"Kevin DeBoer from Holiday Lighting Company did a magnificent job putting up the Xmas lights on the outside of the house. The neighbors love the lights. Kevin was professional and efficient setting up the lights."
"Marco was very thorough and did an excellent job washing our windows. It's the first time we used this service and we would happily have him do it again."
"I couldn’t be happier with the work done on my home. He was professional, thorough, and clearly takes pride in doing things the right way. What started as a repair to the flashing and paneling turned into an even better result than I expected, he went above and beyond and even replaced the vent above the paneling, which really shows the level of care he brings to his work. The finished result looks fantastic, and the repair blends in beautifully with the rest of the house. He was careful, responsive, and made sure everything was done properly from start to finish. It’s hard to find someone who is this reliable, skilled, and detail-oriented. I would absolutely recommend him for any job from small to big— he can do it all. I’m very grateful for the quality of his work and will gladly call him again for future projects."
"Alvaro also cleaned the leaves off our flat roof and went way beyond. He cleaned up the overflow all around the yard and the deiveway. Our windows have never been so clean. He cleaned out 8 glass doors twice just to be sure. Heâ s worth every penny."
"Sean and Ty showed up on time and ready to work. They were very professional and did a great job. They cleaned up after trimming and shaping my bushes and left the yard looking great. Nice young men who deliver good customer service. Their prices are great.. less than half what two other companies quoted me. I will be using them again, for sure."
Yes, a holiday lighting installation can be a DIY project. While it is possible for homeowners to do it themselves, it's crucial to ensure all safety precautions are taken. This includes using the proper tools, following electrical safety guidelines, and carefully planning the layout. For large or high displays, professional installation is often recommended to ensure safety and a more polished appearance.
There is no formal date for Christmas light removal, but January 2 is a standard day to take them down for many homeowners. However, some homeowners’ associations have strict rules around this topic, mandating that residents remove lights no later than two weeks after Christmas. Check with your local association or community for more information.
Christmas trees need about 100 lights per foot, so you would need 700 lights for a 7-foot tree.
While Christmas lights are a wonderful way to light up your home during the holiday season, they don’t have a long lifespan. Most incandescent Christmas light bulbs are designed to last between 1,000 and 1,500 hours—or about one to three holiday seasons. More durable LED bulbs should last about 10 times as long.
One of the easiest ways to save money when hiring a holiday decorator is to provide storage for your decorations. If you have the space, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by avoiding storage costs through your professional. It’s also a good idea to provide as much direction as possible for your professional, as this can cut down on design services. Finally, you can pay for your decorator to take down your decorations at the end of the season, but packaging and storing them yourself will save money on labor.
