What customers said about light fixture repair
Matthew is extremely knowledgeable, good communicator, and fairly priced for the quality of his lights and service. I recommended him to two of my closest relatives/friends and he delivered,
Matt and Erik came out promptly and addressed an electrical issue I had with my backyard landscape lighting. Highly recommended, thank you!
Great people. Kept me informed when they would be there, arrived on time, did a professional job at a reasonable price I would recommend them highly.
Matthew and his team did an outstanding job replacing our old fiber optic system with new LED strip lighting in our pony walls. I appreciated Matthew’s transparency letting me know exactly what was going to need to be done in order to complete the job. Their workmanship was great, and they even replaced the slate…
Matthew was a pleasure to work with. Showed up on time, worked quickly to troubleshoot the problem and when he was done cleaned up like they were never there.
First, OC Nightlights has been the company we rely on for exterior lighting at our home for the past 3 years. Matt and his team are great to work with and always do a great job. In my opinion the prices are reasonable and the work is top quality. To top it off, Matt is one of the nicest people you will ever meet!
