We’ve used them twice now, first to install can lights in our secondary bedrooms and then again to install a large chandelier in our family room. Both experiences were excellent. They are super friendly, always provide an estimate upfront, show up when expected, and work very cleanly. I wish it were this easy to hire every contractor! Great work and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!

This company is a pleasure to deal with. Andrew, the owner/operator, responds to questions quickly. The installers are friendly, efficient and prioritize protecting your property. The pricing is competitive and fair.
I wanted to install recessed lighting and a dimmer in two bathrooms and was dreading searching for an electrical contractor to do a relatively small job.
Luckily, my search led me to The Recessed Lighting Company and now they have a customer for life.

Second time using Recessed Lighting Company and both times have been great.
The installation was done very professionally. Everything was carefully covered, lights installed, patched where needed, and cleaned up after they were finished.
Added canned lights to rooms without any overhead lighting, the rooms are much brighter now.

I have used Recessed Lighting Co many times. They are always here when they say they will be here. They do an awesome job. I have had recessed light put up in my tall ceiling, added more power to charge my electrical car, installed a fan in the bedroom and figured out what connector is doing what in the house. This last job I had two TV's where I had the power and HDMI cord hidden in the wall. Always professional work and workmanship.

The Recessed Lighting Company did a great job in stalling our lights. The team of Daniel, Keenan, Victor, and Brian were very friendly, did the job quickly, and the lights look great.

Second time with Recessed Lighting Company. I refer all my friends. From the estimate through receiving my receipt and warranty upon completion everything was handled with utmost courtesy and care. Most importantly the actual work was done perfectly and in my particular project due to Dylan’s creativity no access holes or patching was needed to install a ceiling fan in one room and four recessed lights in another.
Thanks all for another great job!

Wow! They did a better job than what I expected. They installed ceiling fans in my sons’ rooms, and they did an excellent job. They kept wall cutting to a minimum and took the time to protect the floors and walls before starting the work, so the house never became a mess. I highly recommend them!

We needed a ceiling fan installed in our bedroom. There was no electricity in our ceiling.
The Recessed Lighting Company was chosen by us to install the fan. I want to recommend Andrew Schmitz and his Company to ANYONE needing ceiling fans, lighting, or any other electrical work. Professional installation-no mess- beautiful results!!! Thank You!!🙏

I have used this company multiple times in the past 20 years and they are always excellent! They do great work from the initial phone call to the finished project. They have done my recessed lighting, ceiling fans, outside lights, bathroom lights, exhaust fans, and garage lights. The crew is professional, meticulous and very clean. I have had no problems with any of my projects. I will always go to Andrew and his crew for any lighting project!

Shawn, Dylan, and the crew were awesome. They showed up on time, were friendly and courteous, worked efficiently, and cleaned up. I was very impressed with both the quality of their work and how professionally they handled everything. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
