Hiring an Outdoor Lighting Company Without Regretting It|What Separates One Outdoor Lighting Company From Another for Homes and Businesses

Filed by @johnathanppvk463

Where homeowners go wrong

The trouble with shopping for outdoor lighting is that two numbers can describe two completely different jobs. A template plan and a custom design often quote close together, and look nothing alike at night.

Ask whether the design comes first

The first question is simple: what does the plan for my house look like? If somebody can point at the gables and tell you why, that is a good sign. A company that cannot is selling you a package.

After the crew leaves

Everything mounted outdoors eventually needs somebody to look at it. Ask now who that is. For seasonal work, ask specifically about takedown and off season storage. For permanent systems, ask how the app works and who supports it.

Ask what they are set up to do

Some companies only do seasonal work. Some only do low voltage yard lighting. Some cover the whole property. Ask what they do not do so you can weigh the advice.

Ask about residential versus commercial

Homes and businesses ask different things of a lighting plan. A home wants the front to look right and the walk to be visible. A business wants to be found from the road after sunset, often in company colors. Ask which one they do more of, then decide whether that matches your job.

Signs to walk away from

Pressure to sign the same day is the clearest one. If nobody will write down what gets lit, there is nothing to hold anybody to. An unclear answer on what happens when something quits is usually the honest answer showing through.Plenty of honest companies are just disorganized. But lighting is going to live on the front of your house, and the paperwork is the part you rely on when something goes wrong.Get two or three quotes, and compare what is in them rather than the totals. A custom design and a stock package are not the same job, even at the same price. Ask each one what they would cut first, because the answer tells you what they think matters.

Ask where they actually work

Local is not just a nice sentiment here: the crew that works your county knows the houses.

What is permanent outdoor lighting?

Permanent outdoor lighting is a fixed LED system installed along a building's roofline, eaves and architectural lines and left in place all year. The LEDs sit in a track that is color matched to the trim, and the system is controlled from a smartphone app. It replaces the seasonal strands that go up and come down each year.

Are the lights noticeable during the day?

The track is color matched to the trim or fascia and mounted tight along the edge of the roofline, so it is designed to stay discreet in daylight and read as part of the house rather than as decoration.

Does EverCrest Lighting install Christmas lights?

Yes. EverCrest Lighting installs Christmas and holiday lighting, and also installs permanent LED systems that handle holiday colors from an app. On traditional holiday lighting, EverCrest Lighting handles takedown at the end of the season and off season storage.
