"Had to postpone the job. when I tried to call back and schedule another one they never contacted me back.


UPDATE - They have reached out to me and are coming to my home on 1/8/15. I will update again after I meet with them.

UPDATE - 2/4/2015 - They did come to my home and provided an estimate and plan for lighting our back yard and deck. 6 lights were included in our original purchased deal. Their proposal was for the original 6 lights plus another $1500 worth of lighting. I like their plan but we weren't prepared to spend the additional money at this time. They came out yesterday and installed just the initial 6 lights. They arrived on time and the work they did is wonderful. Our deck is beautifully lit now and I am very happy. While this relationship got off to a rocky start, they made it right and we will hire them again when we're ready to finish the back yard lighting. Also - the deal was supposed to be for the front of the house - but that wasn't clear when I bought the deal - so they allowed us to use our 6 lights on the deck. I'm sure they want the front so that they can show off their work - and that makes sense to me - as their work is worth showing off. I would now highly recommend this company."

"Mark and his crew did a great job adding stone to our long driveway. Mark got the right color and insured that his crew understood what I wanted done. His crew leveled the driveway wonderfully, and overall, I couldn't be happier."

"Marvin and his team were exceptionally knowledgeable, neat, creatives and punctual. Marvin was patient and a great listener. I shared my very basic ideas with him and he delivered an amazing final product! He had many suggestions that I hadn’t considered and I will be using his services again in the Spring. I found Marvin to be very fair and honest, considering he’s a one stop shop. The photos are before and after the landscape work completed by Marvin and Company. I HIGHLY recommend Marvin’s Landscaping for landscaping job!"

"I had purchased a 2-hour Big Deal from Miller & Groom back in June 2013, and it had gone well. So, when I needed some additional electrical work done, I called them again. This time, I had an exterior outlet that wasn?t working at a rental property. To make the visit worthwhile, I also wanted to address a longstanding issue of a lack of a switch to control the laundry room light, both in this rental property and in a second nearby rental property. In both laundry rooms, you had to walk into a dark room and then feel around for the pull cord hanging down from the bulb in the ceiling. I called at the end of October to make the appointment for 11 Nov 2013 at 0800. Miller & Groom showed up on time and installed the laundry room switches and wiring without incident. They also determined that the non-working exterior outlet was on the same circuit as two bathrooms with GFCI outlets. Resetting the bathroom outlets got the exterior outlet working again. The electrician also told me that the exterior light near the outlet looked pretty rusty and should probably be replaced. I paid $85.35 and $83.17 for the work at the two properties. Later that evening, the tenant with the outlet problem called me to say that when he had plugged in a floor lamp in a bedroom, sparks flew and the lamp got fried. So the next morning, on 12 Nov, I called Miller and Groom before 0800 to describe the problem and set up an appointment for them to check it out. The electrician said that he could come 13 Nov in the afternoon, but he would have to call me back with a firmer time. He left a message on my machine at 1430 for a 1600 appointment on 13 Nov. On 13 Nov I went to the rental to wait for the 1600 appointment. Fifteen minutes after the scheduled appointment, I used my emergency car cellphone to call my home answering machine and heard a recent message from the electrician, saying that they would have to reschedule. The message explained that someone on their team had been exposed to fluoride on a commercial job, and required testing and lots of paperwork. The electrician proposed rescheduling for 14 Nov from 0700-0800. I returned the call and left a message saying that that new time was ok with me. On 14 Nov at 0700, the electrician showed up and replaced the bedroom outlet. He said that he suspected that the tenant?s floor lamp may have been the cause of the problem. I was concerned that sparks flying was a safety and liability risk for me, and asked if there was something I could do to reduce the risk. The electrician recommended installing an arc-fault circuit breaker. He said that the codes in force when the house was built (in the 1980?s) didn?t require these, but house built today would have them. He estimated it would cost about $750 to upgrade. I asked if he could install on a Saturday; he said that the soonest would be 23 Nov, and that he would email me a proposal. I received the proposal the next morning at 0755 with an offer to do the work on 23 Nov. I asked if they could also install a new exterior light, which I would provide, as they had recommended. They agreed to do that at no extra cost. I printed, signed, scanned, and emailed back the proposal. On Saturday, 23 Nov, the electrician showed up at 0900. He upgraded the panel with an arc-fault circuit breaker and installed the exterior light. It?s been several months, and the tenant hasn?t complained about any more electrical problems since then.

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Harwood, MD

Permit requirements for outdoor lighting vary depending on your location and project scope. Simple fixture replacements don't require permits, but projects involving new electrical circuits, extensive trenching, or significant system expansions often do. Local building departments establish these requirements, and many professional electricians handle permit applications as part of their service package.

The timeline for outdoor lighting installation varies based on project complexity. Basic systems might require only one to two days for complete installation, while extensive lighting networks with numerous fixtures and complex wiring needs could extend to a week or longer. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and soil characteristics can all influence how quickly professionals can complete your installation.

Outdoor lighting offers both practical and aesthetic benefits that many homeowners find valuable. Beyond enhancing nighttime visibility and security, well-designed lighting can highlight architectural features and extend outdoor living hours. While installation represents a significant investment, quality lighting may potentially increase property appeal and could contribute to overall home value.

Some outdoor lighting projects are suitable for homeowner installation, particularly simple solar fixtures or low-voltage systems that plug into existing outlets. However, projects requiring new electrical connections, permanent wiring, or integration with home electrical systems demand professional expertise. Electrical work carries inherent safety risks, and improper installation could create fire hazards or code violations.

The operating cost for outdoor lighting depends primarily on your fixture types, bulb selection, and usage patterns. Energy-efficient LED fixtures consume significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen alternatives. Controlling your lighting with timers, photocells, or motion sensors can further reduce energy usage by ensuring lights operate only when needed or beneficial.
