"Cleared out a decades worth of dirty garden rock/fabric and shrubs at our church. After we finished replanting the area, Christian, the owner, returned later with his crew and laid down new fabric and rock. Hardworking respectful crew. Will be putting in a good word for them as I update the congregation."

Customers say: Quick response

"Sonney came and did our windows and I am so pleased. GREAT work. He was super kind, friendly, and just fantastic with our pup when he was inside with us and the dog. Our pup can be a handful sometimes and the fact that this didn’t bother him at all was a cherry on top! He cleaned both top and main floors, inside and out, cleaned up after himself, and was very courteous. He played some light music which we loved, too! Really just a great guy and great job. We are satisfied and would recommend! Hope to hire them again for the next time we need our windows cleaned."

"We had 4 separate bids on our lighting project and chose Holiday Lighting & Design based on their competitive pricing, professionalism and friendliness. Our lights were custom strung and hung and looked great. Cords were creatively hidden and we had a beautifully decorated home for the holidays."

Holiday Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can synchronize Christmas lights with music to create a DIY light show. To do this, you will need several components. For hardware, you'll need standard holiday lights, decorations, lawn ornaments, tools, outdoor-rated extension cords, a computer, and a light show control system or digital controller. You will also need specialized software to program the show; popular options include Light-O-Rama (LOR), Vixen, xLights, and Animated Lights. Some, like Vixen and Animated Lights, are considered more beginner-friendly. The process involves using the software to program your lights, choosing an audio method such as speakers or an FM broadcast, and testing the entire system to make sure it's working correctly before the show.

Between seasons, inspect cords for damage, replace burnt-out bulbs, and clean lighting fixtures to prevent dirt buildup. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions will extend the lights' lifespan and minimize repairs or replacements when redeployed.

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. 

The cost to have your house decorated for Christmas depends on the extent of your holiday vision. Interior decorators charge between $50 and $150 per hour on average, so if your decorations are minimal, you could pay as little as $200 for a couple of hours of decorating. Interior decorators might also bill $5 to $12 per square foot, or a flat rate of $500 to $1,300 per room. You can also pay to have your Christmas tree professionally decorated for an average of $200 to $600. Contact a local interior decorator for a specific quote.

Considering the pros and cons of hiring a professional holiday light installer can help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages:
