Illuminators Outdoor lighting were able to completely repair and/or install landscape lighting at our home. The lighting that we had (about 15 light fixtures) was largely broken and inadequate to properly light our property. We were told by other companies that we would need to replace everything, without the opportunity to fix/save anything we had previously installed. After my first call with Wendy, I was surprised to learn that they would be happy to fix anything worth repairing - nice to hear. She sent out Alex and Lucas two weeks earlier than we had expected, a nice surprise! Alex and Lucas

Joe did a great job designing the lighting within our budget. The installers were professional and the installation was flawless. When asked about additional lighting, they installed them immediately. Our home looks great at night and we've had numerous compliments from our neighbors. Thanks Joe!

Joe & his team are AMAZING! They are very respectful of people & property. I wish there were more businesses like this. The installation team were some of the best people I have ever met. Joe was also wonderful. He quoted the job & did everything he said he would. He took the time to call me, and text me every time I had a question. He made me feel like I was his ONLY customer. The whole experience was flawless. If you need landscape lighting, these are your people. Thanks to Joe & his team for everything!

Joe and his team were fantastic! From the initial meeting to quote the job to the day of install, we were very impressed with Illuminators. They were very professional, responsive and stayed in touch with us every step of the way. They were there when they said they'd be there and left our home looking absolutely beautiful. We've had many compliments on the lighting and are so glad we chose Joe and his team. We highly recommend Illuminiators!!!! You won't regret your choice!!!

From start to finish we were very pleased. Joe came up with a lighting plan and let us know we had options to do it in phases or all at once. The install team was professional, careful with all my plants and flower beds and did an incredible job. We never felt pressured to do more than we were comfortable with and are thrilled with the job they did. We would highly recommend them.

Joe responded to all of our questions and concerns quickly and they stayed within our budget needs. Honest and trustworthy, great work and completed the job in one day. So pleased with the results.
So happy we were able to support a local business too!
Great job Joe and team!

Joe walked through everything and made great recommendations for lighting. Crew showed up early, together and went straight to work. Treated my house as though it were theirs. Walked me though everything before getting started. Explained entire system when completed and you could never tell they were there everything was cleaned up perfectly. Best work crew I’ve ever seen. Timely, professional and knew what they were doing. Highly recommend Illuminators

There were vandalism incidents so we installed outdoor security cameras and looked into exterior lighting improvements. Our Google searches pointed us to The Illuminators. Wendy was quick with responses when I reached out. Owner Joe visited our townhome for an onsite consultation. He listened to my explanations of our needs, assessed our property, showed me the types of fixtures, made recommendations for placement, answered all my questions. I enjoyed talking with Joe. It waslike a chat with a friend, not a one-sided conversation or an aggressive sales pitch. I never felt pressured. The lighting

They just completed the lights in my yard. They were professional and communicated throughout the process very well! We realized an existing light hadn't been reconnected and decided to switch the location of one of the new lights(we asked for the change originally). They came back immediately with no charge and couldn't have been nicer about it!

Our landscape lighting suddenly went out one night, power was fine to the box on our exterior wall, but wasn't making it to the fixtures. I called the Illuminators and Wendy put me on their schedule. She couldn't confirm when they would do the work, but said they'd be in my area the next day and they might be able to fit me in. The next morning I got a text saying the techs would be there by noon, and to confirm.
Evan and Greg came with all the equipment, including the best tool for the job, the underground cable locator. They traced it to a fence post the neighbor had put in the

I highly recommend Joe and his team. I met with multiple vendors and Joe was definitely the most responsive, had the the the best value and a fair price. The installation started right on time, went on without a hitch, and the end product is beautiful! We are extremely happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Illuminators to anyone!

This company is absolutely a KEEPER! I've been using their services for years for the landscaping lighting of my property. I get nothing but compliments from my neighbors about how nice my home looks at night with the landscape lights and during the holidays we never need to put up holiday lights because the Illuminators change the landscape lights to festive holiday colors of red and green. Their office staff is an absolute joy to deal with - always friendly and efficient.

Illuminators needs to improve its customer communication. The guys in the field explicitly communicated pricing to me that was different from what Wendy did in the office. She was uncompromising in her stance, which is different from the customer service I typically receive from other businesses that error on the side of honoring what's most favorable to the customer. I should also mention the pricing on the invoice template was less than what I was charged, which makes me question if I was price discriminated or if Illuminators just needs to update its template. So far I haven't

These guys were great! After our landscaper screwed us by not honoring a warranty on landscape lighting, I called the Illuminators to help. They fit us into their schedule immediately, showed up with a professional crew and had the job done in no time. They even made some adjustments on other lights to make it all look better. Really nice guys and great craftsmanship - would totally call them again!

My husband and I used The Illuminators to install lighting on the front and rear of our home. We are beyond thrilled with the job they did. From the time they came out to look at our property to give us suggestions and an estimate through the install date, they were a pleasure to work with. They listened to what we wanted and what our concerns were, gave us valuable suggestions and, ultimately, went far beyond our expectations. We are extremely pleased with the great job they did for us!

These guys did a great job for us. They gave us a firm quote. Installed the transformer in our basement and for no additional cost connected other lights we had on a separate transformer to the one they were installing. They then removed unsightly wired from our front porch. We were very pleased and would recommend them for your illumination project
