The results are both safe and beautiful. Charlie is truly the electrician you want to hire. After a decade of working with him, we couldn't recommend him more highly.

In the initial meeting he recommended the best type of light for the setting.

I whole heartedly recommend the Republic Lighting Services for any electrical work needed.

And he also engineered better mounting plates to correct some unevenness in mounting heights. Bravo Raoul and thank you! Better than

Not a good company. We called for information. The owner offered to come out, see our yard, and…read moregive us an idea what he could do for us. He offered to light up our patio as a demo and leave it with us for a few days to see if we like it and want to purchase the lights. We agreed. Cost was not discussed at this time. Well the lighting design was poor. Didn't do anything we had said we wanted from the lights. So he came back to remove the lights and then asked for $125 fee for the 'consultation." Nothing had been said beforehand that there would be a fee for the consultation or demo. We refused. He was unpleasant about it. Said that nothing in his ad in the Axxess book implied a free consultation or demo. But nothing in the ad said there would be a fee, either. Had he told us up front it would cost $125 just to come out for a consultation we would have refused right then and this unpleasant incident never would have happened. Bottom line---find some other company for your lighting!

Walked to the cafe on Saturday morning while staying at the Inn about 200 ft away. It took a bit of time to work through the line but after ordering and sitting in the zen garden, my English muffin sandwich and coffee was delivered with a warm smile. The highlight was the fresh house made English muffin and habanero apricot jam. The jam was so good I'm still thinking about it. Loved our experience so much we came back the following morning. Ordered the breakfast sandwich this time around and it was just as good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Pricing is all reasonable considering the freshness and quality of the food. So glad to have discovered this gem and will most definitely be back when in or driving through the area.
