Default Outdoor Lighting Companies - Suggestions?

I am need to have my whole house done, both the front and the backyard. I can check Angies list but I have had some "good" review people work with us that aren't so much good.

Looking to see what people have had done and who they used. I do not want to use someone's Uncle Roy that does it on the side. I want to have a company that has been around for awhile and will stick behind their product.

I'll post some pics up later of the area's that would need to be lit.

Thanks!
Chris

Ask some your rich neighbors who already have outdoor lighting.

CP, there is a company off 2351 by Clear Brook HS that sells all the lighting and sprinkler systems. I went in and bought all my lights/transformers/wiring etc and saved right at $2000 purchasing it thru them. They gave me the contactor discount since I bought so much. I then used my electrician on the side to do all the wiring of the transformers and running wire to all the lights in the beds. He charged me $1200 for the 3 days that he was there. I would highly recommend you buy the stuff yourself and get someone to do it, you wont be sorry.

Call around to some local home builders and find out who they use.

X2, Call RC...

BTW, be up front about how you want it done. most electrical companies are going to try to run the conduit on the outside walls. Make them run the wiring in the attic, it makes everything look a lot cleaner.

I had used a company called the Perfect light.

http://www.theperfectlight.com/default.html

They are a bit pricey, but very professional, did a excellent job.
