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

The best experience anyone could go through when it comes to this crew. Great people and a product that not only fits the budget but performs like no other. I was so pleased with my outside setup that I had them come back and update my interior lighting. Thank you for helping us and God bless!
