From the beginning to end, the service was exceptional. It was a pleasure working with Mike, who listened to our needs/input and implemented it all seamlessly. They were extremely knowledgable and responsive. Fantastic experience!

Wonderfully! I used Mike years ago at my first home and when I moved happily contacted him again. He is an artist and a pleasure to work with. Do not hesitate!

We love our new lighting, and we can't say enough about Mike and his team. Very professional, knowledgeable, and overall did a great job. We will likely be asking Mike to add lights to our backyard as well.

Everything was done just the way they said. When I asked for a couple extra things during the job, they had no problem accommodating me. The workers were very professional and they did a great job. They left my house looking awesome, both front and back. I could not have asked for a better experience!

We contacted three companies seeking ideas/proposals for installing lights in our newly installed pergola. Owner Mike Potucek came out to provide his recommendations. Mike is clearly very knowledgeable about outdoor lighting and is passionate about his work. Mike provided his recommendation to install 9 low voltage LED solid brass light fixtures with stainless steel transformer. Mike noted he could place our existing lights which illuminate our trees and patio bricks into the new transformer. The lights automatically come on at dusk and turn off at the time of our choice. Mike and his team of two arrived on the agreed upon date and, as predicted, they had the lights installed in about 3 hours. The team took the time to hide the wires as much as possible and space the lights to provide appropriate coverage. Mike and his team went over the operation of the system and ensure all of our questions were answered. The work area was cleaned up and the table/chairs restored to their pre-installation location. The lights themselves are impressive and add a very good ambiance to the pergola/yard. The lights only illuminate the intended area and do not overwhelm the rest of our yard. We were so impressed with the experience that we asked Mike for an estimate for installing lights on the front of our house. Our overall experience was very positive-from Mike, to Kim in the office who responded to e-mail questions quickly and completely to the crew who assisted Mike. If you are looking to install outdoor lighting, contact Artistic Outdoor Lighting--I suspect you will be very pleased with the results.

I can’t say enough great words about Artistic Outdoor Lighting. From the moment my husband and I met with Mike to talk about the lighting we were hoping to achieve for the front of our home to him setting up a sneak peek of what it could look like at this first meeting, I knew we were dealing with someone who knows his business. Quality work at fair prices, what more can you ask for. The lighting crew did their thing while we were out of town (how easy is that!!). It was so nice to come home to the job being done with perfection!! Can’t wait to have the rest of our lighting needs done ASAP. Thank you Mike!!!

Mike was the best. He knew exactly what I wanted. He came out at night to lay out the entire lighting system so I knew what to expect, which was by far and beyond what any of his competitors offered. Look no further Mike is the man!!!! You will no be disappointed!

Mike was great, especially coming out after dark to show us what the lighting would look like. That is what sold me. Mike and his people showed up on time, and did a nice clean job in a timely fashion. We are very please with the project. Every night we look out at the lighting system and comment on how we are glad we did this.

We are a repeat customer very happy with the work we had done last fall. You will see a 5 star rating from us on the previous work in October, 2019. At the time, we broke down the project into to two (front and back). It’s now time to complete the project. In March 2020, we shifted our attention to the side and back of our home. We live on a small lake and so we enjoy spending the majority of our time relaxing outdoors and lakeside. The new landscape lighting provides such a beautiful accent as well as great security too. It should be noted that this was all happening as the Pandemic was spreading in March and done before the apex in late April. I raise the point because Mike was very open in exercising great care and safety as a priority. We did a walkthrough with Mike and had some ideas of what we wanted. In the end, we relied on Mike for his special talent of incorporating our ideas with unique fixtures and just the right placement to pull it all off and more. We would be remiss if we didn’t recognize the installation team. They were certainly here when they said they would be. Even more so, the quality of the work, neatness, cleanup and friendliness were all top notch. You can easily see that they take pride in whet they do. They didn’t completely finish in one day so they returned the next day to finalize the work. In the end, it all looks great and we couldn’t be happier that Artistic Outdoor Lighting are our go-to people. BTW, you can tell by all the other high ratings that they are the best of the best.

Mike Potucek did a great job. He was prompt in responding to my request for a quote, his quote was competitive, and he did not try to give me a hard sell on any unnecessary upgrades. The work was installed over the course of a delay and they managed to do all the work without disturbing any of the landscaping. Lighting looks great! Would highly recommend.

I have had a great experience with Mike and his team at Artistic Outdoor Lighting. They surveyed the project and provided a quote and we set a date up for installing the lighting. They were in contact prior to the install and a team of 3 showed and did the project in less than a day and it has been working perfectly since the install. I would highly recommend using Artistic for your outdoor lighting, great service and a pleasure to work with

Mike and his team at Artistic Outdoor Lighting are FANTASTIC! We have used them for 2 houses and both look fabulous. After Mike did the design for our first house, we had so much trust and respect for his work that when we needed lights got our next house we just asked him to go do his thing and create the lighting. It is 1.3 acres with the house and gardens and we knew it would be fabulous. And it is. The property has the right amount of lighting for safety and to bring out the beauty, but without looking like spot lights or columns of light. Mike and his crew were fast, clean and thorough. Artistic Outdoor Lightning is the only company I would ever consider for outdoor lighting.

It went VERY well! Mike and his team of installation experts couldn't have been more professional. Mike first visited our home at night to see what work might need to be completed. His assessment, suggested design/placement and estimate were reasonable and made good sense. The installation was done on one of the hottest days this summer - Juan and George deserve a medal for their attention to detail. We couldn't be happier with our new LED landscape lighting!

Mike provided us with a creative design in order to add outside lighting for our house. The quote was fair value and the lighting fixtures were high quality. The installers were prompt, professional and did a great job. My wife and I would highly recommend using the company.

I rarely write reviews unless a job was really good or really bad, and this job from Artistic Outdoor Lighting was exceptionally great from the first phone call I made. Mike really understands customer service and really understands his business and does a beautiful job. But beyond that, he's just an HONEST and RELIABLE person to work with. Two things really stand out from my experience with him (aside from the great work, and great communication if he was running even 5 min late because of chicago traffic). 1) We had 3 companies come out and provide us quotes for updating our existing 17 yr old lighting system to LEDs. Artistic Outdoor was the only company that said our existing transformers were completely fine and didn't need updating. That saved us a ton of money. Both the other contractors said i would need to update those two transformers, and then tried to add some additional stuff as well. Mike explained how it worked, and explained why they didn't need updating. HONESTY. 2) When we sat down and I told him the exact path lights i wanted, we picked the color scheme and material. He provided a quote based on that information. After the job was completed (after, not before), we were discussing how much i liked the path lights, and he said they actually cost $20 more per light because of the color and material I chose. He didn't know that until he got billed from the manufacturer, and said he just ate those costs because he already provided a quote to me and he lives by his quotes. I explained he shouldn't be responsible and offered to pay the $20 extra per light (there were 15 path lights total) myself. He pushed back and we agreed to split the difference. ETHICAL. All-in-all, I wish more contractors did business the way Artistic Outdoor Lighting does. And the work and lighting is incredibly beautiful, it looks better than i could have hoped for. Can't give Mike and his company a big enough recommendation!

Their approach with the demo of the proposed system ensures that all requirements are effectively communicated. Our project was completed early in order to avoid impending winter weather. Results exceeded expectations. We will be using you again. Thanks for the great work.
