Testimonials
“Sheryl was fantastic. I needed expert help on lighting the exterior of our house (both front and back). She came out and consulted with me taking a lot of time answering all of my questions and providing her opinion based on her experience and past projects. She then recommended certain light fixtures and lighting as well as an electrician. The project is done and the lights look fantastic! The curb appeal of our house has been greatly increased. You won't regret choosing Sheryl for any of your lighting needs!”

“We would have been completely lost without Sheryl's help. Remodeling can be crazy, and trying to decide where/how much lighting is needed is not an easy task. Sheryl took into account our budget and lit our rooms beautifully. We love the recessed lighting she chose in our kitchen, family room, and great room. She was very accessible and communicative. She made us feel like we were her only clients :) Thank you Sheryl!”

“I don't normally post reviews, but just felt I had to share my incredible experience with Eluminations. Sheryl came for a consultation and was able to lay out a plan that not only fit my budget but gave my home a complete upgrade. I was blown away by her ability to hone in on what would make a real difference in my home--she has made it elegant in a way I didn't know was possible. Sheryl also has a unique ability to understand your taste/style. I had been looking for a chandelier for years without luck--the first one that Sheryl recommended was perfect. Her advice on every fixture was spot on. She is highly professional, knowledgeable, creative, kind, and 100 percent focused on giving the right advice for you and your home. I highly recommend working with her.”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Sheryl to bring style and light to my living room and kitchen. She was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. She responded quickly and fully, showed up on time, tracked her shipments and worked very well with the contractor who she recommended. She knew her technical stuff in terms of wiring and lighting and she has a keen eye for style. And finally, she was easy to work with - easy to communicate with and discuss the pros and cons of various lighting solutions. I will be sure to work with Sheryl when I focus on improving the lighting in the rest of my house.”

“Sheryl has been wonderful to work with! Two years ago, Sheryl came to our house to do a whole house evaluation on our lighting. We asked if she would be willing to schedule an appointment after dark because we have a ton of windows and get a lot of natural light during the day, but it was incredibly dark at night. She came over in the evening, walked through our house room by room and pointed out areas where she would add lights. Later, she provided us with a written evaluation which told us the type of fixture, voltage, and spacing that she recommended for each room. Her evaluation has allowed us to slowly enhance our lighting as our budget allows, and she has even ordered lights for us. The kitchen lights that she selected for us made a huge difference – we were so very happy with them. She helped us come out of the shadows and into the light!”

“What a relief to work with someone who is so experienced! Sheryl listened to what we wanted with the new lighting, she made some measurements then gave us several options with pros and cons, and we zeroed in on what the best option for us. Sheryl discussed the installation in detail with our electrician and gave us a list of every item needed. She also helped us pick compatible lighting heads and the correct bulbs for our needs. We used Sheryl to order the lighting components since she was able to get us a great price, and she kept us informed of the shipments. Sheryl is very efficient and her rates are more than fair for someone with her expertise and knowledge. Highly recommend!”

“We used Sheryl when we decided to update our kitchen lighting from the old 70's florescent into the 21st century. She was efficient and very knowledgeable. She advised us on the number and type of recessed lights needed and helped us select beautiful pendant accent lights over the counter. She ordered all the lights and all were received very promptly. We love the new lights - it feels like we have a new kitchen. We highly recommend Sheryl at Eluminations!”

“Sheryl completed a whole-home lighting plan for our new construction home build. We are extremely pleased with the work from Sheryl. She is a professional in every sense of the word. Her knowledge of lighting is excellent, and the time and attention she paid to our project was very evident during the plan review. Every detail was carefully thought out and she is great about taking any input we had. We have a very clear path forward and do not have to give our lighting another thought. its done! Lighting is such a key component and we had no clue how to light our home. Sheryl's expertise was well worth the investment. She completed her work in a timely fashion and is always quick to respond to any questions or requests. thank you Sheryl. Very glad we added you to the team!”
