4 Questions to Ask When Hiring a Landscape Lighting Professional
When investing in your home, only the best will do. When you decide to add landscape lighting to your home’s exterior, hiring a professional landscape lighting company is essential. Not only will you be getting a professional designer to work within your budget, but you will have peace of mind that the fixtures, equipment, and installation are top quality. There are several things a homeowner should look at before deciding on who to hire for the job. Here are a few important questions to ask.
Are You Licensed?
First, you should find out if the company is insured and licensed. By not verifying this information first, you can create a much larger issue in the future, such as being held liable for damage or accidents on your property. Ask for proof of their workers’ compensation, liability insurance, and business license before you agree to any services.
How Long Have You Been in Business?
This may be an obvious question, but it is one people often overlook. A landscape lighting company with years of experience will better understand how to illuminate your property to create the desired effect. Knowing what to light outdoors, which fixtures to use, and how to light for beauty and security takes education, expertise, and experience. Having a professional work with you to plan your outdoor lighting system will ensure the end product is one you will love.
How Long Will Installation Take?
As with any home improvement project, you will want to know how long installation will take. Any experienced professional should have a good idea of how long each phase should be. Installation can also be weather-dependent, so it is important to know that any timeline given will be a rough estimate. We often install certain system parts during different phases of the building process to allow for more design options.
Do You Provide Maintenance Services?
Even the best outdoor lighting systems will require maintenance. Having it done regularly will help ensure its continued functionality and reliability year after year. Not only is design important when hiring an outdoor lighting company, but their ability to provide maintenance services and tend to potential repairs is essential. Hiring a company that does both avoids time spent searching for a company that can service your system when you need maintenance or repairs.
