"We had a great experience getting our patio done. Nate was communicative throughout the entire project, always keeping us informed on progress and any issues they encountered along the way. He also made a point to stop by in person to review everything and talk things through, which we really appreciated. Their availability was very flexible, making the whole process easy to coordinate. Most importantly, the final result is absolutely beautiful! We are so happy with how it turned out and look forward to spending time on it this summer!"

"The work David did was very professional and he paid close attention to details. The new service line runs in conduit through the garage and David did a great job installing the conduit with multiple bends or curves so it is out of the way and protected. There were two electricians and a helper on the job. David worked on the service line, meter connection, and master cut-off switch.

I would give the job an A for quality except that when the new circuit breaker box was connected to the house wiring no record was kept to match the old circuit numbers to the numbers in the new box.

A second electrician installed the new circuit breaker box and connected it to the house wiring, and continued working after David left for another job. When I asked the second electrician about mapping the circuits I was told he and the helper would do that at the end and that he never tries to keep track of the old circuit numbers and the identifications listed in the old box because they are often incorrect and he would rather re-map them. He tried to use the electronic circuit detector--it is plugged into an outlet and then the breaker is detected in the basement. That didn't work well so they started turning breakers on and off to see which outlets were associated with a circuit. In the end less than half of the circuits were identified by them and I had to determine which circuits controlled the kitchen appliances, furnace, ceiling lights, outdoor lights, and the majority of the outlets. If he had kept track of the relationship between the old circuit breaker box identification numbers and the new box, it would have saved him and me a lot of time and effort.

"We hired Casey to hang our exterior Christmas lights and garlands. Not only did he do the job, he also contributed to the designs. The outcome was top notch. We were so happy with his work that we had him install exterior light fixtures. Casey was a true professional and we enjoyed working with him. We have many other jobs that we will be using his services for. ."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:

  • CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours

  • Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours

  • HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours

  • Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours

  • LED bulb: 50,000 hours

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. 

The lifespan of a pool light depends on the type, but thankfully, these lights are designed to last a long time before they need to be replaced. LED bulbs last the longest, about 20,000 to 30,000 hours, while incandescent bulbs last the shortest amount of time, about 1,000 to 5,000 hours. Fiber optic pool lights will last around 6,000 hours.

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.

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.
