Michael came over to our home shortly after we contacted him. We had recently moved and needed to activate a sprinkler system. He was able to repair a couple of minor issues and get things up and running in a short period of time for a reasonable cost.

Mike did an outstanding job with our outdoor lighting system. From the initial consultation to the final installation, he was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The lighting looks amazing and really highlights our landscaping. I am 100% pleased with the results and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for top-quality outdoor lighting or irrigation solutions!

I recently hired Outdoor Lighting (Mike) to install lighting in my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, Mike was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He took the time to understand my vision, provided great recommendations, and executed the installation flawlessly. Not only was the quality of their (he worked with another employee) work outstanding, but pricing was also very fair compared to other quotes I received. He was transparent, honest, and delivered exactly what has been promised - on time and within budget. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled lighting company that offers excellent service at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Mike with Outdoor Lighting!

Mike was excellent to work with. Quick to respond and come to the house to give us a quote. He had great suggestions and his goal was to make sure we were satisfied. He set up a demo to make sure we would like everything and then installed the next day after we tweaked a few things. His price was very good and the quality of his work exceptional. We recommend him highly!
