Holiday lighting questions and answers
Pricing
How much does holiday lighting cost?
Every property is different. We provide free, no-hassle estimates with guaranteed first-year pricing, so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Your estimate includes design, installation, in-season maintenance, takedown, and storage of the lights. The price you are quoted is the price you pay for the first year. After the first year, your price covers installation and removal unless you request additional lights or change the colors of your display.
Do I need to buy my own lights?
No. We provide all the lights and materials. The first-year price includes the materials, and you own everything after that. In each following year, you pay for installation and removal unless you request additional lights or change the colors of your display.
I have lights from another company. Will you install them?
No. We do not install lights purchased from another company. We use our own standard commercial-grade equipment so we can match bulb colors, maintain consistent quality, and properly warranty and guarantee the installation.
Scheduling
When should I book my installation?
We recommend getting an estimate and booking in October or by the first week of November at the latest if you want your lights installed by Thanksgiving. Our schedule fills up quickly, so booking early helps ensure you can enjoy your lights for the full season.
How long does installation take?
Our experienced crews install hundreds of homes each year. A typical installation for a normal-sized home generally takes less than one hour, depending on the property and design.
Service Area
When do you take the lights down?
We schedule takedowns after the holiday season, typically before the end of January. We organize takedowns by area and text you a date range when we expect to remove your lights. Snow, ice, or severe weather can delay the schedule.
Where do you provide service?
We currently serve Lee's Summit, MO and Raymore, MO, including neighborhoods such as Winterset Valley and Creekmoor.
Installation & Maintenance
Do you work with HOA requirements?
Yes. We have worked in or with every HOA in our Lee's Summit and Raymore service areas. We are happy to coordinate with your community and follow its guidelines.
What types of lights do you use?
We use commercial-grade LED lights in C7 and C9 bulbs, along with wreaths. Options include warm white, pure white, multicolor, and custom color combinations. C9 is the most common style shown in our photos.
What if a light goes out during the season?
Bulb and wire problems are covered by our in-season maintenance service at no extra charge. Contact us and we will come fix the issue. Other situations may not be covered under warranty; see our [terms](/terms/) for details.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full liability coverage for every installation.
Do you store the lights after the season?
Yes. Off-season storage of the lights is included with every project. We currently store the lights, but we cannot store wreaths.
