Josh came out and looked at the property and submitted a design and some fixture suggestions that we went with. Josh and his crew of Chris and Shawn showed up exactly on time and got right after the work. Very professional and attentive to the details. All of the path lights were plumbed perfectly and they corrected some mistakes on the original exterior light boxes so everything was nice and flush with the house. We are delighted with the results and have no hesitation in recommending Outdoor Lighting Perspectives.

From my experience Color World in Austin just acts as a marketer. They have a nice website that…read morewould lead you to believe they are a professional painting contractor. Once hired, they farmed off the work to an unqualified "independent contractor" in an uncoordinated fashion and did not oversee the contractor's work. I don't hold anything against the painter, Daniel, he's just trying to put food on the table for his family. However, he did not have the correct equipment, did not seem to have the skill set for the work, did not understand the scope of work, and did not understand what Color World's obligations were under the contract. We contacted Color World for a small exterior paint job based upon their website and reviews. We had cracks in the exterior stucco and needed these sealed and painted over. However, it was very high up and difficult to place a ladder. My yard crew offered to do it for $50, if I allowed them to use my 36 foot ladder. However, I was worried about the safety of working at that height and was willing to pay to have the work done safely and professionally with appropriate equipment. A company rep came out to look at the job. His name was Joseph. He was a nice gregarious guy. I guess it's possible he had a fundamental understanding of painting, but if so, he did not bother to share any of it. He seemed more a sales type, took some pictures, and provided a quote of $2,000. When asked why the bid was so high, Joseph claimed that was the company minimum and they would not take a job for less. To make it more cost effective we added painting for a large garage door and frame. The total was then $2,800. The Color World contract states they will provide all equipment and materials, do appropriate surface prep, and clean up after each day's work. For me, the only surface prep done was spraying the garage door with a pressure washer. No wire brush was used and no sanding was done. All of the paint chips removed by the washer were left on the drive overnight, after which they dried and blew all over the yard. Daniel's ladder could not have been more than 32 feet - well short of what was needed. He balanced it on the edge of a retaining wall, had his daughter try to hold it from the bottom and then stood at the very top. Incredibly unsafe. He then tried to paint it from the roof. I had specifically requested no use of the roof as I had recently been coated. The painter probably spent at most 10 hours at the house over 2 and a half days for a $2,800 job. Less than two hours on the part of the job originally bid for $2,000. Then he said he was finished. The casing around the garage door had clearly only received one coat of paint, which did not adequate cover, and the stucco paint still had visible unsealed gaps. Joseph came over to inspect the work and said it looked good to him. I showed him what I thought was unacceptable and described Daniel not having the equipment needed to do the job correctly and safely. I told him at a minimum there needed to be another coat on the door casing and that someone needed to come with the correct equipment to do the stucco job correctly and safely. Daniel came back over the weekend with his daughter and asked to use my ladder. I reluctantly provided it in an effort to get the job done, but he did exactly the same thing with the same ladder my yard crew had offered to do for $50. It seems to me like Color World is just fronting bids for what they think they can get, then leveraging unskilled immigrant crafts people to do the work as independent contractors. With this structure Color World would not have to buy any equipment, hire any employees, pay any benefits, or be responsible for safe work practices. It also allows them to blame any customer dissatisfaction on the subcontractor. If I was not concerned they would just screw the contractor; I would not have paid for this work.

Joe came out to quote very quickly. I knew it was going to be a lot of work removing the metal, then putting in dryway, texture, paint.

They were quick in their response, giving an estimate and actually installing all the lights the next day itself. It was a wonderful experience working with Sarah, she carefully listened to our requirements, explained to us the whole process, gave recommendations for our house and drew a whole blueprint of our roofline lights too. The only improvement or future suggestion there could be is - If only the bulbs were a little denser, specially in the roofline, it would be AMAZING! We look forward to many more years of lights with Got Lights! I highly recommend Sarah and Got Lights Team!

He knew our budget to stay below 5 digits but was persistent in lighting up the entire front and backyard with no regards to budget. He honestly looked like a kid at a candy store making notes on how much lights he was going to put up. The next day, we decided to contact him to cancel the free display for the sake of not wasting his time. A week later, we decided to reach out to him and decided we had enough budget to do only the front. His response/behavior was very unprofessional. We called and he sent us straight to voicemail. He displayed immature behavior and decided leave our text messages as "read." He behaves like a toddler and upset that we canceled the first time. There's more lighting companies out there that are more professional. Don't waste your time, look elsewhere. P.S. Message was read Monday morning and gave time to respond until end of day 6 PM before posting the review. He read it early Monday morning and left my message on "read." Only reason why he responded is because he saw the review.
