From First Look to Final Install, We’re With You Every Step of the Way

At Coast Lighting, we make the lighting selection process efficient, collaborative, and hassle-free. Whether you’re a general contractor balancing tight schedules, a designer crafting a custom aesthetic, or a builder sourcing for multiple properties, we ensure your project moves forward with precision and confidence.

Discovery & Consultation

We start with a personal conversation in our showroom, on your job site, or over the phone. This step helps us understand your project scope, design vision, budget, and construction timeline so we can recommend lighting solutions that fit both your aesthetic and practical needs.

Lighting SPECIALIST Support

Send us your plans or fixture list, and our lighting specialists will help you select the right products, review quantities, and offer value-engineered options tailored to your budget and design goals. We’ll also provide clear documentation to keep your project running smoothly from approval to installation.

Showroom Experience

Step into our Redwood City showroom to explore lighting products firsthand. We’ll walk you through fixture types, finishes, and functionality, giving you clarity and confidence before final selections are made.

Product Approval & Order Coordination

After finalizing your lighting package, we’ll confirm specifications, lead times, and compliance details. Our team works behind the scenes to prevent delays and coordinate orders that meet your timeline and budget.

Labeling, Packaging & Storage

We organize your order by room, unit, or phase, clearly labeled and job-site ready. Complimentary warehouse storage is available for qualifying orders, and we coordinate delivery to your project site throughout the Bay Area.

Job Walks & Support

We offer site visits to verify layout and placement, resolve installation concerns, and prevent costly changes. Need support post-delivery? We’re available to answer questions and provide ongoing coordination as your project progresses.

Post-Project Support & Customization

Lighting needs change, and we’re here for that too. From fixture repairs and custom modifications to reorders and long-term support, Coast Lighting stays involved to ensure your satisfaction doesn’t stop at install.
