"We just bought a house in Niskayuna, NY during the sensitive time of CoVid 19. Long story short I have hired a pool company prior to contacting Aaron. The first company basically took my money and never followed through the job which was opening and maintaining a pool that was closed for over a year. They installed the ladder backwards and overcharged me for a filter and never cleaned or vacuumed it as they were supposed to. Weeks went by our pool stayed green and never cleared up. Aaron got a call from me and within an hour he showed up on my door step made an inspection of the pool before telling me what needed to be done in order to get it to a safe level to even swim in before the season is over. He used chemicals and literally stayed in touch with me over the course of 3 days. I sent him photos via text and he Communicated very well with me regarding next steps. My pool finally is open after 2 long months of me being jerked around by a well know company. Aaron is reliable and very honest. He charged a 1/3 of what the other company did. On the other hand I also found out he does other jobs too...like junk removal and is a handy man! Further more Aaron is very well connected to the contractor world and is HONEST! I even booked our pool closing and already looking at other jobs he can help me with in the house! Trust me when I tell you he has been terrific to work with and answers all questions and even answers his phone. Book him for all your home improvement needs ASAP! Tell him Jah referred you!"

"Craig did landscaping and installed a paver patio at my residence in which they did a phenomenal job. However I also had a lawn irrigation system installed which is where things went down hill. The gentlemen who installed it was friendly and on time but he installed the solenoid valve incorrectly for the drip hose on my arborvitaes. He had the on/off wires crossed. Although the system said the unit was running, no water was being supplied to them. They of course ended up dying. I thought maybe it was the soil. So I had the arborvitaes replaced by Craig for a few. These died too. Today I decided to replace the valve and that is when I discovered the solenoid wires were crossed. No testing was ever done on the irrigation system. I’m a bit disappointed in the oversight. Otherwise I do recommend this business for all other work. Stay away from lawn irrigation."

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.
