"This is the second home that we have had American National install our sprinkler system and we have been extremely happy. They are a top notch company and handled our job with professionalism from the time they quoted through installation, taking time to understand the yard and what will provide the best results for each area. They offer great support to help owners get comfortable with using the system as well. We highly recommend their work and maintenance!"

"Dane did an amazing job. He was extremely friendly, talked through options with us for exterior lighting, gave a fair price that didn’t require haggling and came out to install the lights a couple days later. I highly recommend."

"I hired Fabian and Unique Landscaping to install a new paver patio, fire pit, seating wall, pergola, outdoor lighting, outdoor sound system, and water feature. The results exceeded my expectations. The process from beginning to end was great as Fabian had great communication throughout the project. Fabian and his crew worked hard and the results showed. I was completely satisfied with the process and end result. I highly recommend Fabian and Unique for your next hardscaping project."

"I've used Power several times in the past and had no qualms using them again. They removed an Ash tree that was right next to our fence without any damage to the fence. They took down the tree in sections and cleaned up the ground after each section. The ground was a little soft so they kept their equipment on the driveway even though we said it would be alright to drive on the yard. They walked the extra yards to avoid damaging the lawn. When they were finished you could not tell that a tree had been removed as there weren't any sticks or sawdust laying in the grass.

"Although it was a little tough to connect in the beginning (due to summer rush and holiday weekend), once Maria and I connected, things went very smoothly.
She came to my house, measured and provided a quote in a very timely manner.  
I had to go through my HOA, and she was quite helpful. Providing the drawings and contacting J.U.L.I.E. as required by the HOA (and even coming out a second time to get additional details requested by the HOA).
We had set a tentative installation date (pending HOA approval) and were lucky that the HOA approval was received in the nick of time and the weather held out.
The crew showed up on time and worked tirelessly all day to complete the job. When they ran out of bricks, they went back out to buy more.  Maria  was there the entire time overseeing the work.  At one point we had an issue with the level of the patio where the base of the steps and the side of the house were out of sync (huge downward slope).  She noted the issue and provided a sound recommendation which I approved. At the end of the day, they cleaned up the entire area.  They had carefully removed sod, mulch and some of my plants to install the brick patio and when they were done installing, they replaced the sod, mulch and even replanted my flowers.  Impressive!!  Everything washed up (even the handprints on the staircase) and clean.  They were also very careful with the surrounding area.  I live in a townhouse and they used wheel barrels to bring in all the materials.  They were careful not to destroy any of the common area.  This is a huge plus and greatly appreciated.  
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I highly recommend LDP.  I love my new patio - even though it is small, it adds a whole new room for me outdoors.  Wish I could add pictures, it turned out great!!"

"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.

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Waukegan, 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.
