"10x20 backyard patio & 2x7 walkway. Tom was very considerate and attentive when reviewing the project area and provided a reasonable estimate. Tom and his workers were extremely friendly and caring while working. Zero problems during the project and they finished the project quickly (3 days). Very happy with the results so far, if anything changes within the next 3 years, I’ll be sure to update my experience. Awesome experience, great company, and would recommend to others."

"He did an excellent job.  It turned out to be more work than originally estimated to replaced the kitchen light with 2 recessed lights.He was very professional and did outstanding work.  I would hire him in the future for any other electrical needs.

"Overall, I'm extremely impressed with LPD+Architectural Stonescapes. Ninety percent of the work was very good the first time; for the remaining part that had some problems, they returned twice more and kept after it until it was done. The bluestone repair, patching up a great big hole, is invisible. If anything, it looks better now that before the excavation. And supervisor Maria Larios was on-site taking charge of the most of the actual work, which is really rare in my experience. Thank you for excellent results.

"Initally, my husband saw a groupon with a deal for a 7KW generator issued by Adams Electrical Services and we were very excited to see such a deal offered considering generators can be very expensive. However, we were unsure about hiring this company. At the time I was not a member of Angies List but my neightbor was and she looked them up for me. Glad she did. What an outstanding group of Electrians at Adams.  We reached out to Adams Electrical Serives, and Dorian Adams (Owner) came out for a consultation and after answering numerous questions asked by yours truly, Dorian advised us that we should upgrade to a larger generator than what we purchased especially since we wanted our central air uinit on the generator too. I learned a great deal about electricity that evening and we went forward with purchasing the larger generator. On installation day, Dorian and his crew were punctual, professional and very personable.  They were even concerned about getting my carpeted basement stairs dirty and helped me cover them. Installation went smooth.  Dorian monitored his crew's work closely and even had his own post-installation checklist to esure all went as it should.  They did a very through job and cleaned up whatever mess they made too. 
I would and have recommended this company to my neighbors. 
FYI my power went out last night (7/22/14) due to lightning striking the transformer during a nasty storm.
Guess who wasn't in the dark?   Thanks again Adams Electrical Services.

"Below is my review for work done on my home a few years ago: I am a return customer of Mr. James DeLeo. I have selected him to complete multiple projects for my properties and this time I was trusting him with the huge undertaking of renovating my 1895 Chicago Row House. Once again, I was impressed with the quality workmanship and problem solving skills of Mr. DeLeo and the tradesmen that he chose to bring on as part of his team. I spent over three months working with his men on a daily basis. I opted to live in the row house while they completed an extensive renovation, so needless to say I spent a great deal of time with Mr. DeLeo and his team. I am so grateful for the hard work and vision they provided in order to shape my hopes for my home into a reality. I am thrilled with the outcome of the renovation and was very pleased with the efficient and considerate work of the men who loaned their skills to this project. The house presented some obstacles along the way, but Mr. DeLeo and his team were able to brainstorm solutions that allowed me to maintain the vision I had for my home. The estimate Chicago Pro Construction provided me at the onset of my project was honest and very reasonable. As the project progressed, he always provided me with the most cost and quality effective means to address the couple of unforeseen issues my house presented. All of the men Mr. DeLeo selected for my project were considerate and respectful. I had a dog and a cat living with me during the renovation and they even went the extra mile to make sure that my pets experienced as little stress as possible during the project. I have already recommended Chicago Pro Construction to several of my close friends who have enlisted their help in projects of their own, and would not hesitate to continue to recommend Mr. DeLeo due to his integrity in terms of business ethics as well as quality of workmanship."

"StoneMark did an amazing job installing our new patio this year. It was ultimately a smooth process from start to finish which we hadn't experience with any other contractor before. Pete was great with design ideas and layouts. Their prices are very competitive and will give you the best deal for the job. Highly recommend StoneMark with your outdoor projects as we will use them indefinitely for future work."

"Matt F. was so helpful! He came out in an emergency to fix the lock on our condo’s back gate, after someone broke in with a crowbar. He looked at it, gave us options for how to fix it, and was very quick in doing the work. Matt even left us with recommendations for how to improve the lock on that gate - switching it to a more secure type. We’re calling an HOA vote to do that work, but plan to call him back for the next job soon. Very happy with his help already, coming out at 9pm to make sure we’re safe."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Riverdale, IL

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.
