What Menlo homeowners say.
"Free design wasn't a sales pitch — it was a real plan. We added two more zones the following year and it integrated seamlessly."
"Architect-quality up-lighting on our stone façade. Neighbors keep asking who did it."
"Brass fixtures look incredible a couple years in — patina is even and the finish hasn't peeled anywhere. Worth every penny over the plastic ones we had before."

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501How long does installation take?+
A standard residential install in 50164 takes 1–2 days. Larger architectural projects with permanent holiday lighting can take 3–4 days. We schedule around your weather window.
02What's the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage?+
Low-voltage (12V) is what we install for landscape and accent lighting in Menlo — safer, more flexible, and easier to expand. Line-voltage (120V) is for permanent architectural work and we handle that with proper permits in IA.
03Are permits required?+
Low-voltage landscape lighting in IA generally does not require a permit. Line-voltage exterior circuits and any new sub-panel work do — we pull those when needed and coordinate with the inspector.
04What kind of fixtures do you install?+
Solid brass and copper, exclusively. Painted aluminum and plastic fixtures don't make it onto our trucks in Menlo — they don't last long enough to warrant our labor.
