We Are the Light is a great company. Donnie and Chris quickly responded to my request for a quote. They were very friendly and took the time to listen to my concerns and what I wanted out of the project. And I got exactly what I wanted. beautiful lights for appeal and safety. I also must say that the installers (Darron and Josh) were wonderful. They arrived on time, went over the plan, and kept in touch with me as I had to work that day.
They also were kind enough to point out a problem we had under the house that had nothing to do with what they were doing. If you are looking to add some lights to the exterior of your house give them a call. I highly recommend this company.

Donnie was knowledgeable, friendly & work was completed in 1 day. During installation they encountered a wiring issue ( which was caused by our builder) which they addressed & were able to correct. We only had 14 lights installed; however, we plan to add more later. We'll definitely call We Are The Light!

Nate and his crew are absolutely amazing. Very professional and great work. I would ask to add things or get their opinions and they would be honest even if it meant I was saving money rather than spending more. Donnie, the owner, runs a great company and I highly recommend using them for any lighting needs. Photos will be posted when it's dark outside so you can see the beautiful work

We had (and continue to have) a great experience with this company! From planning with Donnie to installation, we have enjoyed every step! We had extensive lighting done on our exterior and also had 4 light fixtures, two fans, and 6 new can lights installed inside. As well as replaced under cabinet lighting and existing can lights! The crew is diligent and so nice! Highly recommend!

Wow! We are so impressed with how beautiful our home looks! We used to have a back yard that was so dark our kids couldn't play outside at night. They were SO excited to see the difference! In addition to that, we are now the talk of the neighborhood because of how beautiful our home looks lit up at night. I would HIGHLY recommend We Are The Light!
