"Great. We have been using Chris for quite a while. For our outdoor lightning needs and also internet wiring. Would definitely recommend his company. They have been great to work with."
"He was very professional (he even arrived a little early), he inquired beforehand if I needed him to pick up the fluorescents which I didn't, and he went about his work without making phone calls or taking breaks. I am now comfortable that I have someone to complete the repairs around the house that I cannot do."
"Fairfax Antenna did an amazing job! In 2 1/2 hours they hooked up three new rooms, were very creative in threading the antenna wires through closets and under rugs so no holes were made in our walls and added a booster to our outside roof antenna. We now get tons of stations -- even Baltimore! I can't say enough about their professionalism, creativity and adherence to keeping the work area clean. I wouldn't call anyone else!"
"I had hired an electrician in the past to replace an outside electrical box and was surprised to learn that the industry average for any home visit was a flat $300. When I saw the Angie's List special $99 for $200 worth of work, I jumped on this great deal. I only had two minor issues to resolve...I had recently replaced the light bulbs on the front porch lights and with a couple weeks one stopped working, I assumed there was a loose wire. The tech removed the fixture and determined the connections were good and only needed to replace the bulbs. And I had a light switch in the kitchen that was not working, the tech replaced the switch. When the work was complete the tech told me that I exceeded the $200 worth of work and his flat fee for the work performed was $279, plus $5 for the switch. I ended up paying an additional $84 for this deal. "
"After doing our homework, my wife and I selected Mega Kitchen and Bath for complete remodels of our master bath and hall full bath. We could not have made a better decision as the entire process was flawless. Katherine, a Certified Interior Decorator, was so patient and helpful with our selections. Felipe, the project manager, came by almost every day. Not that he needed to, because the installers (Johnny and Grover) were courteous and extremely hard working. The project was completed on schedule and the quality of the work was such that we did not have any punch lists items once the baths were completed. I would recommend Mega Kitchen and Bath in a heartbeat. You can’t go wrong."
"George and his crew did a great job upgrading my basement bath with a new sliding glass tub door and tub/shower fixtures. They also did electrical work in my kitchen, adding a new outlet. They were on time, hard-working, honest, polite, and did exactly what I needed. I feel they went above and beyond & will definitely call them again for future work!"
"Excellent from start to finish!! Our screened-in porch was added to the back of our house & it looks beautiful!! The project manager kept us updated & the porch was competed in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend this contractor!"
"The work was done quickly and professionally. They remodeled two bathrooms in approximately two weeks. We couldn't be happier about the finished product or the value we received for our money."
"It went well, mostly. The contractor made suggestions based on unforeseen issues, and it came together. My only complaint is with the location of the fixtures. In one bathroom I replaced one large single fixture with two fixtures and asked for them to be centered over the sinks. Rather than centering each fixture over each sink, he centered them within the span of the sinks. Yikes! I chalked it up to my instructions not being explicit enough. "
Chandelier Installation questions, answered by experts
Installing recessed lights requires you to cut holes in the ceiling, create an electrical wiring connection, install the fixture, and connect it to your service panel. It should only be done by those with electrical skills, due to the safety concerns it presents.
If you feel uneasy about taking it on yourself, it’s recommended to contact a local technician to complete the installation for you.
For a 10-by-10-foot room, you’ll usually need between four and six recessed lights. However, this is a general figure because each space is different. In addition to your room’s square footage, it’s also important to consider other factors, like the purpose of the recessed lights. If they’ll serve as ambient lighting, you’ll need more lights than you would if you were using them for accent lighting.
Recessed lighting comes in hundreds of designs. Modern LED recessed lights have a longer lifespan than traditional incandescent bulbs. You can get integrated wafer canless bulbs that fit flush into the ceiling, even under a joist. In the can vs. canless recessed lighting discussion, both have their merits depending on your budget and ceiling space.
Solar landscape lighting is the easiest type of outdoor lighting to install. Because these lights don’t require being hardwired to an electrical connection, installation consists of simply staking the lights into the ground, with no wires required. Solar lights are a good option for houses without outdoor outlets or for areas that are much farther from the house itself.
An exterior lighting professional will normally be able to complete hardwired lighting installation in a day or two, depending on the size of the project, and they can install battery-powered or solar-powered lights in just a few hours. DIYing the project will often take a bit longer, but you can typically install battery- or solar-powered exterior lighting in a single weekend.
