I really liked his staff. They were very responsible and their final product was just absolutely amazing. They worked at an old mansion that we rent out for weddings and they had to clean up every weekend. It was good enough that the brides did not notice that we were having work done.

This is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a contractor.  I would beware of hiring them.  Hired them to paint exterior of house. They cracked many older window panes while prepping them for painting, and left the job without fixing any of them or finishing painting them.  Less than a year later, much of my paint is peeling badly. Absolute worst experience I've ever had with a contractor.  They did a horrible job and contractor was very difficult to work with during the process. Also put most storm windows on upside-down and chopped down a tree without authorization. Would never hire this contractor to paint, remodel, or to do anything else for that matter.

Response from Lime Light Customs
"There is always two sides to every story. I will leave it to any future potential clients to take this review with a grain of salt.Not at all consistent with any review record here, or anywhere else. we would be more than happy to provide references from satisfied clients. A problematic individual with psychological issues, and a history of swindling professorial contractors, only out to cause damage. This case has already reached the state level and back and has been declared in our favor. Usually we would ignore responding to a case regarding an individual like this, but we owe it to ourselves to protect our reputation."

Things went very well! The construction crews worked quickly but were also very particular about doing a great job. When things arose (like the rotten wood), I was informed of the problem and the cost involved immediately. Everyone I met was very professional and took pride in their work.

My wife and had LimeLight Inc. Custom Construction Services (LimeLight) paint the dormers on our house.  We met with 6 other companies and the LimeLight?s price was very competitive.  I had discussed the job to be done with a manager at a Sherwin Williams paint store, so I knew exactly what was required.  Jesus, the President of LimeLight was most knowledgeable and the only contractor, without any input from me, who planned to paint job as suggested by the Sherwin Williams manager.   Although, not the lowest bid, I was so impressed that we selected LimeLight.    
They had one team do the entire job.  All the workers were very friendly, courteous and worked in a very efficient manner.  On several occasions they asked me to inspect their work.  On one such inspection, I noticed a problem with the Azek trim that had been installed by someone else.  I had not recognized this problem prior to painting.  They suggested how they could fix problem.  There was never an extra charge for their extra effort.  Thus, even before the job was finished, it was clear to us that the entire crew had been painting professionally for years and not jacks of all trades and masters of none. LimeLight did what was contracted to be done and for the price agreed upon. 
I rank them at the top of the scale for anyone that wants a quality job done at a very competitive price.

I first had Limelight paint the majority of our rooms in our primary house.  Their estimate was a little bit higher than other estimates, but Jesus was willing to come closer to the price of the other licensed painter's estimate.  I was impressed with their work and efficiency that I hired them to paint our entire rental townhouse and remodel the bathroom (which I was impressed with their analysis of what to do when I got an estimate from them 4 years back).  The bathroom looked gorgeous and they were able to complete the work before his promised date.

Limelight is the best contractor we have ever had (& we have had the good, bad, & truly ugly). They showed up on time & cleaned up each night. The craftsmanship was superb. The tile was a custom design that required above average skill to execute. They did it perfectly. The paint job was also outstanding. Significantly, Limelight solved all the problems that invariably arise during construction. For example, the granite company delivered the wrong color stone & did not want to cut a slab of the right color. Limelight made sure we got the right stone. I have acted as general contractor on other jobs, so it was a treat to have Limelight acting as my advocate. This was the least stressful remodel I have ever been through. Basically, I just relaxed & they took care of everything. Limelight finished the job ON TIME & according to contract. Communication was excellent, & the owner had several ideas that improved the project. We have since hired them to do exterior painting, & again they did a great job. I also watched Limelight do major kitchen & bath remodels for a neighbor. Both jobs were outstanding. Limelight is a tile/color/paint expert. If they make suggestions about color, faux painting, tile placement, etc., you should listen. LimeLight's bids are usually in the middle range. However, in my experience, Limelight is cheaper in the end than the "lowest bidder" because LimeLight does the job right, on time, & according to contract.

Limelight is the best contractor we have ever dealt with (and we have had the good, bad, and the truly ugly). They spent over a week doing the wood replacement, trim replacement with PVC, and caulking every board and nail hole. They then painted with a high quality paint that acts as a sealant (Duration, by Sherwin Williams). The workers showed up on time, cleaned up all trash, and did a meticulous job. The owner stopped by frequently to check that all was well. Communication was excellent. Limelight had previously done a major bathroom remodel for us. They were wonderful. We decided to paint instead of doing vinyl siding mainly because we knew we could trust Limelight to do the job right. They did. The house looks great and it's weather secure. Limelight's bids are usually in the middle range, but they are cheaper in the end than "low bidders" because Limelight does it right and on time.
