"I had Fast Electric Service install 4 ceiling fans in my home. The team was polite and professional throughout the engagement. They kept me informed of their progress and items that may be a concern (base of fan was smaller than old light fixture so some discoloration on the ceiling in one room) as they proceeded. They worked quickly (2.5 hours as I recall) but with a high degree of quality. All the fans are very well balanced without any wobble even on high speeds. They are all wired the same so the light is on the outside switch and the fan on the inside switch in all four rooms. I have absolutely no complaints or suggestions for improvement they did a fantastic job and I'd recommend them for an electrical projects you may have in your home. Great team, great service, and very reasonable price."

"The folks at Hutchins were a pleasure to work with. I needed major lawn restoration and also knew I wanted to tear up and refresh my very tired landscaping but had no idea what I wanted to do. The process started with Carmen, the office manager who did the intake and managed the scheduling efficiently and courteously. Mark, the landscape and lighting designer, walked the property with me and was full of ideas. He didn't draw up any sketches -- he said that just cost more money -- but that was OK with me since he gave me a good idea of what he was thinking. We went back and forth on email and the phone several times to nail down the design and price. Mark was really helpful and very responsive -- a seasoned landscaper who knows his stuff. The crew who did the work was led by Jon, the owner, and they were all pleasant and professional. Jon and Mark both took time to explain things to me about what they were doing and how to maintain it since lawn and garden care is not among my favorite things to do. The work included tilling up my current lawn and laying new sod, creating and planting new beds, tearing up and replanting old beds, laying pavers as a deck landing, removing several small trees, and general yard cleanup in my backyard (mostly natural area). The job took about 2 1/2 days. I would definitely hire Hutchins Landscaping again. It was a very positive experience and I'm very pleased with the result."

"They were everything we wanted and more. Job done quickly and beautifully. Highly recommend Alan to anyone needing landscaping done. He has already got another job from our neighbors and I expect more will be asking for his card."

"I called Jessica when my regular decorator was unable to help me redecorate my bathrooms and I was not disappointed! Jessica responds to all questions and phone calls almost immediately and I absolutely love her choices. My husband was not excited about updating our bathrooms until he saw Jessica’s mood-boards and now even he can’t wait to get started on the project. My only concern is that once the bathrooms are complete we will want to do more updating! Thank you Jessica and Dani! Would definitely recommend. I am a retired real estate agent so I have worked with many home stagers and decorators throughout my 35 year career and I think Jessica’s talents are among the best."

"Couldn't have gone better, they Got the light mounted and established a switch inside to control it. Technicians Josh & Doug were friendly & very respectful of house. The owner, Scott, was very helpful setting up appointment and pricing. Very apparent all three gentlemen's concern was customer satisfaction. The Cost was significantly below other provider estimates I had obtained."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

Common outdoor lighting issues include faulty or exposed wiring, burnt-out or damaged bulbs, and broken or faulty fixtures. Regular maintenance can help prevent many of these problems.

Yes, animals can trigger motion-sensor lights. In fact, this is a reason why some homeowners install motion-sensor lights, to catch sneaky little critters looking through the rubbish for a midnight snack. There are sensitivities to animal detection though, so you may want to look for an option that avoids animal detection as much as possible.

The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn’t currently include them.

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. 

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.
