FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DOES THE CONSULTATION PROCESS WORK?

We schedule a time to meet with you at your home, and our lighting designer will put together a custom design for your home and yard. From there, we create a proposal on site and review it with you. Most of our clients move forward that day and will get scheduled for a professional installation with our certified lighting technicians.

Our average lead time is one to two weeks.

HOW LONG DOES THE INSTALLATION TAKE?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE COST?

While every lighting design is customized to the home, a good way to ballpark your outdoor lighting investment is to calculate about ½ a percent to 1 percent of your property value.

I am very happy with my lights - Bernie, Zach and Edwin are the nicest guys - they are very polite - their mothers raised them right - they cleaned up and did an amazing job - especially Bernie - they worked hard and had wonderful suggestions about the light issue - her daughter (miss picky pants) was worried about the light shining in her room said the light does not shine in her room so she is happy - overall it was a wonderful experience

Great experience with these guys. I have put this off for years. Their demo was over the top and made the decision easy. The install was seamless, and they came back one evening to make it was all perfect. I would highly recommend them.
