Our company provides quality work and quality pricing for window cleaning, gutter cleaning, pressure washing and holiday lighting . We are driven to provide an amazing experience for our customers from start to finish.
"If only all the people we hire to do work in and around our home could be as professional, personable, honest, and efficient as Matt and his partner Daniel. As a result of our previous positive experience with Matt when he cleaned our gutters, we didn't hesitate to contact him for window cleaning. He responded immediately and was able to fit us in to the schedule for the next day. We have a somewhat complicated window set-up. But he and Daniel were still able to clean our windows and screens inside and out. We also asked them about pressure washing our deck and flagstone patio. But after assessing both, they made suggestions for more appropriate solutions. It was a pleasure working with them. And we have sparkling clear windows!"

Family-owned business that works with homeowners. We beautify landscapes, add function to outdoor living spaces and collaborate with homeowners on project design.
"So happy with the project. Mike and crew did a wonderful job working with me to create a retaining wall to support a driveway as well as designed in ground basketball hoop into the wall. We get a many compliments from the regular walkers in the neighborhood. Mike was responsive and easy to work with. The paving contractor changed the grade of the driveway, and we then had to unexpectedly make changes to the wall. Mike and Great Goats were great in extending the project, continuing to work with me to change and complete the project in a timely and cost effective manner. Would hire again."

Landscape lighting has a higher price point than indoor lighting because it's built to withstand harsh weather conditions. These systems use durable materials like cast brass and water-resistant wiring to withstand temperature extremes, rain, and snow. Many landscape lighting systems also come with a lifetime warranty, which adds to the cost but provides lasting peace of mind.
Many homeowners find that LED landscape lights are worth the investment. LED landscape bulbs offer greater energy efficiency and lower long-term costs compared to incandescent bulbs and sodium lamps. They use between just six and 15 watts, offering long-term savings on energy bills and bulb replacements while producing ample illumination.
Outdoor lights don't use a lot of electricity when you select energy-efficient options. The energy usage depends on the type of fixtures and the system design. For example, many holiday lights consume about five watts per unit, but larger installations can increase total energy consumption. By carefully planning the number of fixtures and their placement, you can maintain efficiency while ensuring effective illumination.
The expected lifespan of landscape lights is determined by the quality of the materials and installation methods. Landscape lights offer a set lifespan where hardwired systems withstand conditions for 10 to 25 years, and battery-powered or solar-powered units last for five to 15 years. Proper maintenance and installation extend longevity while ensuring consistent illumination.
The time necessary for landscape lighting installation depends on the size and complexity of the project. Professional installers can complete installation for hardwired systems within one to two days, whereas battery-powered or solar-powered setups only take several hours. Hiring a qualified professional is the best way to ensure the project is done safely and efficiently.
