would have to be updated at some point. They gave us a very reasonable estimate, got started quickly, and finished within the projected timeframe. They were professional, polite, helpful, and friendly. We have had no further problems with the electrical system, but I would definitely hire them again if we needed other electrical work."

"As difficult as it may be, the need to redirect the lighting is a important part of the overall effect. I'm sure that the crew does the best they can during daytime hours but as a customer it was very difficult and time consuming to make these adjustments. Wish there was a way since the final result is entirely based on the settings of the illumination."

Exterior Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers, desk lamps, and antique or decorative light fixtures that hold sentimental or aesthetic value are commonly repaired.

The majority of potential burglars are amateurs looking to make a quick buck after breaking and entering. By installing motion-sensor lights, alarm systems, and security cameras, throughout the home, there’s a good chance you will deter crime on your property.

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

Common outdoor lighting issues include faulty or exposed wiring, burnt-out or damaged bulbs, and broken or faulty fixtures. Regular maintenance can help prevent many of these problems.
