My husband and I cannot praise Nick and Jerry enough for their beautiful, affordable work. Our newly installed ~50 LED recessed lighting now makes the whole house look brighter and bigger. Not only did they cover the entire work area to prevent any household damages, but they also returned all of our furniture and items to its original location after the completion of their work. The installment of our kitchen island lights and recessed lighting throughout our entire home spanned a few days. At the last minute, I requested a light outlet installed in our master bathroom but Nick did not have time to spare that day. We weren't expecting him to give us a call back to complete my last minute request but we were pleasantly surprised when he remembered and squeezed us in the following weekend for the small project work. An extra thumbs up that they were able to fix the damaged island lights we received from Wayfair. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Nick and Jerry for any household lighting installments! read more

This the third time I've hired Nick and Jerry for our recess lighting installation. Just like last time, responsive, friendly! Upfront pricing, best price found around south OC. Great workmanship on light installations and wiring. Awesome patching and textures on the wall and the only thing needed is paint it once dry. Well protected work area with throughout cleanup. Highly recommend! read more

Friggin' amazing job. I was hesitant at first because the price he quoted me was almost 1/4 the price of my other estimate from a competitor (as if there was a catch). Nick installed 17 recessed lights with Philips Hue smart bulbs (I'm so fancy now) + (2) 120 volt outlets above my kitchen cabinets to power LED strips in my 1,100 sq ft. condo. He started the job within 2 days of my initial call and him + 1 assistant completed everything in a day and a half. I recommend him not just because of the good price and quality but also taking the time to explain important aspects such as why certain placement I requested needed to be altered due to fire sprinkler pipes located in the ceiling being in the way. read more

Can't comment on the quality of their work, because he wouldn't schedule an appointment with me. I think the reason was the job was too small. Then after "still working on getting squeezed in" I never heard back. After that I contacted someone else and got my ceiling fan installed same day and it took 20 minutes. Could have just told me you're not available and I wouldn't be writing this review. read more

Nick was 10 minutes early to our appointment (ceiling fan installation) and was very professional! all in all the job was well done, clean, and now my room stays cool in this heat! i made the mistake of assembling my fan prior, thinking i would save them some trouble and time, but i ended up making it more difficult by doing so. He was totally cool about it, but just a heads up to those of you who are going to have a new ceiling fan installed, don't assemble it and just let them take care of it lol all in all i am very satisfied with the job and quality of work done. especially for the price! i called at least 10-12 different places and nick had the best rates as well as the best availability. I would highly recomend you guys book him for your electrical needs! read more

I found Simply Lights and Fans (Nick & Gerry) to be the "Gold-Standard" model for how ALL great contractors in America should operate. From the minute I began communicating with Nick via text messaging (which is my preferred method of communication) I was immediately impressed by how pleasant, responsive, and articulate he was about answering all my questions, very honestly and clearly. After scheduling the work with Nick, he and Gerry showed up on time and began the job by professionally covering everything in house in the area where they would be working to ensure that the house stayed clean during and after construction is completed. They then proceeded by placing stickers on the ceiling showing the proposed layout of the can lights so that there are no surprises of the light fixtures' locations after they've drilled holes in your ceiling and have it be too late to make changes. One of the many things I loved about working with Nick is that while he'll install what you ask him to and where you want them to etc., he'll all also gladly & politely give you his opinion on items you want his guidance on. t On things like how to layout the lights, how many lights to install each area, which lights color temperature to go with or lumen power etc., and his expert opinions were very helpful to me in making my decisions. I think Nick is very successful because he's taken a very smart approach that the sharp & popular contractors take, do what you're good at, do it very well, treat customers right and they'll always refer their family and friends to you which is what I've done since Nick did work at my home and I'll continuing referring family, friends and co-workers to him. Keep up the great work Nick. read more

I just moved to a new house and needed recessed lights to be installed in our master bedroom and guest rooms. We called around to get estimates and Nick offered us the best pricing by far! He was also very responsive and we were able to get an appointment with him the very same week we called. We had a total of 12 lights installed in three rooms and Nick and his assistant were able to complete the job in a little over four hours. Fantastic! We will definitely be calling him in the future for our lighting needs! read more

Highly recommend Simply Lights and Fans. From the moment I spoke with Nick I could tell he was the right guy. He quoted me a price and was able to come out. They were on time and prepped the area and covered it to make sure dust and drywall wouldn't get scattered every where. They patched up the area and textured it just like they said they would. They also were way more affordable than other places I called. Thanks again read more

Nick did a great job with my install. He was able to come on very short notice (48hrs) and gave a very accurate over the phone quote. There was no up-selling and he was very straightforward. I asked Nick about angled cans because I have vaulted ceilings and he recommended that I stick with regular cans for my setup. He showed up on time and put in 8 (4 in the bedroom and 4 in the living room) 4000k LED lights in my apartment in about 6 hours. It took longer and cost a little more than expected because my complex is older and the wiring required some finesse. I appreciate that Nick took his time to explain everything. I had dimmer switches put in too, which is great for getting up early in the morning or in the middle of the night and not having the lights burn your eyeballs. I highly recommend Simply Lights and Fans. TIP: They DO NOT paint. I took the plugs after the light cans were put in and drove to Home Depot to paint match and did the painting myself. read more

**NOT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN/CONTRACTOR -BEWARE** I have never left ANYONE a negative yelp review but WOW! I made contact after having a great recommendation for this electrician and after viewing his Yelp reviews and work. I contacted the "electrician" 8 times within a 2 hr time frame because i am very limited on the time I have to get the installation taken care of. Regardless of anything I never expected to get lectured and on top of that feel belittled because of my small installation job. I feel embarrassed & honestly hurt. No business owner has every made me feel like a child. Im sorry for my urgency & for the 8 phone calls but this is no way any customer should ever feel or be treated. Shame on you. God has truly blessed you with your own business & success. But this type of treatment should never happen. A simple "I am booked & cannot assist would of been fine" but the need to lectured, laugh at & humiliate is 100% unnecessary. Ridiculous that I apologized for contact him 8 times & never once did the "electrician"acknowledge his rude attitude. Stay humble & be thankful someone would contact you so many times to PAY you for your services. Its not about the big jobs, its always about the customer & referrals. read more

I recently had a couple LED lights go out on me. Reached out to Nick to see what he can do. Quickly responded and scheduled time to stop by and take of the situation. Nick & Jerry are awesome and their service is world class. I'll be moving again which means we'll have another project for them lined up. As a business owner myself, repeat business means we are doing something right to ensure we obsess over customer satisfaction. read more

I am so happy with the work Nick did for us. When I first called him, I knew we were out of his service area, but I asked if we do a job in Palm Springs. Our project was big enough for him and he took it. He was $2,700 less than our lowest bid, so I was very happy he could take the job. He arrived 30 minutes before our scheduled start time, which I appreciated! We go started right away.. I showed him the house and all the places I wanted recessed lights. He was very polite when offering other suggestions. I followed his lead and we ended up putting fewer lights in the house than I had expected and it turned out perfect. This shows his honesty and ethic. Also, when I came to pay him the invoice was lower than he told me in the morning, as he did not have to do certain things he estimated. Wow, so honest! He and his helper finished installing 28 recess lights, dimmers, etc. by 4:30pm and they started around 7:30am after our initial walk through. I will recommend Nick to other friends and family. He again was prompt, honest, ethical and did a perfect installation and cleaned up as if he was never there! read more

We used Yelp which gave us four different companies. We discussed our project to take out our old ceiling fan and assemble and install the new one. He also changed out several electrical outlets that needed replaced. We couldn't have had a better experience. He was on time, clean and very professional. All went well in a very timely manner. We highly recommend Simply Lights and Fans to everyone. read more

I needed 6 recessed lights installed in my living room. Called around a few places and this was the only team that gave me honest and timely feedback. Nick and Jerry showed up on time and did a fantastic job. The price was super competitive and the quality was top notch. I can't say enough about these guys. Don't look elsewhere because they are the number 1 to seek out in OC. read more

I'm not one to write reviews either good or bad but I felt the need to write this one because the professionalism and quality of work that Nick and his team conducted at my house. They worked with my crazy schedule and around the unopened furniture boxes in the area where they installed my recessed lights. They provided their professional opinion on the placement of the lights and still allowed us to put the lights where we felt like they would look best. They were even honest in saying that I didn't really need the amount of lights that I asked for therefore they lost money on not installing the extra lights. The day of work was my day off but I had some errands that I really needed to get done and I felt very comfortable allowing them to be in my house alone while I was gone for about 4 hours. I will highly recommend them to my friends and enemies! I plan on using them in the future when I redo my bathrooms. read more

Was on a tight schedule to get recessed lighting done after the other guy I hired flaked I called Nick we had a short conversation about what my needs were and set a time . They were over on time installed all led recessed throughout the place as well as a few additional outlets and ceiling fan setups in each room. The work was clean and done on time and the pricing was the icing on the cake. Do not hesitate to call these guys ! read more

Nick is definitely one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. He really went out of his way to ensure we were happy with our install. He paid attention to all the little details, has a very competitive price point, protects and covers everything around the area of work, very respectful, and responsive. I was shopping with the intention of getting prices on an installation of about 8 to 10 recessed LED lights. Nick's prices were actually the lowest that I had encountered so I wasn't really sure what to think. We were going back and forth a bit because I was trying to get an install done relatively quickly (before Thanksgiving) which he went out of his way to accommodate -- REALLY appreciated this! We ended up going with 8 new recessed lights, retrofitting another 9 or so, AND we managed to stay under budget for all of it. In addition, that also included the hook up to a room that did not have any existing recessed lighting AND a dimmer as well! If you are looking for someone to do your recessed lighting that is responsive, has competitive rates, and has EXCELLENT customer service, Nick is your guy! I also forgot to mention that Nick did NOT try to up sell me. I originally thought that I would need between 10-11 recessed lights installed but he actually recommended 8 and said it would look great - he was right! I'll definitely be going to him in the future when I decide to get more recessed lighting and/or decide to install another ceiling fan! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but Nick and Jerry did such a wonderful job on my recently purchased house that I felt compelled to write one! I had a total of 38 recess lights installed along with numerous switch legs and on/off wall switches. The thing I like about Nick is he is very honest and has a very good eye for what will look great in your home. Unlike other electricians I have hired before Nick, Nick really care about the quality of his work and will go the extra mile to get the job done right the first time. I highly recommend Nick and Jerry if you want to have recess lights installed! read more

Be cautious with this business. They insist on being paid in cash only. That should definitely raise some red flags. When I asked if I could pay with a check or Venmo the money they refused. After agreeing on a date to do the work, I took time off work to have the work done. As I waited at home, Nick called and said that he wasn't feeling well. If he wasn't well why couldn't he send someone else? Everything seemed suspicious. I believe he got a better job offer and decided to take that one. After that episode, it was one excuse after another for not doing the job. He was very unprofessional and when I couldn't tolerate his suspicious excuses I decided to go with a licensed and more ethical business. This guy might be a little cheaper but I'd rather pay higher rates and be treated with respect and deal with an ethical professional. read more

I shopped around for the best price and Nick was the only one to offer me the best price. His website is one of the few sites that inform you of pricing. He's got great communication and responds to texts. His work is clean and professional. He'll give you his expert advice but ultimately will do whatever you ask. His partner, Jerry is skilled and also offers his expertise advice if asked, but will do what you ask at the end of the day. They cover up the walls and furniture with plastic and the floors with cloth covers. His prices are the best and the work is very professional. I'd highly recommend Nick. read more

Type: LED Recessed Color: 5K (Daylight) Size: 6 in Quantity: 27 Nick & Jerry were amazing!! GREAT Price and GREAT Service. Nick was tremendously patient with all my questions and gave me a through explanations of what was needed for my house. He was honest and made sure I was satisfied with the service. Make sure you check his prices, before going anywhere else. Those recessed lights really helped my mid century home feels modern. Appreciate their professionalism and work ethics; showed up on time and constant kept me in the loop. read more

Nick and his crewman Jerry were excellent! I had 2 chandeliers I needed to install, hand made, imported from Turkey. This was a very custom installation, the chandelier came without any instructions or hanging hardware. I spoke with Nick prior to our install several times on the phone, and he even stopped by to look at the 2 chandeliers prior to. He brought all the hardware, medallions, junction box, mounting box, and every possible alternative he could think of that we would need. He even gave me some very good advice on relocating the chandelier, even though it meant less money in his pocket. On the day of install, Nick and Jerry showed up promptly, covered my newly finished entry way flooring, put up a scaffolding and patiently took their time and did everything perfectly. They even changed some electrical connections around to accommodate me. They were super careful with my delicate chandeliers, wrapping and securing the glass before hoisting it. They worked from 7:30 to 3:00 until the job was done, without even breaking for lunch! Despite the extra work and changes I made, Nick stuck true to his quote. Nick's can do attitude, a willingness to be creative to make it work for me, and a phenomenal price is why I will only go with Nick for all my electrical needs. People/contractors like him and Jerry are hard to come by! read more

In 52 years of life, this is the best experience with a contractor. When it's stated "I'll be there at 7am, he was there at 6:30 am; ready to work. Courteous, reliable and fast. I greatly Recommend this company. I used my daughters account to make my first Yelp review... read more

Nick and Jerry were great. Very professional and courteous. They covered the flooring and furniture and even wore shoe covers. We had 4 new recessed LED lights put it in and 4 old recessed lights updated to a newer style. We went with 4000k which is a very clean bright white, not too yellowish or blueish. They also installed a ceiling fan and wall control that we had purchased. Will definitely be using them again to replace the remaining old recessed lighting in our house. read more

We originally hired him for 20 Lights and had him do 40+. Thanks for squeezing us in on short notice. Nick is your got to guy for any lighting needs!! read more

Nick was extremely helpful through the entire ceiling installation process. I had three ceiling fans that needed to be installed so I called numerous places for quotes. Not only did Nick provide a fair price but he was thorough and communicated with me through the entire process. The big deal in my installation was two of the three were not pre-wired!!! So Nick explained the process of cutting a minimal number of holes in the walls so he could run the wire to the light switches. I was scared of the holes but he explained it's normal and just a part of the process. I trusted him and boy was I glad I did. He did an amazing job and when he patched and textured the holes again you couldn't even tell!!! Very happy with the service and price. I defiantly recommend Nick and his team for any ceiling fan installations. THANK YOU!!! read more

LET THERE BE LIGHT!!! For the first time in many years we had beautiful lighting throughout our home. I am absolutely blown away and so highly recommend these amazing individuals. You will not be disappointed and the pricing is so incredibly fair. Such a great deal that I am going to have the rest of the house lit up and retrofitted for LED lights!! read more

Nick and his colleague are one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. They installed 28 LED recess lights with dimmer switch and 9 LED retrofit in my new house for 2 days, exactly as they promised, and finished the project as if nothing happened around the area of their work. Not only were their performance and quality of the work excellent, but the price was highly competitive. I would recommend the team to anyone who wants lighting upgrade.. Thanks, Nick and Jerry. read more

Nick did amazing work at our house. He was quick to respond to any questions I had and made sure my fiancee and I were kept informed through the entire process. His prices were unbelievable compared to others I had gotten quotes from. On top of all that he had to drive very far out of his way to service my location in Beaumont, but had no qualms about it at all. I'll definitely be using him and his team for my next recessed lighting project! read more

Thank you so much Nick!!! read more

They might be great, but I'll never know. Ann R contacted me quickly after my initial inquiry and said Nick would be in contact. Three days later and nothing. The following is a response to Ann R's response below after my initial review. She tries to put on good spin on her company's effort and says Nick tried to connect with me. In a private message, she said, "I see that he had tried calling on the notes but was not able to connect with you." Why wasn't there a voicemail if he didn't connect with me? I checked my phone activity for that day. I don't know Nick's phone number so I can't verify whether he actually called or not, but I can verify that I had no repeat calls from anyone. So, if the attempt to "connect" with me was via phone, it appears to be one phone call, no message left, and no follow up. read more

If they had a 10 stars rating , I would go for definitely, these guys are the true meaning of professionalism, they showed up on time, they did the work I had in mind, Nick and Jimmy are both cool and they complete each other, everyone has to do what they need to do.

Nick and Jerry did a fantastic job installing recessed lights and electrical outlets at my house. His reasonable prices, professionalism, and high quality service are unmatched.

I will definitely use them again and will spread the word on how amazing they are because they are simply that good! read more
