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 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.

We did quite a bit of searching for someone to install lighting for our home. So glad we found The Illuminators. Joe and team were fantastic! 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!

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

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!
