Landscape Lighting Repair in Sherwood, OR
Sherwood's repair work reflects its two halves. In Old Town, systems tend to be older and often added in stages — mixed fixtures, splices of different vintages, and transformers that have been asked to do more over the years. In the newer neighborhoods, the more common story is builder-grade lighting failing within a few winters.
The rolling terrain adds runoff to the list: water moving downhill exposes shallow cable, tips path fixtures and pools on connections at the low points. We test the whole system, find the real faults, and give you a straight answer on what's worth keeping.
Local Know-How
What Matters in Sherwood
Older, patchwork systems
We trace and map older Old Town systems before repairing, so the work is done on a known layout rather than guesswork.
Early builder-grade failures
In newer areas, connectors and plastic fixtures are usually the culprits. We replace them with sealed connectors and brass fixtures.
Runoff on sloped lots
On rolling terrain, we re-bury exposed cable, reset fixtures on firmer footings and move connections out of the low points.
Reviews
What Homeowners Say
“Other quotes were a fixture count on paper. These guys walked the yard, explained what each light was doing and why, and the plan matched what we got.”
Landscape & Garden Lighting
Mark R.
Lake Oswego
“Our 1912 Craftsman vanished after dark. They lit the columns and the gable and left everything between them dark. The contrast is the whole thing.”
Architectural & Facade Lighting
Jennifer L.
Irvington, Portland
“Steep lot, and the walk down was dangerous in the wet. Staggered path lights plus lights in the step risers — fewer fixtures than we were quoted elsewhere, better result.”
Path & Walkway Lighting
David S.
West Linn
“Half our system had been dark for two years. They found it in twenty minutes — corroded connectors — and told me the transformer was fine. Could have sold me a new one.”

How It Works
From Consultation to Installed
Free Design Consultation
We walk your property with you, talk through what you want the space to feel like after dark, and note the trees, architecture, and pathways worth lighting — no pressure, no obligation.
Your Lighting Plan
We put the design on paper fixture by fixture — what gets lit, from where, with which beam spread — and price it as a fixed proposal. Nothing is ordered and no deposit is taken until you've approved it.
Clean, Low-Voltage Install
Our crews hand-dig and tuck 12-volt cable below grade, set transformers discreetly, and mount solid brass and copper fixtures — with your lawn and beds left the way we found them.
Night Aiming & Ongoing Care
We return after dark to aim every fixture by eye, set your timer or app schedule, and walk the finished system with you — then keep it dialed in with optional annual maintenance.
Questions
Lighting Repair in Sherwood: FAQ
Can you fix just the part of my Sherwood system that's out?
Usually, yes. We find the fault with a meter — often a single failed connection or a cut cable — and repair it. If we find the rest of the system is close to failing too, we'll tell you so you can decide, rather than fixing one thing and leaving.
Can you service a system another company installed?
Yes — that's a large part of what we do. We'll assess whatever's there regardless of who put it in, tell you what's failing and why, and give you options. No obligation to have us rebuild anything.
Why did part of my system go dark?
Most often a failed connector, a lamp at end of life, or voltage drop on an overlong run. Less often a failed transformer or water in a fixture. A section going dark together usually points to one connection upstream, which is exactly the sort of thing a meter finds in minutes and guesswork doesn't.
My lights look dim at the far end of the run. Why?
Voltage drop — the far fixtures aren't receiving enough voltage because the cable is too long, too thin, or too heavily loaded for a single run. Fixes range from re-tapping to a higher transformer voltage terminal, to splitting the run, to re-cabling that leg. We'll measure the actual voltage at the fixture and size the fix to it.
How often should outdoor lighting be maintained?
An annual visit suits most Portland-area systems. Plants grow fast here, moss and debris cloud lenses, and fixtures drift out of aim over a season. Yearly service to re-aim, clean, check connections, and adjust the timer keeps a system looking like it did the week it was installed.
