A Message from President, Thomas J. Piana III:

Dear Friends,
Since 1974 we have dedicated our lives to the general public. When you buy from us, you are NOT buying from business owners that simply "started" a lighting "business". Instead, when buying from us, you are buying from my wife Cynthia and I who have actually worked with the public face to face for over 3 decades to help them improve their properties. In fact, Cynthia and I have actually installed and designed lighting fixtures, kitchen cabinets, household fixtures, etc. With this "hands-on" experience & knowledge, we believe that this is the only way a business owner can truly relate to your needs.

Please don't hesitate to email me or call me on my PERSONAL cell phone, if you ever have any questions or problems that couldn'd first be resolved with our customer support team.
How many business owners give out their cell phone number? NONE! Except me!
By doing this, my wife and I just want to prove to everyone that YOU are our most important asset!

Our Personal History:

Affordable Quality Lighting Inc. was founded by a husband and wife team of Thomas J. Piana III and Cynthia M. Piana. Tom was a 3rd generation general contractor and business owner with over 35 years experience with remodeling and building private homes. Not to mention commercial & industrial properties. With all this he will still tell you with his trademark smile that his biggest acheivement are his 3 daughters and wife, Cynthia (pictured above).

Tom's passion for home improvement stemmed from helping his father build homes and install lighting in Southern California since the age of 16. Tom's father's passion for lighting and construction came from working with his father (Tom's grandfather) who learned his trade in Palermo, Italy before the Pianas came to Ellis Island, New York in 1926.

Cynthia successfully operated a well known interior design firm in California for over 13 years. She has an extensive background and a degree in interior designing with exclusive membership with the American Society of Interior Design (ASID), Interior Design Society (IDS), Western Home Furniture Association (WHFA) and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). Cynthia closed her firm for the same reason as her husband, Tom... to spend more time with their children.

Needless to say together, they are a match made in heaven. Not only because thier marriage produced three beautiful girls but it also brought together a top notch contractor and developer (Tom) with one of the most talented interior designers (Cynthia).

How can this partnership go wrong? With thier combined experience, talent, and passion for home and commercial property improvements we can guarantee you the best service, lowest prices, quality materials and a fun experience. Since 1974, their goal is not only to get the sale, but to make a friend with each and every customer.

Thank you and GOD bless you, GOD bless the USA and GOD bless everyone, every country and everything on our precious Planet!
