I am very satisfied with the work they did at my house. **★★★★★ — Thomas Higdon, Oct. 2017** > Quality estimate, detailed and delivered quickly. Electricians sent to do work were careful to prep area and completed work without issue. I'm very happy with my new art and exterior lighting. **Comment from Illuminations Lighting Design:** > Thank you Thomas for the nice review. Enjoy your new lighting! **★★★★★ — Jan Pasternak, Aug. 2017** > A friend who used Illuminations Lighting Design recommended this company. > My wife and I were extremely satisfied with their work and every aspect of this company, from the head guy, Tom, to his workers, to the quality of the lights to the knowledge of the product. **Comment from Illuminations Lighting Design:** > Thanks Jan & Rene. It was a pleasure upgrading you lighting and doing what we love to do. Make people happy! **★★★★★ — Jason Norwood, May 2017** > We live in a high rise apartment with a 1,500 sq/ft terrace. Illuminations Lighting Design produced an outstanding design that lit several trees and a 50-ft wall without violating the HSA restrictions. The result is amazing, and we could not be happier. The people were a joy to work with and professional to a man. Perfect design. Perfect installation. Perfect company. Five stars. **Comment from Illuminations Lighting Design:** > Thanks Jason, Your patio is definitely a unique space and coming up with an effective and practical design was our pleasure. I think the decorative lanterns you picked out worked perfectly and were a very nice addition to the overall lighting design. Thank you for your business! **★★★★★ — Patricia Hammond, May 2017** > Our house looks fantastic! The new outdoor lighting has enhanced it so much. Illuminations was efficient and professional -- I can't even see where they buried the electrical work. Great job! **★★★★★ — O. Russell Worley Inc. / Architects, March 2017** > Illuminations Lighting Design 'greatly enhanced' our home exterior gardens and landscaping with their very professional accent lighting.....They made it perfect for all to enjoy. Also, as an architect my firm has used their lighting design services on numerous residential projects (both exterior and interior) and consider them to be the best available. **★★★★★ — Debbie GARY, March 2017** > Illuminations added in-ceiling spotlights for the paintings on my walls and the effects are magnificent. It thrills me to look at them. The men who did the work were efficient, cooperative and tidy. I am thrilled with the results. **Comment from Illuminations Lighting Design:** > Thanks Debbie for allowing us to light your beautiful art collection. We appreciate your business and the kind review. **★★★★★ — Neice Lang, March 2017** > Once again, Tom and his team at Illuminations Lighting Design have done an outstanding job! They turned our cave-like study with dark wood and minimal lighting into a showpiece. By adding additional ceiling lights to highlight the artwork on the walls, a soft overhead task light for working at the desk, and bookshelf lighting that is just beautiful, we now love this room. Tom and his team did something very similar in the living area of our former home and it made all the difference. I highly recommend these professionals! **Comment from Illuminations Lighting Design:** > Glad we were able to transform your husband's study. I am not sure how he worked in there before we added the new lighting. Thanks again for your continued patronage. **★★★★★ — Bryn Larsen, Oct. 2016** > The Illuminations team did beautiful work in my home, lighting my art collection to perfection and adding adjustable and beautiful lighting throughout the house. I moved into a builder's spec house and asked the builder at the time to add specific spot lights--and was told it could not be done without opening up the ceiling and at major expense. The builder added spots to the overhead switches, but you could never select one or the other because they were connected. I declined to open up the ceilings and was afraid of the expense and mess of the project. However, when I inquired with Illuminations about whether they could make that change, they said "no problem!" Moreover, the job was completed quickly and easily--no ceiling repair. Goes to show you that the experts know what they are doing and can get the job done right--I wish I had asked them first! I highly recommend them--particularly if you have art to showcase--they did a beautiful job that has added ambience and atmosphere throughout the house. **Comment from Illuminations Lighting Design:** > Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to illuminate your beautiful art collection. It has been a pleasure serving you and look forward to assisting you in the near future. **★★★★★ — Olga Kramar, Aug. 2016** > Illuminations did a fantastic job on our landscape lighting both front and back. Their design and execution far exceeded our expectations. They had ideas i never would have thought of that turned our outdoor spaces into elegant nighttime scenery, viewed from both outdoors and indoors. Of all the contractors we've worked with in various trades, this is one that stands out in every way. Illuminations also did electrical work for us, including some that required carpentry, replacing builder-grade exhaust fans, and again, flawless! I recommend Illuminations to anyone thinking about landscape lighting or even regular electrical work. **★★★★★ — cpeckham63, Aug. 2016** > I have used Illuminations on several projects in our present and prior home. I have no doubt that the ambiance created at our old home was the reason we were able to command the price we did on its sale. Quite a return on the dollar. > > In our new home, we had Illuminations do lights in our trees for aesthetic and security purposes. They also designed the lighting for our kitchen expansion. We could not be happier. We like the personal attention to detail, the budget process from the outset so there are no surprises, the ability to be flexible when we wanted changes, and the amazing final result. Putting in lighting is technical; but the folks at Illuminations are artists. Thanks to Tom and all the staff at Illuminations. They have our highest recommendation! **Comment from Illuminations Lighting Design:** > Thank you for the fine review and your continued business! **★★★★★ — Not GivingMyName, July 2016** > In April I did renovations on a condo before moving into the unit in May. One of the major problems with the condo was the lighting. It was truly awful -- glaring halogen track lighting in the kitchen and single overhead light sources in all of the other rooms. The work that Illuminations Lighting Design did for me has completely transformed the space. Tom came over to do the consultation and then designed a new lighting plan. I now have under counter lighting throughout the kitchen, and recessed LED ceiling lights (all on dimmers) in the kitchen, living room, dining room, and both bedrooms. In addition, we have alcove lighting in the bedrooms and living space. The difference is extraordinary -- like a different space altogether. My renovation work on this project was extensive -- new flooring and redesigned bathrooms. But with all of the work I had done -- this was the single most important aspect. > > I also want to say that my experience with the Illuminations company was great. They started and finished the project on time, and they were very careful with my new hardwood floor -- which I greatly appreciated. I definitely recommend this company.
