  • Bill and his crew were wonderful to work with. The process was smooth and easy. Bill returned my initial call quickly and we were able to set up a date for him to look at the project. Bill came out once to look at the work, then came out again for a follow up and explanation of the estimate. The paperwork was all sent by email and was done in a very timely manner. We even had the option to pay online, which was great for us. Once the project was booked, Bill and his crew came out to set up the lighting. Every member of the team was extremely professional and cleaned up all the supplies. We are thrilled with the final project, and we highly recommend working with Bill. He is extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with.

  • We are thrilled with our new outside lighting. Start to finish, Northern Outdoor Lighting provided excellent service, including design and installation. I recommend them to anyone interested in stepping up their outdoor lighting.

  • Bill and his team are great. We felt that he was competent and experienced in giving us good advice. The project turned out beautifully. We had done another lighting project with our landscapers previously, who charged us much more, had little advice to offer and said that they cannot drill into our retaining walls to install lights. Bill said that it was not a problem to install lights in retaining walls, did so without a problem and gave us a beautiful result.

  • We found Northern Outdoor Lighting by chance after an online search for contractors in our area. After seeing other homes with outdoor lighting during a recent vacation of ours, we decided to see if it would have the same effect on our home. Bill at Northern Outdoor Lighting made it a reality. The welcoming warm picture that our lighted home now provides at night has added a whole new dimension to our property. Bill was very responsive to our inquiries, and happily and quickly provided an at home visit to discuss options. We decided to have the front of our property lighted. Bill’s team completed the job on schedule with absolutely no evidence of the work that had been done other than the beautiful lighting that our house now has. We are already planning work for the back of our house and will indeed be looking to Northern Outdoor Lighting in the near future. Northern Outdoor Lighting has our highest recommendation and confidence.  A pleasure to work with!

  • The landscape lighting project went perfectly as planned. Bill Knowles and his team at Northern Outdoor Lighting did a great job with the layout design. Their team is very professional, courteous as well as responsive to all of my follow up questions. I highly recommend them.

  • Northern Outdoor Lighting really listened to what we were looking for in our outdoor space. The lighting that they recommended is perfect. Two years later we are still thrilled with it. The installers were so professional and made sure we understood how everything worked in the event that we wanted to change timers, etc.  They followed up with us a year later to see if we were still satisfied with the project. I wish all contractors interacted as professionally as this group. I cannot say enough positive things. The whole experience was easy, and we love our outdoor space.

  • I have worked with Northern Outdoor Lighting on many projects, from small house lighting additions to full low-voltage landscape lighting installations. Bill and his highly skilled team are professionals through and through. They provide a superior experience to any other landscape lighting professionals in the New England region. Northern Outdoor Lighting is my first and last call for exterior lighting needs on any property or project I am involved in!

  • On a whim, I reached out to Bill to design and install the lighting for my wedding last summer. I wanted temporary lights, and he was an expert in permanent. He was excited about the challenge and said that the materials were the same, just a slightly different strategy. I was 100% unprepared for how awesome, professional, cautious, thoughtful and reliable Bill would be about our project, which started as a temporary installation, as I said, and turned into permanent installations all over my parents farm because they loved the lighting so much.

    Bill came up and did several site visits to our home in NH, he listened to my vision for how the lighting would flow at our outdoor wedding on our property, he made his own recommendations as well, which were creative and fun. He showed me sample fixtures and sent through a budget and got to work. For the installation, he came several days in advance of the wedding with a small crew to start putting the lights in place. He wanted to test everything before the day in case anything was wrong. Each day, the property came to life in a way that was unexpected. We’d never had outdoor lighting before and having it wash across the barn, the forest, the bread oven and the gardens was all incredible.

    The event went off beautifully and Bill took all my crazy phone calls. After the main event, my parents decided to make a lot of the lighting permanent and they have enjoyed it ever since. Bill made sure all the wires and such were buried and the property was clean and safe, even when they were temporary, and he did a totally pro installation when they were made permanent. He has taken countless calls from my dad about replacing a bulb or adjusting a light. He is just the nicest person to deal with.

    He never makes anyone feel uninformed, even though many are when it comes to outdoor lighting. I certainly was. He became like a member of our family for the weeks surrounding the biggest day of my life!

  • I hired Bill to replace incandescent lights with LED lights that could be anchored with concrete for the front entrance of our neighborhood. Bill helped identify the ideal lights. They are attractive, energy saving, timer controlled, provide the right amount of light and can be anchored into the ground in a robust way. Bill was prompt in providing a quote, taking care of the work, answering questions and providing assistance. He is professional, knowledgeable, prompt and a pleasure to work with. I am very satisfied with the work, and I highly recommend Bill and his company.

  • Bill and his crew did a fantastic job on my lighting project. I hired Northern Outdoor Lighting to install some landscape lights (11 fixtures) for my front yard and it has made a world of difference to the look of our home at night. Bill is very easy to work with. When I got home, I couldn’t even tell that he and his crew were there. The types of fixtures that were used are all high quality and look great. I can’t recommend them enough. I’m pretty hard to please when it comes to home improvement projects, and Northern Outdoor Lighting exceeded my expectations. Thank you.

  • Northern Outdoor Lighting upgraded our outdated outdoor lighting and added new lighting to enhance the surrounding landscape: a New Hampshire site with mixed woodlands, fern covered fields and banks, and garden areas with many specimen trees. Bill Knowles and his highly professional crew were meticulous in laying underground wiring, selecting appropriate lighting effects and following through with every possible detail, from start to finish. The end result is magical. It is as if the moon were seeping through our trees.  A perfect job, on-time and under budget.
