  • I have worked with Bill and Northern Outdoor Lighting to work on several of my professional landscape projects and for my own home. All my experiences have been extremely positive. Over the past couple of years, he has been the best contractor I’ve worked with, so it was a no brainer to use him at my personal house as well. I highly recommend him for all your outdoor lighting needs.

  • After interviewing a few companies, it was crystal clear that Northern Outdoor Lighting would complete our project with the highest level of quality and service. Our expectations were met and exceeded. Bill Knowles is a true gentleman who arrives on time and is concise and precise in project planning and product detail. His crew was careful, friendly and accommodated all our wishes. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome that now beautifully accents our property.

  • 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!

  • Highly recommend Northern Outdoor Lighting. We moved into our house about a year ago and there was extensive outdoor lighting. We had no idea where most of the lights were located or the total number of lights throughout the property. Bill inventoried the lighting, then cleaned and repaired all the lights. Our yard has now been restored to its original lighting design. Bill and his partner were punctual, neat and great to work with.

  • 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.

  • I saw Bill’s work initially on a newly renovated house on Bacon St. in Winchester.

    I really like how efficient and professional Bill’s process was from start to finish. He is extremely knowledgeable in landscape lighting and design. I am very particular, and he is an excellent listener. I believe in doing things right the first time, and Bill was the right hire. He installed top of the line landscape light fixtures at a fair value for the quality of workmanship and product. He is also a man of his word. He came back to do an annual review of my property and fixed a couple of broken fixtures that were probably caused by my landscapers weedwhackers. I would highly recommend Bill.

    Landscape lighting really changes the look of your house. I see it as an intelligent investment akin to Lasik eye surgery, meaning: you do not necessarily need it, but once you go ahead and do it you are really happy with the result.

  • With experience as a professional landscaper, Bill has a true sense and vision of how to illuminate an outdoor scene. His knowledge is a true resource for every project. His team was a pleasure to work with when we were confronted with tight schedules and fixed budgets.  Northern Outdoor Lighting earns my highest recommendation as the premiere outdoor lighting expert in New England.

  • Bill came recommended from a neighbor who had used his services and was very pleased. We interviewed a few lighting companies and Bill was the most responsive, thorough and had a unique approach with quality products. We hired him and have been quite happy with the results.
