I received three quotes before choosing Mark for my lighting. Marks prices were competitive, his knowledge was evident, and the time he took to perform a demo for my wife and I on a Friday night made it an easy decision. Mark had Herbert over to install the system after we came to an agreement within 10 days, much faster than the other two bids were going to be able to complete the work as well. Mark came out multiple times to check in on the lighting to make sure it met our needs, and to answer all of my questions. His average response time to any of my questions was under an hour, whether that was email or text. This is the type of business and customer service you just can?t find anymore. I told Mark this is my favorite addition to our home. The lights that Mark uses also carry a lifetime guarantee, something no other providers could offer. They are extremely high quality, and very good looking (not plastic, actually a solid bronze). They even have a remote so Mark can fine tune the brightness of each individual light in 5% increments, plus 2-4 lens options with varying light scatter. Needless to say we are happy, and I would say look no further for your lighting needs. I have referred him to my parents and many neighbors already. We have actually just hired Mark again to add lighting to our back yard as well as our paver patio seating wall. He was able to use a single transformer for the front and back saving us on cost. Thank you Mark and Herbert for the outstanding service. You are truly a 5 star business.

Mark is a consummate professional and genuinely cares about his work. With his superb attention to detail, the lighting scheme was designed and installed to perfection. He uses premium quality lights and they are worth every penny. Our expectations were exceeded across the board. Just like most things in life - you get what you pay for, folks!

We cannot say enough how wonderful Mark was to work with on this project. Upon our first call, Mark came out quickly to discuss the project and to provide a demo. Mark had done another home in our neighborhood, so we knew already that we liked his work, but his customer service and attention to detail was beyond what we expected. We agreed to move forward and given a window in his schedule he was able to install the lights the following week. His team came and completed the job in one day and were very thoughtful in how they cleaned up after themselves. Mark also called to see how we liked everything after the first night with our lights. In addition to installing all of the lights planned, Mark added an additional spot light on our address sign for no additional cost because he felt it would bring that little extra to the project. We cannot recommend Mark highly enough!

My objective was to update from my old lighting system to the new LED fixtures, and to repair wiring that had been damaged by a snow blower. Milmark found ways to improve and update, while keeping the cost to a minimum. We are very happy with the results. Milmark answered all of my questions and concerns prior to installation. I would definitely call them for my next project.

Milmark was professional in every regard. He answered all of our questions before, during, and after installation. Mark arrived on time as scheduled for the installation. He and his crew were very professional and the installation went very smoothly. The final lighting looked exactly like the demonstration. We are delighted with the service and the value of the spend and can recommend the company with no hesitation.
Description of Work: Mark from Milmark Lighting came to our home at night for a demonstration of his lighting plan. Mark arrived as scheduled and set up the demo quickly. This was a very professional, informative and important process to help us make a decision. It helped visualize what the finished system would look like. He knew what he was talking about and explained the great warranty they offer on the products and service.

Mark came to our home to hear what we wanted. He brought equipment with him so he could demonstrate how the various options would look once installed. He then e-mailed a proposal. Initially, we wanted lighting for the back yard as well. However, the proposal was more expensive than we had anticipated. We asked him to install only the lighting for the front and side yards. He came with a helper to do the installation, set the automatic timer and showed us how to operate it, and checked back to see if we were happy with the final installation. We had him add a couple of additional lights. The final installation is exactly what we wanted. He did an excellent job!

We contacted Milmark to get an estimate on installing outdoor lighting in the front of our newly constructed home. Mark Hoffman's estimate was expertly detailed even providing us with a temporary visual install at night of what our lighting could look like. When we received the quote we were disappointed because we loved his work but could not afford the cost. Mark worked with us to make changes to the design of the install. He came to our home again to give us a demo of a revised installation which we loved and so was able to bring the quote down to an amount we could manage. His employee was punctual, professional and courteous. We love our lighting at the front of our new house and will use him again down the road when we have additional lighting needs.

We made our decision to pursue lighting late in the year and found Milmark on Angie's list. Mark responded to our inquiry in a timely manner, gave us a proposal which had all the necessary terms and conditions spelled out including pricing which he met to the dollar. Installation was scheduled and completed professionally. He had a helper, who like Mark, knew what he was doing and together they completed our work in less than a day. Mark came back at night to check how it looked, besides giving me some basic instructions and paper work on operation. We jointly decided that a hood on one light was necessary and he had to put that on order. He temporarily used a smaller one of his own to minimize the glare. He has kept me informed and I am expecting it mid January. Mark's workmanship guarantee is in writing and the Manufacturer's warranty covers the lights,etc. He uses Kischler lighting products so his price was not in the strata of the lower end equipment out there. He suggested LED lights over conventional for reasons of durability and operating costs in the future,but it was our choice. I did not competitively bid this job because after discussing the specifics like his background (electronics), his equipment selection, his experience in this work, etc. (incl. Angie's List's references) and my prior experiences with a landscaper who did this as an "add on" , I felt I was getting the whole deal. At this point I feel that I did. I feel we that we got a first rate job and that I can call on and count on Mark in the future for assistance.
Description of Work: * Mark Hoffman ( Milmark owner) displayed his recommended lighting after dark with demo lights *Trenched and ran lighting lines close to the house including conduit shielding where necessary to prevent damage from future planting; also made allowance for an additional light in the future in an area we wanted to "live with" before deciding * Installed 11 LCD spot lights, 300w transformer w/battery back-up timer and photocell *Involved owners in final light placement after dark and modified as required.

Mark is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I was pleasantly surprised at the quoted price and just as pleased with the installation. Mark calls to check up and see how things are going and promptly makes adjustments! It is nice to know there is still a company out there that is concerned with customer service!

The key to this story was Mark and his professionalism and knowledge of his craft. First off what made this whole situation work is that Mark provides a demo using real lights to show the customer how their house would look with exterior lighting. Not only did he come after 5pm to give me the demo but, he answered all my questions and was prompt with his installation. The best part of the install was that I was not there for any of it! He did it all and to be honest I forgot that I was even getting it done! Then one night after a bad day I turned the corner on my street and saw my house all lit up! I have had neighbors tell me that at night it looked like an abandoned house and now it looks like a show house! I give all the credit to Mark!
Description of Work: Mark came out and gave me a demo of what exterior house lighting would do for the look of my house and needless to say I was sold and Mark installed lights that accent the house and 4 trees located within the landscape. With the light installation came the hanging of a transformer in the garage and the install of an electric eye and a timer to control the lights.

Mark came to our home and conducted an initial design consultation and demonstration. We liked his design and creative ideas and decided to award the work to him. He came in exactly on budget and completed all work within a week of signing the contract. He also found a creative way to route the wires which saved me in excess of $200. We have had poor experiences with other outdoor lighting companies in the past; but Mark was extremely honest, professional and delivered on all of him commitments. He has my unconditional endorsement.
Description of Work: Milmark installed low voltage landscape lighting around in the front of our home. This included lighting the actual house as well as key landscape planting throughout the property. The system is driven off of a timer which is very simple to program and use.
