+ -1 moreI live on a street without lights and I needed lights so friends could get from the front door to the driveway. I got an estimate quickly. Agreed on the price and a date was set up. They came when they said they would. Did a nice clean job. They put lights in some of my big trees that give just enough light for people to find their way. It was exactly what I wanted- light, but not too bright.

The price was not cheap, but it seemed fair, and you get what you pay for. This lighting system will be a great enhancement to our property for years to come.

+ 1 moreThe owner of Illumination Concepts is a true professional in every sense demonstrating knowledge, creativity, excellent communication skills and level of commitment to his work. It is rare to find such a business owner with all of these qualities. I have had quite a lot of experience with contractors and landscapers and never had such a positive experience. I gladly paid the fees because the landscape lights look absolutely gorgeous and I believe it improved the look and the value of our property. I highly recommend Illumination Concepts.
Description of Work: Designed and installed all new outdoor lighting in front and backyard. Removed existing lighting which was installed many years ago and lacking in both quality and functionality. Consulted with me on design prior to installation and afterward.

+ 0 moreNick Tennis (owner) came by and we discussed what i wanted in terms of the exterior lighting of my home. He scheduled an appointment to come by and do the job. This project needed the services of a good electrician and Nick recommended one and also handled that service as well in the project. Then on the same day he and his assistant performed agree upon tasks of installing the entire lighting system. After the lights were fine-tuned or pointing just right to get the right effect on the house (done at night), it really looks great and makes my home look great too of course. Nick did what he said and also to my approval. Nick knows the art of lighting and also the current technology of the hardware so it made me feel like I was in good hands. I would recommend him to anyone. I would use him again. It is obvious that Nick cares about his quality of work and wants the customer to be happy......and I am.
Description of Work: Nick Tennis (owner of Illumination Concepts) designed and installed an exterior lighting system on my home. This included ten low voltage LED lights, a controller/timer, one outdoor weather-proof power plug, and a hand-held remote control. All fixtures and equipment is of architectural grade and looks robust and very nice and was installed in a professional manner. Once we agreed upon the times for the lighting to come on and go off, Nick programmed the controller/timer unit. The cool hand held remote is for in case I want to override the controller and make them go off or come back on manually. All very cool and modern.

He spent the time to listen to our ideas and wishes and then came back with an incredible plan that he then executed with perfection. We LOVE the effect and the change it has made to curb appeal to our home.
Description of Work: We live on a corner lot and Nick did the front and part of 1 side of the house that faces the main street. The effect is incredible with a minimum of lights on such a large yard.

+ 1 moreNick and team were an absolute pleasure to work with at every stage of our project. He had great ideas for our property, fair and accurate pricing proposals, and they delivered exactly what they promised on-time and on-budget. He is obsessed with making sure his customers are thrilled, and unstoppably persistent until that goal is achieved. I can't recommend Nick highly enough, and wouldn't consider anyone else if we had more lighting work to be done.
Description of Work: Illumination concepts did landscape lighting for our home in Travis heights, including moonlighting in the trees, bistro lighting on a terrace, and ground lights.

+ 0 moreNick and his crew were professional from start to finish. I cannot recommend Illuminations enough! The job was finished right on schedule and Nick came over at night when the lights first came on to make sure everything was exactly as I wanted it. The lighting was SO much more beautiful than I had imagined! I feel very safe now that my yard has soft lighting, and as well the trees and bushes that were accented are spectacular! As a matter of fact, I just contacted Illuminations so that they can come and add the lights that were in the original estimate! A friend that saw my yard has already contracted Illuminations to come and add lights to his yard. If you are thinking about getting lights in your yard, do NOT contact a landscaping company "that also does lighting". I initially had hired a landscaper to put in a few lights and compared to Illuminations, the work the landscaper did looks sub-par compared to my new lighting Nick put in ( luckily, he was happy to fix the lighting the previous contractor had done so now everything looks great). Nick Tennis and Illuminations gets my highest recommendation?.. if only all the contractors I have worked with were as great as this company!
Description of Work: Nick Tennis ( the owner) came by and gave me an estimate of what lighting he thought would look best in my yard, from an aesthetic view as well as safely and security. Since I had never had lighting done, I wanted to start small so he worked with me to figure out what could be done within my price range. Nick assured me that when I was ready to add more lighting it could easily be done once the main systems were in.

+ -1 moreMr. Tennis arrived and we discussed what I would like to accomplish with my lighting. I have a beautiful oak tree in my back yard and wanted to light it softly. I also had very dark areas that needed soft illumination. I wanted to add the lighting but also wanted to be considerate of my neighbor and not lights shining into his home all night. Nick was able to do exactly as I had asked and it only took him 1 day. He waited until dark and returned to my house and made sure the lights were in the right location and that I was happy. Nick also anticipated future lighting and added enough wiring to handle the additions. I truly appreciate the kind of service I was given. Not only is Nick pleasant and friendly but he is good at what he does! I look forward to using him again in the future.
Description of Work: Illuminated large oak tree, dark side yard areas and one sitting area.

+ 1 moreI wish Angie had an "A+" selection, as this is what I would liked to have chosen for a rating for Illumination Concepts. Nick, the owner is a true professional, and knowledgeable about landscape lighting - he made several suggestions after we told him what we wanted and gave us ideas we had not considered. He also is a gentleman, and responded to our calls whenever we had questions or concerns. He warrants his work and offered a yearly maintenance package which was very reasonable. He is the one you talk to about the job and the one who puts it in - no subcontracting. If any members would like to Email me I would gladly give them my address so they could see the truly beautiful job done by Illumination Concepts. I plan on adding more lighting by Illumination Concepts after I build a pool. Patrick !

+ -1 moreWe contacted Nick Tennis, owner of Illumination Concepts, after observing the high praise he received, from previous clients, on Angie's List. When we spoke to him we were very impressed with his approach, which was to highlight the existing environment (trees, color of the stone, foot print and façade of the home, etc.) to give an artistic flair to the finished product. At no point did we feel that we were being talked into buying more than what we needed. We were offered a range of options (products and pricing) and the technical differences were explained in terms that we could understand. The quote was submitted in a timely manner and there were no surprises. The scheduling was accommodated to suit our needs and work started as scheduled. Eduardo (who installed the lights and the wiring) was very conscientious and meticulous; Nick inspected his work regularly. The work was finished on time. When the lights were turned on after dusk, we were very pleased with what we saw. The lighting has further enhanced the curb appeal of our home. Nick was at our home to make sure that we were happy with what we saw. We plan on engaging Illumination Concepts for additional work around our yard.

Our backyard is now lit just enough to be magical all year long. Illumination Concepts did an excellent, quick job with high quality materials. Would love to recommend them to others.

+ -1 moreOur system had not had regular service for about a year due lack of response and inadequate maintenance service by a different contractor. Nick was thorough and detailed. He explained what our options were for maintenance. He provided a thorough estimate and allowed us to select what services we wanted to proceed with. Nick did not pressure us into any options. He provide use with education on what his maintenance service includes and the frequency. Nick and his worker, were punctual and as they identified additional issues, we were able to have those addressed and corrected all in the same visit. Nick does exactly what he promises. After dark, we went out to review the lights. They look great! We will continue to have Nick come to maintain our system.
Description of Work: I had trouble with the other lighting contractors performing maintenance to our landscape lighting. I called Nick on a Thursday and he was able to come out the next day to take a look at the setup. He identified what would need to be done and agreed to come back on Monday to do the work. He and his worker did the following: RETRO-FIT THE EXISTING FRONT AND BACK YARD LIGHTING SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE FLAG POLE LIGHT WITH 5 YEAR WARRANTED LED BULBS. COLOR TEMP WILL BE 3000k. REPLACEd 3 EXISTING SMALL WALL WASHER FIXTURES ON THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE WITH ACCENT FIXTURES THAT WERE RELOCATED TO UP LIGHT/GRAZE THE STONE REPLACED WIRE LEADS WHERE NEEDED ON THE FIXTURES MOUNTED IN THE BACK YARD OAKS. INSPECTED AND LOOSEN EXISTING WIRES WHERE POSSIBLE. INSPECT TREE FIXTURE MOUNTING BASES AND ADJUSTED AS NEEDED, TO PREVENT BARK GROWING OVER THE BASES AND SCREWS. INSPECT AND CLEAN ALL FIXTURES AND SOCKETS. INSPECTED HUB CONNECTIONS FOR MOISTURE WICKING. REPLACED CONNECTIONS IF NEEDED DUE TO WICKING. CLEANED THE TRANSFORMER CASE INSIDE AND OUT. For those who believe this cost is high -- it is not. Quality fixtures and LED bulbs cost more but you get what you pay for. We thought the price was fair for the work that was performed. If we had not had this service done now and waited another 6 months I think we would have had to redo the entire installation.

This was so evident in Nick's enthusiasm. It made the job twice as fun to work with someone was just as excited as I was to see the final result. He still calls and checks in to make sure I'm happy with the work. I would hire Nick and Illumination Concepts again without a doubt. I am so grateful to Angie's List for finding him. Tell Nick that Gina sent you!!
Description of Work: The owner, Nick Tennis, came out and consulted with me and gave me a bid. He is so knowledgeable about lighting and design and had some great ideas. His bid was beyond fair and he did the work the very same week. There was never an issue over money at all. The results make my house look stunning. I got the idea to do colored landscape lights and this was new to Nick. But he did the research, found the lights and sold them to me at his cost. He came out to my house in the evenings on multiple occasions to see if all the lights were at the correct angles and locations. He went above and beyond and the job shows it. Thank you Nick!!

+ -1 moreNick tops out on any scale: 5 out of 5 stars, Net Promoter Score of 10, or a good old fashioned A+. We wanted to light up the exterior of our house and thought we might also want some landscape lighting in front. We knew we needed design help. Nick proposed a simple and elegant plan for the house which turned out to be the perfect solution for highlighting the interesting architectural details. He then suggested some landscape lighting on a trial basis, which we also loved. I enjoy looking out the front windows at the lighted trees and palmetto and I find myself wandering out at night just to admire the view from the street. Professional, prompt and fun to work with - you won't regret going with Nick and Illumination Concepts.

It is more expensive than other lighting, but it has an excellent warranty on the bulbs and fixtures. If your on the fence on whether or not to do lighting, I can personally tell you that it is worth every dime. He even came over at 7 pm to make sure we liked it when we turned them on. GREAT SERVICE.
Description of Work: Nick went over what I was looking for, and gave a great proposal. We installed 20 LED lights in our front yard.
