"It went great. Scott showed up at the scheduled time. He installed the circuit box, but had to come back another day to install the whole house surge protector. He was familiar with solar power and made sure we understood how to use the circuit box if the generator is used. He cleaned up after himself and was pleasant to work with."

"CMC was very communicative up front and sent Martin out within days of my request. Martin installed an electrical outlet and light with a switch in my hall closet. He also quoted prices for additional projects in the house to do at a later time. Martin was friendly and clearly explained everything he needed to do. I’ll ask for him again next time!"

"His team responded quickly to my submitted request on Angie's List, set up a date for an estimate the next day. They completed the projects in a timely manner and stayed in touch prior to the process especially regarding the rain delaying their process. Even though we had only broom concrete installed, they took their time and didn't rush. They made sure everything was to perfection and smooth. The team is very friendly. I would definitely have them out again for any future concrete needs we may have. They are dedicated and committed to making sure the customer is happy and informed during the process."

"Instead of being two hours of service, they announced to me when they arrived at our house that it was actually one hour with two people; I wish they would have told us that in advance and we would have planned differently.  And in that one hour, one guy stood around watching/directing the other guy to do the work (I didn't see him actually do anything in the hour), and so we do not feel that we got what we paid for.  On top of that, they botched the wiring, with no offer to stay or come back to fix it, so we had to pay someone else to come and do it. The guys, however, were friendly and gave us some useful advice on some lighting design, and they did not leave a mess from their service.

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Wake Forest, NC

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.
