Completing a home project can seem daunting for many homeowners, especially when work and other personal responsibilities are overloading your calendar. Perhaps you’ve decided that the best route to take for your landscape lighting system would be to have a professional complete the design and installation. Where do you begin? There are plenty of companies offering these services and you want only the best for your property.
1. A Company With Appropriate Certifications and Accreditation
It’s understandable if you’re unfamiliar with the types of credibility needed for a landscape lighting company. A reputable company will have a lighting designer on staff that has both education and experience in designing landscape lighting systems. The company should be affiliated with the AOLP or the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals. You will want to be sure that the team handling your project also has COLD certification (Certified Outdoor Lighting Designer.)
2. A Company That Provides Maintenance on Their Systems
When selecting a company that will handle your outdoor lighting project, you’ll want to be sure to choose one that stands behind their work and doesn’t have anything to hide. These companies will service their systems long after the installation is complete. Prestige Outdoor Lighting offers our customers the option to have semi-annual maintenance done to proactively ensure their systems are lasting as long as possible. We also handle service calls as needed for our customers.
3. A Company With Timely Installation and Availability
If you want your lighting project done now, it’s safe to say you don’t want to be waiting until the winter to get on the calendar. To have a reputable company complete the install, you may have to wait a matter of days or weeks depending on the season and their current projects booked. But, a good landscape lighting company will be upfront with you about their availability and when they can get you scheduled on the calendar. They will remain in touch regarding your project and will not leave you wondering where they are on your scheduled install date or continually reschedule you, pushing the project out. Asking for a company’s availability to complete your project is a reasonable question to ask before signing your contract.
4. A Company With a Trusted Reputation and Reviews
If you’re in the process of making your decision on who to go with for your landscape lighting, check out the company’s reviews online. There are several sites where you can do so such as Facebook, Google, Houzz and more. A reputable company will have primarily 5-star reviews from a variety of customers. They may also have been recognized for local awards in the community. Prestige Outdoor Lighting has been the proud recipient of many awards throughout the years of serving the coastal Carolina community, most recently the 2019 Excellence in Small Business Award from the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce.
