Carlos and team were able to mount the TV on the stone and route the wiring in the mortar joints to make them nearly invisible. The initial wireless wall speakers didn’t perform well and Carlos Removed them and installed built-in wires surround sound speakers and system has worked flawlessly. Thorough and committed to customer satisfaction and making things right."
"George and Alex went out of their way to be flexible, professional and customer oriented. They worked around my schedule and were able to complete my project in a timely manner. They always showed up on time and made sure the house was cleaner than they left it. George took the time to consult with us on our wants and needs and didn't try to tack on unnecessary extras. They made sure to design the layout of the new lights for maximum appeal. "
"Within days of purchasing the deal, I received the instructions and paper to draw my table templates. The table has 2 drop leaves plus 2 additional leaves that can be inserted in the table. The templates were pretty easy to draw. The finished pads were delivered in a very short time. They fit the table and each of the 4 leaves perfectly and magnetically lock together to keep them aligned when on the table. A year and a half later, I still love these pads."
"I had 10 years of accumulated landscaping cleanup and flower bed resoration. Dairo came out and reviewed the scope of the work. I initially limited the work to see how they did. They showed up on time and did an obsolutely terrific job. After seeing their work, I added numerous items to the scope of work. They were professional and perfection was their work standard. I will use them again without a second thought."
"George was responsive and direct. He is busy so we waited a month for our appointment but that is to be expected and was not a problem.
Installed LED fans and left "regular" switches from old fans instructing us to change them to LED compatible. After several visits from electricians and visits to lighting stores we learned that regardless of the switches, these fans could not be put on a dimmer, made a loud humming sound, gave off an ugly green/yellow dim light and the fan only worked at one speed - we needed new fans.
With the help and guidance (and expense) of another electrician, we purchased new fans and switches that are PERFECT and I am so happy with them. If we had just left the original work, I really was beginning to hate the upstairs of my home..."
"There was a misunderstanding at first, but she came today, and it went very well. She was very good. Her ideas were very good. I would definitely recommend her."
It was beyound my expectaion. They arrived on time as scheduled and called me before leaving to let me know they were on their way. Chuck and Smitty did an excellent job. I was so so happy with the color they chose for my hallway, kitchen and bathroon. They are both very skilled in their work and efficent. They are both wonderful pleasant and very nice individuals. I would definitly recommend their service and now consider them as my painters and plan contact them for the next paint job. Well done Chuck and Smitty.
You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring.
Options include pathway lights, spotlights, and smart lighting systems. Choose based on function and aesthetics.
Yes, outdoor lights and receptacles should be on a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for safety. The outdoors is considered a wet location where GFCI protection is generally required. A GFCI enhances safety by automatically tripping and shutting off the circuit if it detects an imbalance, which protects against electrocution and reduces the risk of an electrical fire. While it is the safest approach for all outdoor electrical components, specific requirements can vary depending on the type of light (e.g., pool lights), its location, and local electrical codes. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, it's best to consult a professional electrician.
Although security lighting may not deter a determined burglar, its presence will make your property that much less enticing to would-be trespassers. When paired with other types of home security systems like alarms and surveillance cameras, strong lights will better help you and the authorities identify thieves in the instance they attempt to break in or succeed at doing so.
No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They’re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they’re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over.
