Very happy with the service.
Description of Work: Extremely happy with the work done by Carolina Outdoor Lighting on our property. The demo is a great idea. We met, discussed what we were looking for in our outdoor lighting and then they came back a day or so later and placed lights around the property. That evening they returned and showed us what the lights would look like. We could make adjustments with them on the spot as we explored different lighting. So we were able to see what the lighting would look like before purchasing, what a great service. Regarding the installation, the team worked most of the day and when they left we couldn't even tell they had been there, well except for all the lights. Installation is professional and very skilled. Nothing disturbed.

Response from Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals, Inc
Members Name Removed thank you for the review and the B rating that you gave us. I know you love your lights and are happy with how they look. I am sorry that your property was struck by lightning months after we installed your system and that many of your services including your cable TV were knocked off line. Unfortunately, your lighting system that we put in was also damaged by the strike. I am also sorry that I was not able to give you free bulb replacements for the bulbs that were affected by lightning but it is impossible for us to cover bulbs that are damaged by lightning that hits your property. As you know, per our warranty, "Acts of God" including lightning strikes are not covered. We did fix your system within 24 hours of your call and I know you are currently happy with the service response time. Again I am sorry that we had to charge you for new bulbs but it is hard for us to cover costs that are not in our control. All the best Eric

They were fantastic to work with! They were really interested in hearing how I wanted things done and gave me their input. They acted as though it was their own yard and home that they were working on. The technicians were professional too. I’d recommend them to anybody!

It went great!
Description of Work: I had an old landscape lighting system that had expired sometime ago. I wanted my house to be on a timer and to have subdued lighting on the front of my house. Steve came out and gave me a fair and honest estimate. He took the time to walk me through what he would be doing and how it would reflect on my house. He showed up with a large crew (4) and knocked my project out in a couple of hours. I couldn't be happier. It looks great.

They are very good at what they do and have a good eye as to where lights should go to illuminate features of the home and garden. They were easy to work with and punctual.
Description of Work: Completely removed existing lighting on the house and replaced. (former company did not do a very good job) They also did uplighting and path lights in a garden island next to my house. It all looks awesome.

I found Carolina Outdoor Lighting through Angie's List. When I called to get preliminary info, Steve answered and was very informative about what they do. I had already looked at his website which is really helpful too. He came out to our house on a Friday evening and within 20 minutes had a demo set up to show us what our house could look like with outdoor lighting. Then he worked with us to make any personal adjustments we wanted. Both he and Eric were very nice to work with and very accommodating. Steve gave us an estimate immediately and we were so impressed with what they did that we agreed to have them do the work. They were back is less than a week to do the installation. Our house use to be in total darkness at night but now it is bathed in warm lights and is so welcoming. These guys were great! Would highly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Installation of uplights and directional lights to front of house and select trees.

We got Steve's contact at the Raleigh homeshow and called him for an estimate. Steve came out that same week and set up an evening "light show" for us. He also made some very useful suggestions in terms of lighting our driveway and walkway. Not only are they functional, but beautifies the entire house. His estimate was right on the money and the job was completed as scheduled. Since then, we had a contractor who ran over one of the lights and Steve came right out to fix it. Not only is Steve, very professional, but he's also warm and patient. He takes the time, to listen to your suggestions and makes the appropriate recommendations. Overall, we are thrilled with the work they have done and constantly get compliments from our neighbours. One was even so impressed with his work, that they called us and asked who our contractor was (even though other neighbours put lights up) and they ended up using Carolina Lighting as well.
Description of Work: Lighting was installed to illuminate the house, landscaping, walkway and the driveway.

See above. The experience went very well.
Description of Work: The service the vendor provided landscape lighting. The vendor was very responsive--he makes it a point of coming at night for the first visit and setting up a demonstration to give the customer an idea of the impact of the landscape lighting. This is a unique service. The vendor is also very responsive in the event there are issues after installation. We have been very pleased and would highly recommend this vendor and would use the services again.

Steve did a great job. He came out several weeks before he did the job and "set the stage" by placing lights around the yard at night and plugging them in. We were able to see what the yard would look like after he installed the lights. He made suggestions as to placement for the best results.

Steve was very responsive and very professional. What set him apart from the other people we contacted was his demo and his knowledge. The demo is outstanding and really lets you see what the job will look like before you make a decision. Steve's work was first rate. The house looks wonderful. He is more expensive than other contractors, but is worth the price.

The initial contact was easy. I got Steve's number from a neighbor and he called back very quickly. We arranged a demo of lights and this was installed in a day ready for dusk. Steve talked us through what he would do to eliminate some shadows and also to illuminate trees at the side of the property. We talked the pricing through and agreed what was to be done and the final price. There were no hidden extras and the price included tax. The job was delayed by the snow, but Steve called to let us know when he would be back, and he got everything installed in two days the following week. We are very pleased with the installation. Steve also provided a detailed list of the installation, the lights, and what bulbs they take, so we could go anywhere to get things fixed, upgraded or just new bulbs.

I called Steve on the phone and within 2 weeks, he was at our house at dusk on a Friday night doing a demonstration. It was VERY buggy and muggy and he and his assistant worked as if they didn't even notice. The demonstration was quite impressive and he was at our house 2 weeks later for the entire day installing 8 gorgeous copper lights - they even look beautiful in the daylight. We were a bit concerned about the burying of the cords since our ground is very hard. He alleviated those concerns since he had a tool that allows him to break 8 inches into the ground. I should also mention that before he started his job, he had the county come out and mark our gas and electrical fields, so that he knew to stay away from it. We were also concerned about hiding the wires in our footbridge, but he did some magic carpentry and we couldn't have been happier. The only slight negative I will point out is that the on/off system is infrequently finicky. It is very user friendly, but on 2 occasions, our lights did not turn off at their scheduled time of 12:15AM. However, I contacted him and he promptly responded with fix-it instructions. Steve also warned us that the system can occasionally be 'moody and he offered us a better more expensive system, but we chose the cheaper one. It's a minor setback, considering its ease of use and the beauty of our lights. We often sit out on our front porch and admire the best investment yet in our outdoor space. I highly recommend Outdoor Lighting Professionals - I did price out another company (franchise) and I felt comfortable that I was getting a good deal with Steve. He is professional, smart, and has a true artistic sense. He is also a local business owner, which we always prefer to franchise operations.
Description of Work: Outdoor effect lighting - spots into river birches, footbridge lighting, parking area lighting. Functional and beautiful.
