"Excellent! We needed exert guidance. After a site visit, (where our concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus were respected), our thoughts and preferences were obtained. A few weeks later, the resulting design was trendy yet classic. Via a video call Ron thoroughly and patiently explained the concept, accepting our input, answering questions and making changes. The installation team was professional, polite and helpful. Over the several days they were working, they made changes on the fly based on how things looked at that time. The results are spectacular. Highly recommend this company!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I had a positive experience with Inside Out Home Enchantments. I hired them to trim bushes and lay mulch for the front and back flowerbeds and they look exceptionally better than before-the beds were in dire need of some help! The crew was friendly, responsive to texts and I appreciated the final walk through when they had finished. Would hire again!"

"They did such a great job! Jon was really helpful and responsive planning out a patio that'd fit within our budget. Jon and his team were professional and worked to complete the job on schedule despite a rainy Spring. The final product looks amazing and is exactly what we wanted. It looks so great that we're now budgeting for a second project at our house for Jon and his team to do - highly recommend!"

"Jim and his team went above and beyond! I was pretty indecisive due to the cost and permanence of the project. Jim was very patient and walked me through everything The project turned out absolutely beautiful and is exactly what we were looking for. I would highly recommend Inspired and already have passed Jim’s number along to a couple of people. Go with them, you’ll be glad you did!"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. 

Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.

If your lights are shorting out during rain storms or other winter events, you should probably replace them. These shorts indicate electrical issues that could cause serious hazards. Look for outdoor-rated lights with connectors made for rainy conditions to replace them. But if your Christmas lights are new and you want further protection, you can find weatherproof covers to add to the male-end connectors of your Christmas light strings. These can minimize the risk of shorts.

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. 

To maintain your outdoor lighting and prevent major issues, you should regularly clean the fixtures, inspect the wiring and connections, and replace worn or burnt-out bulbs promptly. These simple steps ensure consistent operation and extend the life of your lighting system.
