Amazing customer service from sales to installation to maintenance. Even almost 3 or 4 years later, we get prompt responses and get follow-up services. Most importantly, we are very pleased with the welcoming look created by our outdoor lighting.

Friendly and professional from start to finish. Workers on site were excellent and cleaned up as though they were never there. Highly recommend them for any landscape lighting job small or large.

We contacted CLA of America to give us a bid to replace all of our 8 year old landscape lights because they were dim, some didn't work and we needed additional lights. They gave us a bid and after some discussion, we appreciated that Harold & Daniel suggested that since the lights were in decent shape they could refurbish for us instead of replacing everything. They cleaned the lenses, replaced all bulbs to LED, moved lights around as needed and added some lights in other areas.
Their pricing was reasonable and they were very reliable. The lights look great and so happy we used CLA of America! Also. they were willing to come back to adjust a few things for us as well. We highly recommend them -- it is nice to deal with a family-owned business that keeps their word!

I had worked with Custom Lighting a number of years before and had great success. So when we moved into a new home I wanted to use them again. I experienced great service and again received a great product. The lights are very durable and make a huge difference. They did a great job once again.

I hired CLOA for my west Lake Worth house.from start to finish I felt I was dealing with a very professional, fair, and trusting company for the lighting installation. At first I wanted just plain white lights for my house as I got 2 other quotes from other companies, however, CLOA demonstrated the color changing lights as another option.the other 2 companies did not have these lights as an option.
These lights really impressed me! Loved them and very glad I went with something more WOW! I highly recommend them to anyone. The crew that did the installation were very helpful and nice as well. They also respond to my calls immediately as a minor timer issue came up after the installation, again, very good experience. The color changing lights are SO cool they can be customizedto many differentcombinations. Can't wait for the holidays.no more string lights on my trees!

Their design and installation was outstanding. It is particularly noteworthy that they stand 100% behind their work and their service after the installation has also been outstanding. Highly recommended.

I found them at a show and loved their display. They use solid brass lights, with everything included. It's a father & son business. Ask for David, he's great to work with & has great ideas. A Happy customer.

Harold and his team are excellent to work with. We did our entire house with his custom lighting system and couldn't be happier with the results. Was on time, did the job right and always provides support for additional services when called. Highly recommend this team for your light landscaping needs. Thanks, Armando

I strongly recommend Custom Lighting of America! The owner took the time to come out and set up lights for us so we could see exactly how it would illuminate at night before burying them. Harold did an amazing job lighting up our home and landscaping. I wish we had done this project years ago!

Thank you Custom Lighting of America for transforming Grandview Gardens Bed & Breakfast into a romantic, fairy-tale oasis in the evening. Your landscape lighting products and service have been outstanding!

We were first attracted to CLA by the extraordinary quality of their light fixtures which are second to none! More important: the excellent service provided by Mr. Salkin and CLA. Every time we call Mr. Salkin with a problem (usually caused by the gardener), he immediately responds and provides whatever part is necessary, always under the lifetime warranty. We are also firm believers in the old saying: You get what you pay for!
