Outstanding. All the fans are install professionally and work perfectly and quietly.
In the past he installed our attic fan flawlessly as well as extra outlets throughout the house.
He also rewired our kitchen when we renovated and put in a 220 circuit and connection for our Hot tub.
We will be requesting him to come back and do some exterior lighting in the spring as well.
I wont use any other electrician in the Spotsylvania area, hands down.
Very professional and courteous as well as extremely knowledgeable when answer questions. Very honest and forthright.

"This project originally began only as painting the inside of the house. Ashley and Josh came in and found so many things that needed to be fixed that would impede the sell of the house. They always notified me of the issues as they came up, but they did not pressure me into hiring them to fix anything. I really appreciated that and it is one of the things that made me decide to hire them for the entire renovation once I decided to do it. Ashley also presented a detailed, itemized invoice with every project. If there was something she knew she already had at home, such as hardware for the doors or lighting, she made sure to ask if I wanted to use that first before purchasing anything. They are very generous with their time and materials. Ashley was also honest when it came to ideas I might have about different areas and if they were worth fixing monetarily. They did not just agree to do whatever I wanted, she told me if it would be in my best interest or not to fix or leave certain things. They are extremely trustworthy and efficient. I could not recommend them enough!"

Delightful Gardens Landscape Company is a family-owned design/build landscape contracting company. In business since 1992, Delightful Gardens has helped countless homeowners in the Williamsburg area to improve their outdoor spaces. We are licensed, insured, and all projects are completed by our skilled crews.
"Ryan and the team at Delightful Gardens was fantastic. We got a few quotes/designs for a backyard project (tearing down an old deck and trying to do something with an area where grass would not grow). Ryan easily came up with the best design, and the price was very reasonable. Once the actually work started, things went very smoothly, and Ryan kept us up to date along the way of any delays (weather for example). We fell in love with his design for our area, and the finished job exceeded even what we imagined. The crew doing the actual install were very friendly, and cleaned up nicely after each day. Everything we experienced with Delightful Gardens is the exact opposite of every other contractor we have worked with. Such a pleasant experience all around. You can't go wrong with these guys. The owner, Don, even made a stop out one day and chipped in! Great team all around. (before and after pics uploaded)"

Exterior 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.
Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the area size and lighting plan.
Costs depend on material thickness, surface design, reinforcement, and labor required.
Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.
LED lights last much longer than conventional incandescent light bulbs. Most manufacturers estimate that LED bulbs can last between 10 and 15 years, but they more often last between four and seven years with regular use. Other factors, such as heat exposure and surging electrical currents, can cause an LED bulb to burn out prematurely.
