Get matched with top lighting pros in Charlton, MA

"Boyd Property Management did a fantastic job on my lawn, and my lawn isn't easy to care for. It was a disaster. They did everything I hoped for and I would definitely use them again."

"Ryan Sivia upgraded and replaced our electrical box,outside electric meter, and wiring into our home. He also installed an electric outlet and light. Mr Salvia is polite and professional. We would higihly recommend him as an electrician."

Hi, my name is Edeline Sinigur. I started this construction business a couple years back but i’m looking to grow and find more opportunities. We’ve done new construction, and remodels all over the place. We also have an on board designer that you will work with throughout the process!

"Excellent!....George promptly came over our house to look over the electrical job to give us an estimate. Later, (that same evening) he emailed a written estimate for us to look over and sign in order to schedule our job asap. The job was scheduled quickly (within days) and the install went very smoothly. The small cut-outs in the sheetrock they needed to remove for wiring the outlets were very cleanly cut and repaired with care. Our TV looks great and the electricians were very pleasant and professional. They even had patience with our kids and two dogs in our busy home! We will use them again in a few weeks for electrical work at our family business. :)"

"Everything turned out fine. When it first arrived, it was damaged in the shipping. It took them quite a while to get something back to us, or even to call me back when I wrote to them. But then, once they got the ball rolling, it went very quickly. It took them probably about a month to even get back to me. The price was very good. Once somebody actually did speak with me, they were very responsive. They were pretty professional when I spoke to them. I just think that they were light on manpower."

"I had joe rework some lights and replaced some outlets through out my house he was on time, very polite, and he was very reasonable in his pricing and didn't change his pricing when he was done with the job. I would recommend Joe to anyone and definitely be using him again."

"This is the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" which will result in me ending my Angie's List subscription. I am sick of buying coupons and wasting my money. I have many expired coupons because what I wanted done isn't covered, or the contractor is too hard to get in touch with, etc,  In this case I thought I'd contact the vendor before buying the coupon.
My neighbor and I share a beautiful 700 sq ft deck in the beautiful South End of Boston. I take a lot of pride in the deck and have put a lot of money into it including the materials we used to build it, sound system, furniture, urban landscaper, etc. I have  a small unit and it is nice that I can do all of my entertaining in the nice weather on the roof. The deck was built by DiPerro Construction who I reviewed on here and I recommend them. 
Lighting has always been a challenge on the roof. My neighbor put up those Christmas led lights on the railing and I really tried to like them, although they were out of place in contrast to the quality of everything else on the roof. There is a very high end roof deck diagonal to us and I liked the uniformity of their white lights --- a much cleaner more professional look, and I decided that is what i wanted. My cousin was visiting and told me those were led rope lights. 
I searched Angie's list for a lighting specialist and found this company. They had a $1000 offer and I thought that was a reasonable price to pay to get adequate professional lighting on my deck that would look nice like my neighbor. Instead of purchasing the coupon, I decided to do the consult first so I didn't waste $1000 like the hundreds I have wasted on other non-used coupons.
When George arrived, he was punctual and nice as described. I told him what I was looking for and we decided that what I wanted was led rope lighting on the railing and led tape lighting on the perimeter. The rope lighting would look like what my neighbor has (nice and white). George said our deck was too big to just use that lighting and we agreed the perimeter lighting would be necessary. 
I asked George if I could get this covered with the $1000 coupon. He told me that coupon was for quick, generic jobs. Typical Angie's list bait and switch, which should have stopped me from agreeing to go forward. 
The quote for the job came to $4200 which was sticker shock. Much steeper than I had wanted, but I convinced myself that it would be my last major expense on the roof and George was a nice guy who seemed honest and sincere and it seemed like he knew my penchant for perfectionism and so splurging would give the roof that "over the top" effect that I like. 
WRONG. The lights were installed on Thursday. The railing lights are yellow !!! They look nothing like the white lights of my neighbor. The perimeter lights are a beautiful led light as expected and are very nice.. So we have yellow on the railing and white below which looks hideous and embarrassing. George said he didn't know why that could have happened since he ordered them from the same vendor. My neighbor and I agreed that it looked tacky. The railing lights don't seem to be adding much light to the deck anyway. I also can't get them to dim or shut off, which I think is a waste of electricity and rude to the neighbors. 
George said he expected my reaction and asked what I wanted to do. Using the led tape lights for the railing would put the project up around $5500, and George doesn't sound very confident on his ability to execute due to the complexity of working around the railing posts. So I said that I would just like to keep the led lights on the perimeter and asked him to remove the rope lighting. 
Final Cost? $3626 That is significantly more than the $1000 coupon ad that brought me to this vendor !!!
I should have gone with DiPierro, but I thought I'd save money if I had bought the coupon.
As I said, I will be unenrolling from Angie's List after this. I really believe in this service, but the delivery hasn't matched the slick marketing. I am sorry and I hope that other people's experiences aren't like mine. Good luck. I really wish you all great success.

"Grace contacted me quickly after purchase of the RealDeal and we set up an appointment for 10/6/14. During that first conversation we talked a bit about what I was interested in having her do, which was help me to pick paint colors for three adjacent first floor rooms. On 10/6/14, Grace appeared promptly and walked through the house giving advice on what we could do to open the rooms up. She also took pictures so she could take them back to her studio. On 10/17/14, Grace returned with paint chips of her recommended colors. I do feel that she listened to what we wanted and returned with suggestions that met or requirements. I had a few follow up questions that I submitted to her by email and she promptly responded to.

"Very well... professional, good communication, responsive."

"Didn't really come in with ideas beyond what I talked about for the space. Could have used the hour to highlight location of items in space and color concept to enhance design ideas.
