Frequently asked questions
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Buda and serve Hays County and the surrounding communities — including Kyle, San Marcos, Dripping Springs, Wimberley, Driftwood, Manchaca, South Austin, Lakeway, Bee Cave and West Lake Hills. If you're nearby and not listed, just ask.
Is Excel Outdoor Lighting insured?
Yes. We're a fully insured and bonded, family-owned company, and our team brings over 20 years of exterior-lighting experience to every install.
How does the free consultation work?
We schedule a free in-home consultation, usually within 24 to 48 hours of your call. We walk the property, learn what you want to light and why, and then send a detailed written estimate — typically within 24 to 72 hours of the visit.
What is permanent outdoor lighting?
Permanent outdoor lighting is a discreet channel of individually addressable LEDs installed under your eaves and rooflines. It stays up year-round and hides in daylight. From an app you can run warm-white accent light every night, switch to team or holiday colors, and set schedules — with no ladders and no seasonal takedown.
Do you install and take down holiday lighting?
Yes — it's full service. We design and install professional-grade holiday lighting at the start of the season, maintain it if anything goes out, then take it all down after the holidays and store it for you until next year. All you do is enjoy it.
Do you offer a warranty?
We back our installations with a one-year labor warranty, and our permanent lighting carries a five-year parts warranty through Gemstone Lights.
Do you do commercial lighting?
Yes. We design and install commercial exterior lighting — architectural accent lighting, landscape lighting, and parking and security lighting — built to lift curb appeal, improve safety, and stand up to daily commercial use.
Do you offer any discounts?
We're glad to take care of veterans, first responders, medical professionals, educators and seniors — just mention it when you schedule your consultation.
