Holiday lighting questions and answers
Pricing & Estimates
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 shows the design and first-year price before you book. Most designs are included at no additional cost, although a complex custom multicolor design may have a small, clearly disclosed first-year setup charge.
Do I need to buy my own lights?
No. We provide all lights and materials, and the first-year price includes them. You own the lights after the first year; future pricing primarily covers installation and removal unless you add lights or change the display.
I have lights from another company. Will you install them?
No. We use our own commercial-grade equipment so we can match bulb colors, maintain consistent quality, and properly warranty the installation.
How do I get a quote for holiday lighting?
Please fill out our contact form so we receive the property and design details needed for an accurate estimate. Estimates are free, include guaranteed first-year pricing, and show proposed light runs on a marked-up photo of your home.
Scheduling
How far in advance should I schedule my holiday light installation?
Book as early as possible. We begin scheduling new customers in late October and early November on a first-booked, first-scheduled basis, with the goal of completing installations before Thanksgiving.
How long does installation take?
A typical installation on a normal-sized home generally takes less than one hour, depending on the property and approved design.
How quickly can you install my lights after I book?
Earlier bookings receive earlier installation dates. New-customer installations begin in early November, and we provide your exact date well in advance after the seasonal routes are built.
When do you take the lights down?
We organize takedowns by area after the holidays and aim to remove lighting before February 1, weather permitting. Snow, ice, or severe weather may delay the route.

Design & Installation
What types of holiday lights do you use?
We use commercial-grade LED C7 and C9 bulbs with a standard diamond-faceted finish. We also offer lit wreaths, although wreath storage is not available.
What is the difference between C7 and C9 holiday lights?
C7 bulbs are approximately 1.5 inches long and use 5 to 7 watts. C9 bulbs are approximately 2.25 inches long, use 7 to 10 watts, and create a larger, brighter look; C9 is the style shown in most of our gallery photos.
Can I choose custom colors for my holiday lighting?
Yes. Choose warm white (2600–2800 K), pure white (9000-11000 K), our standard red-yellow-green-orange-blue multicolor pattern, or a custom combination. Most designs cost no extra, but a complex custom multicolor design may require a small first-year setup charge.
Do you install lights on trees and bushes, or just rooflines?
We currently install lighting on rooflines and around garage doors, doors, and windows, and we offer wreaths. We do not currently install lighting on trees, bushes, or walkways.
How do the lights attach to the house?
We use non-damaging plastic clips that attach to gutters or slide under shingle edges. Lighting around doors and windows generally needs to be stapled to the wood trim.
Service & Maintenance
What happens if my lights stop working during the season?
Bulb and wire problems are covered by our in-season maintenance service at no extra charge. Contact us and we will fix the issue; see our terms for complete warranty details and exclusions.
Do you offer commercial holiday lighting for businesses?
Yes. We design and install holiday lighting for storefronts, office buildings, and other commercial properties, with maintenance, takedown, and storage included. View our commercial services.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full liability coverage for every installation.
Do you remove and store the lights after the holidays?
Yes. Post-season takedown and off-season storage of the lights are included. We prepare the lights for the next season, but we cannot currently store wreaths.
