Behind every beautifully lit home we design is a team of dedicated people who bring our work to life.
At Dayloom, we’ve made a long-term commitment to investing in our team—because we know that great lighting starts with great people. In this article, you’ll get an inside look at the crew behind the scenes, how their experience sets Dayloom apart, and why our people-first culture matters to your project.
In a recent video, Dayloom founder Patrick Harders shares how our team has grown together over the years—and how that commitment shows up in every lighting design we create.
Experience That’s Hard to Match
In an industry where turnover is common, Dayloom is different. We’ve built a team that has stayed with us for the long haul—and their experience shows in every detail.
“Josh, my operations manager, has been with me for 23 years,” says Patrick. “He’s done more installs than anyone else I know in the entire country.”
Andy, our head designer, has been part of the team for 13 years. He started as a technician and, with training and mentorship, grew into an award-winning lighting designer—earning three national awards for his work.
That kind of long-term growth doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of investing in people: giving them the tools, trust, and opportunities they need to thrive.
Certified Teams That Care About Every Detail
From the ground up, our entire installation team is certified and trained to the highest standards in the industry. But it’s not just about technical skill—it’s about pride in the craft.
Our crews don’t just show up to install fixtures. They show up to create environments that matter. Every light they place is intentional. Every wire is carefully hidden. Every project is a reflection of our shared commitment to quality.
That’s why we’ve chosen to pay our people well, provide full benefits, and support them as they grow—not just as professionals, but as members of their families and communities.
A Team That Reflects Our Values
We’re proud to say that when you work with Dayloom, you’re working with a team that’s been together for decades. That kind of stability leads to:
- More thoughtful designs backed by deep field experience
- Fewer surprises during installation, because we know what to expect
- A company culture that values people over profits
- A better experience for you, the homeowner
We believe that if we take care of our people, they’ll take care of our clients. And that’s exactly what they do.
