The project involved redesigning the track light system to gain a better aesthetic, provide more light where needed, and to still have the lighting disappear. Also needed to find interesting pendants for the dining area. Sheryl's proposal, expertise, and ideas were far superior to others I received, and really addressed all my competing concerns. She was also very responsive, and I really appreciated the high level of engagement, can-do attitude, and problem solving acumen.

Sheryl totally helped us solve our lighting needs. We needed help updating our kitchen and dining room, away from halogen towards LED. We now have properly dimmable lighting that will save $$$ over time b/c they are LED. Most importantly, the lights make sense and highlight that which we want in the spaces. We're so grateful. We highly recommend her.

We hired Sheryl to help with adding some lighting as a part of a whole house re-wire (removing knob and tube) and we are SO GLAD that we did. It was immediately obvious that Sheryl is an expert in her field. She honed in on the areas that mattered, diving into details that were specific and unique to our space. For the more standard rooms she was able to provide specific direction quickly and efficiently. Her recommendations were very non obvious to me (a person previously ignorant to lighting design) but after she laid out the plan we are super excited by it.
The best part of working with Sheryl is how incredibly flexible she was with the engagement. We paid a reasonable fee for an initial consultation out of which she gave us specific direction and recommendations for each room. We had enough information from that meeting to buy lights and communicate with our electrician on our own or we could further engage Sheryl to create a detailed plan, purchase the lights for us, etc. There was no pressure or upselling during our consultation whatsoever, just fantastic and detailed recommendations. We decided to purchase our lighting through Sheryl as she has access to the best brands and the experience to sort through the mind numbing amount of choices for recessed lighting.
I wish everything with home renovation was this easy and satisfying as this. I won't ever again install lighting without hiring Sheryl.

Working with Sheryl was a pleasure start to finish. During our two hour consultation, she drafted a lighting plan for our living room, two bedrooms, and bathroom, which I was able to share with an electrician for installation. The process saved me countless hours of research -- after 2+ hours Googling beam angle, percent dimmability, switch compatibility, color temperature, spacing, etc., I gathered that online resources are limited, and lighting is both an art and a science. Sheryl considered our furniture and art layout, fixtures (working around a sprinkler system), and needs based on activity/times of use. Her design was stunning, the lighting fixtures that she recommended beyond expectations. I am an avid DIYer, but I value my time and effort -- I know when to hire an expert. Sheryl is knowledgeable, professional, and responsive, following up during and after installation. I highly recommend her services.

Sheryl is a fantastic lighting consultant! She was helpful and reliable every step of the way -- she's detailed-oriented, has a great eye for design, is super well organized, and always followed up to make sure things were going well. I'd definitely use Sheryl again for future lighting needs!

I was fortunate to find Sheryl Klein by recommendation from another professional; a paint color specialist. My goal was to update lighting in a few bathrooms, though I didn't appreciate what wonderful options are available in modern LED lighting. After working with Sheryl and her team, including electrician Francisco, my home was beautifully transformed in ways that I wouldn't have imagined! I also appreciate how Sheryl stayed in touch and focused on making sure everything worked from the beginning of the project until it was complete. The lighting upgrades have truly changed my enjoyment of my home and I am grateful.

We had lived for over 30 years in our craftsman style home but never had adequate lighting in the large living room. We found Sheryl based on other favorable reviews and had her come out for a design consultation.She spent a couple of hours in consultation with us and provided a great design layout and fixture specifications for new recessed lighting. We worked with an electrician recommended by Sheryl and the end result of our project looks great! We couldn’t be more pleased.

Sheryl helped us put into lighting in multiple bedrooms, deck, stairs and a cool living room monorail of a house we just moved into! She has an amazing eye for design, and took the time to get to know our desires and expectations. She left us with details drawings of the design. Helped us pick out the right hardware. She even helped order materials and recommended an electrician. Get service and care from start to finish!

Sheryl was wonderful in helping us select the lighting for our remodeled guest bathroom. She was extremely generous with her time and ideas and always made herself available for phone calls after her initial visit. I look forward to working with her again as we move forward in remodeling the rest of our home. Linda Obrand

I wanted to install ceiling lights that would show off the art in my loft as well as install string lights for my balcony, only I know little about lighting selection, and Sheryl took all the headaches out of that for me. I'm really happy with how both came out. Thanks!

We would have been completely lost without Sheryl's help. Remodeling can be crazy, and trying to decide where/how much lighting is needed is not an easy task. Sheryl took into account our budget and lit our rooms beautifully. We love the recessed lighting she chose in our kitchen, family room, and great room. She was very accessible and communicative. She made us feel like we were her only clients :) Thank you Sheryl!

Sheryl was fantastic. I needed expert help on lighting the exterior of our house (both front and back).
She came out and consulted with me taking a lot of time answering all of my questions and providing her opinion based on her experience and past projects.
She then recommended certain light fixtures and lighting as well as an electrician.
The project is done and the lights look fantastic! The curb appeal of our house has been greatly increased.
You won't regret choosing Sheryl for any of your lighting needs!
