EXCELLENT Based on 25 reviews Posted on John RekersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We decided recently to install tree/landscape lighting throughout our yard, although we had little experience with how to do this and didn't know exactly what we wanted. A neighbor of ours had recently done a similar thing and highly recommended Mike Klepfer and his company Outdoor Lighting Experts. Mike was responsive in quickly providing a preliminary idea of an overall plan, along with portable test lights that we could try out to get an idea of what we might want. We experimented for a few days with these lights, helping us to decide (with Mike's input) exactly what we wanted. We were very satisfied with the estimate. Mike also connected us with a professional electrician to install outdoor outlets we would need for the low voltage lightening controls. The work was completed in a timely and professional manner. It looks absolutely great! We are very happy with our experience with Mike and Outdoor Lighting Experts, and give our unqualified recommendation.Posted on Shannon SportsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Mike and his team did an excellent job. It turns out our existing lighting setup was not ideal and required an overhaul. Mike's recommendations were spot-on and just what we needed. We also asked for a special set-up with our Control 4 system which he was able to accommodate. Everything from start to finish was professional. Highly recommended.Posted on Greg GunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently worked with Mike from Outdoor Lighting Experts and couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. From the very first interaction, Mike was timely, friendly, and highly professional. His knowledge of lighting design and installation was evident from the start, and he took the time to understand our vision while offering thoughtful suggestions to enhance the final result. The installation was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail. Mike was respectful of our property, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The follow-up after the project was equally impressive—Mike made sure we were happy with the results and even made a few small adjustments to ensure everything was perfect. On top of all that, the pricing was very competitive for the quality of service and expertise we received. We highly recommend Outdoor Lighting Experts and would not hesitate to work with Mike again. An all-around outstanding experience!Posted on James ConwayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Very pleased with the work Mike did lighting up the front walk and driveway of our house, which was totally dark other than porch lights, and repairing some older fixtures that were causing problems. He listened closely, had helpful ideas and suggestions, did a great job clearly estimating and scheduling, and got everything installed just as promised. Excellent experience, and I am already thinking about future lighting projects!Posted on Thomas CreechTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great work!
