Chris turned my backyard from darkness to a magical whimsical setting. He was very professional, always stayed in communication and was on the scene making sure everything was done correctly. What was most important to me? Is that the lighting products and quality were high caliber. Will definitely be using him again. Thank you, Chris! read more

SCAM ALERT! Chris Voigt seems like a nice enough guy. And his website shows good work. But BUYER BEWARE! Once you pay this guy, if something goes wrong, don't expect to ever see him again. The job was to wrap seven trees in my back yard with small lights (like some people do at Christmas time, but for year-round.) Electrical was already installed from years earlier, so no wiring involved. Plus, I wanted similar lights wrapped around a patio railing in my back yard, and plugged into an electrical outlet already installed at the base of the railing, on a separate timer from the trees. The estimate came in at $2,000. I had received a lower bid from another company, but went with Chris, as I trusted him. Big mistake! On Saturday, June 27, he confirmed that he had enough wire to do the job, so we scheduled for that day. His guys came and did the job. For some reason they took the old bulbs and wire (lots of it) from a previous job, and threw it all in the green compost bin, instead of the black bin. Not a huge deal, but I told Chris to have someone come by and fetch it out, which he did. A bigger problem was that, on one of the trees, the bulbs did not go as far up the branches as we had agreed. Also, the electrical wire for the rails was run all the way across my back yard, under small landscaping stones, rather than using the outlet right next to the rails. I told Chris that day that I wanted the lights brought up to the level we agreed upon, and wanted the rail lights re-wired to the correct outlet. His answer was "not a problem," saying they didn't have enough brown wire to complete the job that day, but they'd be by later that week to finish the job. (I had already paid for it and tipped $50.) But instead of returning later in the week, Chris then texted he'd was going out of town, but would get back to me the following week. Then, the disappearing act began. I texted him again on July 13, more than two weeks after the installation. His answer was that it was a short week, but that the work would be completed Monday or Tuesday of "next week." Then nothing. I texted on Monday (July 20), asking how we were looking. No response. Three hours later, I texted again. Now he told me "Thursday." I asked him "What time?" since I had to plan to be home. No answer. Five hours later, I asked again. No answer. On Thursday, I asked him what time I should expect them. No answer. They never showed. (I had paid an assistant to stay at the house that morning, as I had to be elsewhere. Another $44.) On Friday, I texted him that I was preparing my on-line review of his company. That seemed to get his attention. He texted me that he was in Phoenix because of a death in the family and would be back on Sunday. On Monday (Aug. 3), he said they'd be returning on Thursday. I asked what time. No response. On Wednesday, I asked again about arrival time. He responded "Mid-morning" but one of his guys was sick, so they might have to reschedule. I said I'd need a confirmation by that afternoon. No response. I texted again that evening. Chris said they'd have to reschedule. Now he set it for the following Thursday, August 13, between 8 & 9AM. I texted him on Wednesday evening, telling him I was expecting his guys in the morning between 8 & 9. He texted back, saying it would be between 9:30 & 10AM. Then texted later, saying it would have to be "early the next morning" (Thursday). I texted twice the next morning (8:22 & 9:25) asking him what time they were coming. He wrote back saying he was "getting ahold of his guys." I told him if the work wasn't done that day, forget it, and the review would go up Monday night. Unlike Chris, I'm good for my word. So, here's my review: AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! Chris said the work would be completed the week of June 29, and after chasing him for the next eight weeks, all I get are excuses, broken promises, and an incomplete job. Don't let Chris' friendly demeanor fool you. He's either a con man of the first order, or simply entirely unreliable and unprofessional Either way, look elsewhere. P.S: Chris' reply below is untruthful. The job was NOT completed, as agreed. He told me the reason the lights didn't go high enough was that they ran out of wire (poor planning). The wrap on the bannister was always part of the job (on the quote: "Wrapping Railing included"), and I specifically told him NOT to run wire to the far outlet, but use the outlet right at the railing. A vague explanation of "scheduling and family issues" buys you maybe one or two broken appointments. But reading my review, I lost count at nine. He promised to be back "later that week," and two months later, I was still chasing him, and he's STILL making excuses. If he resents being called a "scam artist," he should stop acting like one. No excuses for this botch job. read more

Chris, the owner went out of his way to make sure all lights installed were perfect for my New Year's Eve this past year. It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of working with someone who truly stands by the motto "customer knows best". I hired Elegant Outdoor Lights to install chandeliers to a 100 ft tall tree in my backyard and a smaller tree next to my driveway, as well as small "winkle" lights to the entire hedge, and several olive trees throughout my backyard and front yard. They completed the job twice only to discover that the lights given to them by the manufacturers were again, not the color I requested. His team came out a third time and did it again until the color I wanted was installed. There was no arguing on his part. He just wanted his customer to be happy with the outcome. And I am. The lights are still up held up well during wind storms, a testament, I think, to their quality work. Chris and his team are trust worthy, timely, and cost effective. They went out of their way to ensure I got exactly what I asked for. With his suggestions, the lights and my outdoor space look exactly the way I hoped they would. I will definitely hire them again. read more

Chris canceled at the moment he was supposed to arrive for installation. He did not even provide the light fixtures so that I could have them installed by someone else. I was completely left in a bind before a big event. Consider other options. read more

My neighbor just knocked on my door and stated that the Christmas lights on the house, tree trunk, hedges, and shrubs has put the whole street in the Holiday spirit.

Great service! Very communicative. And my backyard looks amazing. The crew showed up at the appointed time & Chris, the owner, kept checking in. Everything was done in 1 day.

I'm so glad I hired Chris for our string lights project. My space had several challenges that Chris and his team addressed flawlessly. The patio cover is made from aluminum, so excessive drilling was a problem, as was heavy objects exerting shear forces. In addition the patio cover is wrapped around a balcony. As much as I would've liked to, this was not a project I could DIY with lights from Costco. From the initial FaceTime, to the first site visit, I knew that Chris was not only knowledgeable but just as importantly, he was invested in the overall success of my project. He made helpful suggestions as we figured out a plan, while never saying anything was impossible. When there was a delay that was out of his control, he exhibited great customer service in resolving the situation. Our project involved trenching 6 feet to bury a 21 foot pole in concrete, and attaching three lines to the patio cover, where we also added lights. The patio cover and backyard extension are zoned separately, allowing us to control one or both. Everything works perfectly and these lights have had an outsized impact on our backyard. I hope you won't hesitate in giving Chris a shot. read more

I rarely hire someone who either hasn't been referred to me or doesn't have any reviews. I stumbled upon Elegant outdoor Lighting by googling String Lights. I was having an event for my birthday and really wanted a permanent installation of String Lights in my backyard. I briefly spoke with Chris and he said he would come out to my home and take a look and see what he could do for me. There was something about his personality and professionalism that allowed me to trust that he would do the job right for me. We talked about the different options I had for arranging the string lights and in the end when I came up with my own idea, he had a can-do attitude and delivered exactly what I had envisioned. His price was very reasonable, and he was able to do it on short notice and completed the job in two days. My favorite part is that the lights are on an easy app and can be turned on and dimmed with the tap of a finger. I took a chance on Elegant Outdoor Lights because of Chris and I'm so glad I did. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs any lighting work done on their property. read more

Last weekend we called Chris the owner of Elegant lights and told him we needed to have our entire backyard lit up. A canopy of lights in our backyard, our carport completely lit up, four large palm trees and two small palms. He came over within 2 hours. Sourced all the materials and had a quote by that night. And four days later transformed our backyard into a starlit oasis. Before going with him, I checked his quote with my Interior Designer who assured me his prices were very competitive. We are having a party in two weeks so we needed it done right away. He and his crew were phenomenal! Would recommend him in a heartbeat! Service and quality like that are very hard to find! read more
