"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."

"Pat and Midwest Landscaping did a great job on my yard. The plants had literally taken over and we had some poison ivy growing between our fence and the neighbor’s. In one morning they trimmed things that had gotten too big, moved plants to space them out better, weeded and got rid of the poison ivy problem. Really the best part was that they used all of our own plants, so we didn’t have to buy anything new. Whenever we need more help with the landscaping, we will be calling Pat."

"10x20 backyard patio & 2x7 walkway. Tom was very considerate and attentive when reviewing the project area and provided a reasonable estimate. Tom and his workers were extremely friendly and caring while working. Zero problems during the project and they finished the project quickly (3 days). Very happy with the results so far, if anything changes within the next 3 years, I’ll be sure to update my experience. Awesome experience, great company, and would recommend to others."

"Great work. They installed 6 can lights in a first floor family room with a bedroom on second floor above and wired it to an existing switch in the wall...all with no drywall holes in the ceiling and only a single hole in the wall above the switch to be repaired. I was very happy and impressed. Electricians were on time, friendly, efficient, and knowledable. Will definitely use again."

"The team at GF were great at every step, from initial contact to scoping to scheduling to actually doing the work. The pair of electricians who came to the job were courtesy, thorough, efficient, and respectful of my property. They followed all requests made by our condo association and did only what was necessary, no attempt to upsell! Very reasonably priced. I’d hire them again for sure!"

"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."

"Illuminators is a great company for your outdoor lighting needs. They installed lights for me several years ago. They performed routine maintenance to keep the lights in good working order and troubleshot another issue for me. Always very professional and responsive."

Exterior Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

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.

Professionals enhance safety by addressing structural issues, securing loose components, and using non-toxic materials. They ensure compliance with building codes and conduct thorough inspections to identify potential hazards. Their expertise minimizes risks, making the home safer during and after repairs.
