"After scheduling, they contacted me to say there was a new opening for an earlier time, so we were able to get the project done even sooner, and they had better prices than the other people I had talked to. The technician was prompt, very nice, and did amazing work with the lighting fixtures. Everything came out leveled and centered. Would recommend to anyone!"

Customers say: True professional

"Colette was fabulous. We needed to paint our kitchen cabinets and while we were thinking of painting them black, we were concerned it would be too much with our black counters and black backsplash. Colette considered our adjoining rooms and the overall look of our house to suggest a color that worked for our cabinets as well as several rooms in our home. Her recommendation was spot on and it surpassed our expectations. Even our cabinet painters were blown away. Would absolutely hire Colette again!"

"We did an 8 month project with Joanne redoing almost our entire house. She was there with interior design as well as interior decorating guidance the entire time. Her insight was invaluable to our successful project. She listened and saw what we liked and followed our tastes instead of forcing a taste on us. At the sometime, she challenged us to step outside the box sometime creating a fabulously designed and decorated home that we love."

"Nothing but good things to say! We got a new sprinkler system put in-- Everything was smooth and well-communicated from my first call, through to the install. I always felt in the loop and knew what to expect, which is huge. They fit our job in quickly and they took great care while on the property. Will be recommending to others!"

"I've had a very good experience with OCR Inc. I used them all of the time. He's my contractor. They were here last week. They've been here for the last eight months. He's incredibly trustworthy. He's very punctual and always answers his phone when you call. I couldn't say enough nice things about him. He's a great guy. He's doing landscaping and a dock outside on the lake. He's doing all kinds of stuff. He has both his own crew and other contractors that he calls in."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

The five common types of landscape lighting are up-lighting, down-lighting, spotlights, built-in lighting, and pathway lighting.

  • Up-lighting casts light upwards from the ground, mostly for aesthetic purposes.

  • Down-lighting directs light onto the ground, lighting pathways, or outdoor space.

  • Spotlights cast direct, focused lighting in any direction.

  • Built-in lighting integrates lighting into an outdoor feature.

  • Pathway lighting illuminates walkways, increasing safety.

Before investing in motion sensor lights, there are a couple of disadvantages worth noting. For starters, they’re not as reliable as other forms of lighting. Motion sensor lights can be accidentally triggered by pets or wind, which can become a nuisance after a while. The opposite situation can occur, too, where they don’t turn on when you need them to. 

The average cost to install outdoor or landscape lighting is around $4,000, with most projects ranging from $2,000 to $6,000. The total cost can vary widely depending on several factors, including the number of fixtures, design complexity, and the type and quality of the lights used, such as wall sconces, pathway lights, or lamp posts. Other factors that influence the price are the square footage of the area being lit, the amount of electrical work needed, any required excavation or trenching, and local permitting costs. For specific types, you might pay around $100 for pathway or string lighting and up to $700 for lamp post lighting.

Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. 

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.
