"Walter and his crew did an excellent job completely relandscaping my yard from the ground up. They ground a stump, did the grading, installed retaining walls and underground drainage, installed sod, planted all kinds plants, and laid boulders, gravel and pavers. They also built two giant brick walls that collectively stretched about half an acre. They were professional, respectful, responsive, kind and they showed up when they said they would. A couple times mistakes were made because of me and they corrected it and didn’t charge me. Overall, we received a great value for the price we paid and we highly recommend their services."

"Very well. I needed more light in the bedroom plus the fan. I also asked the electrician about installing a fan on my back patio. He was very good explaining the best way to do it. Gave me a price range and overall very knowledgeable."

"Contractor keep appointment (even though there were 2 or 3 calls expressing confusion about time and day); installed the drywall and cleaned the area.   The drywall installation was not smooth and when textured looked amateurish at best.  Before I could paint I had to sand several areas and apply canned texture-not the most professional look but time was a factor.  the next time the wall is painted will require extensive prep work to make it look professional.
Good things: appointment keep; work was done as explained; no extra charges.
Not so good: Technician was not a drywall guy.

"Jon arrived promptly.  I had bought different switches than those that came with the fans (light plus fan speed on a single switch), but Jon kindly pointed out I didn't need them as I could re-use one of the old light switches for the light and use the packaged fan speed switches.  He also pointed out that the included light bulb was a bit dim, but that I could upgrade it as long as it met the power requirement and fit within the enclosure.
The installations went smoothly and quickly.  Jon even discovered a wiring issue in one of my receptacles where there was a knick in the wire (likely when the house was built).  He fixed it up, likely preventing a potential fire hazard!  Fans are perfectly balanced and look great.
I highly recommend Jon and Advanced Electrical Services.

"Jorge and his helper arrived 10 minutes early to their scheduled time. They both spoke with me about my list and what was the most important to get done. Before starting in the hedge Jorge explained that it would look verybare once it was taken so far down. I agreed that was the result and gave the OK to trim that much. They checked with me twice as the hedge was trimmed to ensure it met my expectations. They cleared out a medium sized pile of brush from an earlier tree trimming project done by others. They cleaned up several large drifts of fallen leaves. For a reasonable additional price they hauled away the leaves, trimmings and branches. There was time left to have them dig out two small volunteer trees that were not desired. I was impressed enough by both Jorge's work ethic and his communication style to ask him to design and bid on an upcoming landscape project in the back yard.

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Santa Fe, NM

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.
