"I had a great overall experience. From the quote to the follow up after the service was done. The owner took time to educate me and answer my questions. I certainly value patient and kind professional! My front bad back yard is ready for winter. I am looking forward to the spring clean up now. Now I have a team on who I can count."

"Dave Dilger, from Holiday Creation, was professional, courteous, pleasant and produced a beautiful design for my house.  The cost was high, but the design looked was perfect.  I told him what I wanted changed and we settled on a design.  Within 10 days, workers came to decorate my house.  One problem was that they kept knocking on the front door and asking what was suppose to be done.  Finally, I printed out the design picture of the house on my printer and handed it to them.  The workers did two major things wrong;  the large tree in front was supposed to be decorated to the TO THE TOP (as shown in the picture).   Even after I called, and a second group of workers returned, they could not reach the top.  The representative, Dave, agreed it should be to top, but I gave up calling to have it altered. Holiday Creations should have used a cherry picker instead of long poles.  The poles seemed to be too short to ever reach the top, even when the workers stood on a ladder with a pole.  Second, the garland was suppose to be wrapped 5 times around the front columns near front door.  The first set of workers wrapped the garland sloppily THREE times around.  When they returned to fix this, it did get done.  A third thing also occurred;  the timer for the front of the house was set 20 minutes before the other timer, which controlled the rest of the house.  This happened when the workers came out for the second time to work on the front tree.  I didn't complain as it was almost Christmas.
Finally, the company said they would start taking down Christmas lights Jan. 2nd.   Three weeks after that, my husband and daughter asked me to call as they were embarressed by the lights, since everyone around us had stopped having lights by Jan. 9.  I called and workers did come to my house within days.
The wreath supplied in my package, when put on my house was far too small.  So, when I first called, Dave Dilger upgraded the wreath to a 4 ft. wreath without cost.  He also assured me that the work would be fixed and shouldn't have been left as it was.  I have not called HC yet, but when when pre-paying, I am going to request that we take care of the wreath and ask if they wanted to alter the price, or decorate something else.
Everyone associated with the office and Dave Dilger genuinely wanted to have top notch work done, were very helpful in retictifying anything which wasn't right, and overall I enjoyed my experience with the company and look forward to having moving my house decorated next year.  I learned that I needed to follow the workers and check the work out before they leave, and that if anything needs to be fixed, changed, etc., I must followup with Dave and/or the office staff everyday until it is to my satisfaction.  When I was dealing with Dave or the office staff, I felt confident that the work would get done properly.  However, their workers weren't as professional and meticulous as I had hoped.

"Ken did a fabulous job. He had painted a different home for me over 5 years ago, but I remembered that he did a great job at a great price, so I called him back when I purchased another home. I needed the house to be painted a week that I had to go out of town. Ken was extremely professional, reliable and trustworthy. I gave him the instructions, a key to my house and went out of town for the week. When I returned over the weekend, the work was complete and was high quality. He called me after the work was completed and asked if there was any touch up work needed. There were only a few spots that needed touching up and he quickly returned to do those. If you need a high quality paint job at an affordable price, I would highly recommend Ken."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

To get in the festive mood, you might turn to hanging holiday lights yourself. In many circumstances, DIY Christmas light installation can be cost-effective, not to mention fun. However, it’s best to consider any limitations to this task and how that might affect your overall project, like tall roofs. Consider hiring a Christmas light installer to place lights or decorations in hard-to-reach areas like roof peaks to avoid the risk of injury.

Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. 

To hang Christmas lights outside without nails, consider using alternatives like adhesive hooks, gutter clips, or even hot glue. These options allow you to secure lights to various surfaces without causing damage to your roof or siding. Be sure to clean and prepare the surface before applying these alternatives for better adhesion.

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. 

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.
