Brighter porch and path lights in Sanger

Summer nights in Sanger are warm, and with fields and orchards all around town, the bugs come out in force. Moths, beetles and gnats circle the porch light, slip inside the fixture and never leave. Spiders follow them and spin webs around the housing. Add the dust that blows in from farm country, spring pollen and sprinklers spraying low wall and path lights, and a fixture that looked fine in the daytime turns into a cloudy, speckled glow after dark.

We start by walking the property with you, or going over your list, to find every porch light, wall sconce, lantern, garage light, security light and landscape light. Where a fixture can be opened safely, we remove the glass or cover, clear out the bugs, webs and debris, and clean the glass and housing inside and out. Sealed fixtures, and older ones that could be damaged by opening, are cleaned gently from the outside. Path lights get their lenses wiped, and we pull back the mulch, soil or leaves that have crept up around them. Then everything goes back together and we check that each cover is seated properly.

Porch lights sit right beside your front door, so they’re one of the first things a guest notices. That counts for even more around the holidays in the Christmas Tree City, when evenings are long and people are coming and going. A bug-filled lantern can make a freshly cleaned house look neglected. Most homeowners add light cleaning to a window cleaning or house wash so everything is fresh at once, usually once or twice a year. We also clean storefront, sign and walkway lights for local businesses. We’re licensed and insured, estimates are free, and if a fixture doesn’t look right we’ll come back.
