Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Birmingham

Marlin was on time and very professional and efficient. He is an expert on when to place the lights.

Installed promptly, professionally, and as agreed in contract. Even arranged to have the copper and brass lighting fixtures powder coated to better blend into the surrounding where they were installed (extra cost, but fairly reasonable). Marlin is easy to work with and has a very good grasp of what is needed to provide great lighting. Products are fairly expensive but great design and quality with very minimal footprint.

Marlin Bennetch is the consummate professional. Arrives on time as scheduled, delivered as promised and double checks work later to ensure customer satisfaction. His lighting designs add a whole new dimension to our home. Absolutely recommend this company!

Our son had used Outdoor Lighting Perspectives and highly recommended Marlin Bennetch. We spoke with Marlin and felt very confident with him as well. He is the consummate professional. His crew installed the lighting for our home but he came back after dark to insure the lighting was correct and to our satisfaction. This was approximately two years ago. When we moved to another home, there was no question that we wanted Marlin to install lighting for us again. Marlin has an expert eye for the lighting design and offers the best customer service. Really nice guy with a great product.

Great job. Marlin runs a top notch business. Easy to contact, very responsive, timely work done to complete satisfaction. Smooth and seamless installation and operation of the lighting system and timer box. Highly recommend Marlin and his company to anyone. The lights look fantastic!

Got there on time, gave an accurate estimate and did the job in a professional manner.

Very professional and they did exactly what they said they would. No problems and service was excellent!!! I will use them again when I move. Very happy customer!

There were no problems. The company was located from Angie's List. Owner Marlin Bennetch was contacted easily by phone and a preliminary appointment was made at a convenient time. He was prompt and went over the aspects of the proposed work in detail and made recommendations. Subsequently he sent a detailed proposal online including price. The work was planned to be done in 2 stages over as many months. Each time Mr. Bennetch and crew showed up on time and completed the work in a timely and professional manner. He later came by at night to inspect the functionality of the completed work and performed any needed adjustments. There were no unpleasant surprises. The work was technically excellent.

It went great! Workmen showed up early in the morning and were done with the job in only a couple of hours. Mr. Bennet came back in the evening, once it got dark, to check the placement of the bulbs, etc. Everything looks and works great.

Marlin (who is the owner of Outdoor Lighting Perspectives) installed and maintained the outdoor landscape lighting at our old home. When we got ready to build our new house, we wanted the landscape lighting installed before we moved in and Outdoor Lighting Perspectives was our first and only choice for the job. We put Marlin in touch with our builder in early December with a very tight time frame to complete the job prior to our scheduled closing. In spite of the fact that it was an extremely busy time, Marlin delivered. The lighting is beautiful and exactly what we wanted. We very much appreciate Marlin's attention to detail and delivering exceptional customer service and highly recommend Outdoor Lighting Perspectives.

From the start, the owner Marlin returned my initial call and scheduled a time where I could show him the area we wanted illuminated and he made several recommendations and asked questions as to what we wanted to accomplish. He then left and said he would call when he had drawn up the plan. He came back over 2 days later with the plan and the costs etc. We discussed it and I accepted his plan. The installation date was set and we were anxiously awaiting the date of installation. We wanted it in before Thanksgiving and he worked very hard at making that happen. In fact because of rain in the forecast for the days leading up to Thanksgiving, Marlin called and asked if he could bring his team to do some initial installation so as to avoid the possible delay with the rain. We gladly accepted his request. His team was always there when scheduled and the lighting was complete before Thanksgiving as requested. We also noticed that with the lights on at night there was a spot that needed illumination and so I called him and asked if we could have an additional light installed. He went out of his way to get over to our house and get it in. I am extremely happy with the service and will always recommend him to anyone that is wondering about outdoor illumination.

It went great. He was very responsive and fixed the issue very quickly. I felt like it was a very good cost for the work that he did. He knew exactly what to do. We have used him before to install lighting before, so I felt very comfortable with him in my home. He was working his tail off to get us taken care of. They were very familiar with what was wrong and what needed to be done. I felt comfortable with his knowledge and expertise. He worked around what I needed and he was very accommodating to my needs. He had it done very quickly. It was great.

The owner of Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Marlin Bennetch, answered his cell phone on the second ring, and when I told him that three of our lights were out, he and two of his employees were at the house within an hour. One of his men went right to work, and not only determined that a wire had likely been cut, he found the cut within minutes. No hunting around digging all over the lawn......he found it on the first try! I watched the repair, and it looked like it would hold for 100 years. And of course when the lights were turned on, all three came on. I couldn't have been happier. And the price was right.

Prompt with estimate and gave me options and suggestions. The price he quoted was accurate and the work was done professionally and quickly. The materials he used are of the highest quality. I couldn't be more pleased. I wish he could do work at my weekend home too. I recommended him to my neighbors.

Mr. Marlin Bennetch and I first started talking in February of 2014. I have an old home and everything is line in voltage(120v/240v). We had hardscaping and landscaping done, and we really wanted to finish everything off with outdoor accent lighting. Even though Mr. Bennetch is not able to install high voltage systems, he always took my calls, answered my questions, and took the time to help me out with references for other people and companies to help us with our lighting delimma. As it turned out, I was able to switch out our light fixtures and system for a low voltage system in June of 2014. Marlin was my first and only call for installation. He set a time and date, arrived on time, and assembled, planned out, and installed our lights and transformer box in no time. He and his team are courteous, caring, and efficient. The lighting he installed looks fantastic, and our lawn looked as if it hadn't even been touched when they were finished. Not only did Mr. Bennetch help me before when he knew he couldn't do the install of our lights(because they were on a high voltage system), but when I was able to switch out our fixtures and get a transformer, he worked with the items I had already purchased from a different company. I would recommend Outdoor Lighting Perspectives to anyone. Marlin is truly a stand-up guy. I am looking forward to working with he and his team again soon to design and install more outdoor accent lighting. We couldn't be happier.

It was very well done. They were prompt, easy to work with, efficient, and very cordial. It was just nice to work with. They did a good job.

The owner, Marlin Bennetch, responded by phone to my online inquiry in less than 24 hours. We planned an initial visit as soon as my schedule would allow - to which he arrived just a few minutes EARLY (Impressive!). He was very attentive to my wishes and goals, asking many questions about what I wanted and expected to see, from what vantage points, mood, logistics - more questions than I could have imagined. He offered many suggestions and options. He never exaggerated. Though a little more expensive than what I had initially planned to spend, the quality of the work and fixtures turned out to be worth every cent. When I expand my landscape lighting to other areas of my property, I definitely will call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives.

Marlin was prompt, answered all questions, & gave a fair price. I was really happy with the results. Such that I recommended him to my parents, have used him for a second job. I would recommend his company to friends & family.

They were on time, performed work as described. Professional, outstanding service and product.

They were great. They came out and did what they said at a reasonable price.

Polite on phone, on time, informative. All good - it was a pleasure working with this company

Everything from the first appointment to the follow-up after installation was topnotch. Marlin Bennetch, the owner of the business, was totally involved in everything. I think this was a prime reason that I was so pleased with the service. Marlin was very professional, knowledgeable and aimed to please. It's not often that I have been so pleased about service work but he and his company delivered in spades. I got three estimates and his and another came in very close on cost. I chose Outdoor Lighting Perspectives because of the confidence I had in Marlin. I was right - he strives to deliver a first class job and he surely did. Use this company. You will not be disappointed.

very well. professional & pumctual

promptly came out to discuss what we wanted and to provide estimate. Scheduled install. A spot opened up in their schedule and they were able to start the work earlier than they anticipated. Install took 3 hrs, which was less time than we were expecting. One of the lights dimmed within a week and they were out that same day to replace the bulb. We are very satisfied with the work done and the professionalism of everyone. Highly recommend.

Very professional, arrived on time. Very neat. Work completed in one day. Completely happy with job.
