Best lighting pros near New Llano, LA

"Would refer him to a friend."

I'm an affordable server in all services I offer. I'm reliable and my mind set is do it right the first time so we can both be happy. Will do the service needed the right way.

Hi, I’m Samuel, owner of Box Alarm Builders, a general contractor handling commercial and residential projects across Southeast Texas. As a firefighter, I bring the same mindset to every job: show up on time, communicate clearly, do it safely, and do it right. Big or small, I’ll give you an honest assessment and a fair price. Let’s talk about your project.

"Cam was great,fast,knowledgeable,professional. Will definately use service again if needed!"

"I will be very honest in my assessment of Amanda. Sitting in front of me I have a beautiful design for my living room and dining room in a townhouse I owned in Houston. Amanda picked beautiful, comfortable chairs, nice wallpaper and very cool lighting.  The problem with Amanda is not her ability to design an amazing room - she certainly is very talented. The problem I experienced with Amanda was the inability to handle the details, to stay on top of the project, and to assist with actually putting the room together. This may be a problem in general, with all on-line designers, who knows.  I do know that I ordered this package from Amanda in August of 2013.  My first conference call with her was some time around October, and my designs were given to me (not the complete design) some time in December.  I learned quickly that when Amanda says she would have something for me "by the end of the week," she really meant about 2-3 weeks down the road.  In any event, I was elated when I got my first design for my dining room. I delayed placing an order because the stuff she picked was a bit pricey and I wanted to save my money over the holidays. I placed an order in early February for two rugs and a chandelier - totaling well over $3,000.00. Amanda advised that it could take about 4 weeks for the rugs and chandelier to come, which was no problem with me.  8 weeks passed and I began emailing Amanda. (Mind you that the money was charged to me immediately, with no follow up emails from any of the manufactures, no indication of shipping, nothing... so I began to feel uneasy). After a couple of unreturned emails and phone calls, Amanda apologized for the delay, mentioned that she was surprised I hadn't received anything yet, and explained to me her mother was in an accident. No biggie, but I explained to her that I would be out of the country in mid-April and unavailable to sign for anything. She assured me the rugs were en route from Georgia and would be there before I leave.  As far as the chandelier, we discovered that they had attempted to deliver it, but Amanda had provided them the incorrect phone number, so they were not able to get in touch with me. I asked her to correct this so I could receive the chandelier. Because I never heard back from the company, and no additional attempts to deliver were made, I am assuming she did not do this.  And, as could be expected, the rugs did not come before I left - they came when I was in Germany and when no one was home to sign for them. Since over 12 weeks had passed since my order, I contacted my credit card company and initiated a charge back.  They agreed with me that it was concerning that so much time had passed with very little contact, and immediately refunded my money. (Amanda and her husband eventually tried to fight my chargeback, but they were of course unsuccessful. I did not have the goods, and they never attempted to re-deliver them). Also, I will add the following to things about my experience with Amanda, which bothered me:
1) I was told in January I would have curtains and throw pillows picked out "by the end of the week." Those never came.
2) Amanda said she had a client in Florida who would ship me a sample of the wallpaper. This never came either. Amanda said it was shipped to me - I never received it and kind of doubt it ever was.
So basically, $500 dollars for two rooms of design got me some dining room chairs (albeit - awesome), a table she picked out that was too expensive so I found a different one, some cool wallpaper that I will never be able to get a sample of, two expensive rugs and a chandelier that resulted in a credit card fight and a headache. At the end of the day, my advice is that if you want a talented and friendly person to design your home, don't mind waiting some time for it all to come together, and are cool with locating the stuff and putting it all together on your own, Amanda may be it for you. If you want a designer who is good at following up with details, assuring stuff gets to you in a reasonable time, and assists with pulling the room together and finalizing your project, I would highly recommend you find someone else."

"Excellent - I ended up hiring someone to help with shopping and finishing piece - waste of time and money. Jill's service was by far the most useful and best value in my decorating process.

"Any job they do is excellent."

"I normally do not take the time to write letters of recommendation or reviews, however, in this case, I have felt compelled to share my experience we had with Paragon Pools and Christian Kavodia particularly.  Without hesitation, to say we are impressed with our custom gunite pool is an absolute understatement.  It was obvious the Paragon was not interested in just turning out another pool and moving on to the next one. Christian made sure that meeting all our expectations was a top priority. Trust me when I say we are somewhat hard folks to deal with, in terms of quality.  
 
When the pool was laid out in our backyard we met our Christian and he walked us through all phases of construction very professionally.. Christian created a design plan that surpassed all of our expectations! It included a very functional layout for the pool, tanning decks,rocks, water features, lighting, fencing, decking and many other conversation pieces. He and his staff turned our backyard into a small slice of paradise.  
Christian is an owner that has his hands on the job the entire time. Prior to meeting with Christian, we meet with 2 other pool
companies and neither of them came close to the vision Christian offered. On top of that, his engagement and I normally do not take the time to write letters of recommendation or reviews, however, in this case, I have felt compelled to share my experience we had with Paragon Pools and Christian Kavodia particularly.  Without hesitation, to say we are impressed with our custom gunite pool is an absolute understatement.  It was obvious the Paragon was not interested in just turning out another pool and moving on to the next one.

We began our journey with Paragon having never built a pool before. Christian and staff were very professional and extremely
helpful in educating us on all of our options. From beginning to end our experience was an exceptionally good one. The quality of their company?s workmanship and customer service is excellent. I could really go on and on about our experience. 
Without hesitation, I would recommend Paragon Pool Design & Construction to anyone looking to turn there backyard into paradise at a very competitive price.
