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.

This is my second review for The Illuminators since I have been adding lights as needed. The first time I was blown away, the second time they did not disappoint. My estimator was Alex who is very effective at giving suggestions and ideas regarding the best locations to install the lights. I am extremely pleased with the results and the exterior of our house looks so nice! We like to go on walks around the neighborhood and honestly we believe our lighting is the best! We just LOVE the work The Illuminators do. I think it's worth mentioning the installers names who are very efficient, friendly and very pleasant. Thank you Alex, Laddie, Jaden & Scott. I hope to see you again during the third phase of lights.

It was a great experience from start to finish. They responded quickly to my request for a proposal. Greg came out, listened to what i wanted and walked me through what they could do. He even made suggestions on how he could save me some money - something the other people I talked to didn't do. The written proposal came quickly, and i was very pleased with the detail and pricing. The installation was just completed - these guys clearly knew what they were doing - something you would expect but don't always see these days. The whole process from calling for a bid through to installation was a great experience. I recommend them whole heartedly.

From start to finish, Joe and his team were excellent to deal with! After calling and discussing our lighting needs, Joe’s crew came out and within hours, our landscaping lights were installed. We couldn’t wait until nightfall so that we could see how it looked. We couldn’t be more thrilled on how the new lights just illuminated our house. It wasn’t a dark house anymore! Our neighbors keep complimenting us on how bright and cozy our house looks as they turn the corner and see our house glowing! We love coming home at night and seeing how our house glows. We also have the added comfort of knowing that our house feels safer because of all the lights! They even added lights to our three big trees and and our flagpole. We would highly recommend The Illuminators for all of your landscaping lighting needs.

We contacted several landscape lighting services but we decided to go with The Illuminators. We decided to go with them because they were very professional, courteous, on time, very knowledgeable about their products and what would look good! To say the least we are very satisfied with the quality and the finished product! I would recommend them to anyone that wanted a quality lighting system!

Evan and Joe were outstanding! They were extremely professional and helpful. It was a difficult trouble shooting job but Evan figured it out and was able to explain the options in layman terms. I couldn't have been more pleased with their work. Super representatives of the company. Responsive, on time, and competent! My go to guys from now on. Jim G

This is a great company and I would definitely hire again. In fact, I did install additional lights after the initial installation. I am a very satisfied customer based on the professionalism and expertise of the illuminators. They delivered everything I asked for on time and it looks beautiful.

I do not have enough good things to say about this company. They are responsive, professional, honest, prompt, and the quality of their work was excellent. Joe, the owner was a pleasure to work with. He got back to me invariably within a couple of hours and his answers were always clear and concise. The gentlemen who came to the house were a pleasure to talk with. I am very happy to have done business with this company. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending this company to family, friends,

It went very well and it was a very positive experience. In July Greg came to our home to inspect the scope of work that needed to be done and then promptly came back with a quote. In both instances of coming out to quote and completing the work, he was on time, polite, professional and his work was completed neatly. I am very impressed with The Illuminators. All correspondence via email was prompt as well. Thank you The Illuminators!

First, Joe (the owner?) was extremely responsive and patient throughout the entire process! I submitted a request and honestly wasn't even sure that they would take on such a small job. Joe agreed to do it, and then the waiting game began. I have The World's Worst Homeowners Association, who are extremely UNresponsive, and it was several months of back and forth with them before I was able to get the light installed. Robert (the installer) was super personable and even offered an idea for an alternative installation location so that the big silver box wasn't the first thing you see right next to the front door where the outlet is. He also explained how additional lights (such as path lights) can be added along the wiring in the future when my budget permits. I did think the price was a little high to begin with, but then again I also could never have done this myself!

We loved working with this company. They did not try to over sell the amount of lights needed; quite the opposite. They said they could always add more lights after installation. Very responsive to questions. Very professional. After installation, we decided we wanted one additional light. They had it installed within a few days. Would highly recommend.

Nick from The Illuminator's came out and installed new outdoor lighting based on a discussion we'd had a month or so ago.  He mounted lights under the eaves of my house, up in a tree, along a path, and installed some uplighting to highlight some trees (some of these lights we'd had installed by The Illuminator's a few years ago).  The lights all look wonderful and Nick really hustled getting the new lights installed.  Customer service is very important to The illuminator's and they will go out of their way to make sure that everything is the way you want it - even if they have to come back and tweak the lights a little.

"Thank you for the review and the business! Upon further review, Yes, we did have an oversight on our end while processing your service form in our office and we did miss the notes on the bottom of the service technicians original service form that you requested a quote for some additional work. We truly apologize for our oversight and we have changed our internal procedures to prevent a mistake like this from happening again. We just sent a quote to you for the additional landscape lighting work that you requested. We are so sorry for our oversight and we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to earn an A for the additional work!"
