I really loved the final product. The lighting makes a huge difference in the appearance of my house. The installers and the pro I spoke with every step along the way were both very nice and informative. I couldnt ask for more. I had a great experience with Bolt! It was worth the price.

Bolt made this project and selecting them easy. They were responsive, timely and respectful. Blake showed up on time, provided a quote as requested and offered guidance. Kevin and Blake came out during the install to assure satisfaction and to offer suggestions. Slight changes were made to provide an improved final result. Skeets was our installer and was simply outstanding, he went about his work quietly and competently. He answered our questions and even cleared a clog in our downspout. He was thorough and carefully explained all that he had done and completed. We could not be more satisfied
