Professional Christmas Light Installation, Design, Install, Takedown and Storage|Hiring a Christmas Light Installer?

The case for not doing it yourself

Hanging Christmas lights is fine right up until the second story. Between the height, the cold, and the strand that dies the day after you finish, hiring it out stops feeling like a luxury.

What the service includes

The job breaks into a few pieces, and the last two are the ones people forget to ask about. First a design, drawn for your house rather than pulled off a shelf. Then installation, which is where the ladders stop being your problem. Then maintenance through the season, because a strand will eventually act up. And then takedown, then off season storage, so nothing comes back into your garage.

What happens in January

Everybody plans for putting them up. Almost nobody plans for taking them down. Takedown and off season storage are part of how they work, so your attic stays empty.

Homes and businesses

At a house, the work is the roofline, the porch and the landscaping. Commercial holiday lighting is doing another job: a lit building pulls attention in a season when everybody is competing for it. The install schedule is the part that takes planning, since most businesses want the ladders gone before the doors open.

Nail these down first

Agree on what gets lit specifically: which rooflines, which trees, which entries. Agree on whether the materials are yours or theirs, since that decides where they live after the season. And agree on what January looks like before December.

What should be on the page

One line and a price is not https://griffinpxye205.currentvale.com/posts/eave-lighting-where-the-track-mounts-and-why-it-matters-why-permanent-lights-mount-at-the-eave-the-practical-reasons-the-roof-edge-explained-which-part-is-which something you can weigh against another company. Scope should be written down: the exact lines and features included. Material ownership should be in writing. Takedown and off season storage should be spelled out, not assumed. And it should say who to call during the season if a section goes dark.The realistic version is undramatic. You come home to a lit house, having spent the afternoon somewhere else. After the season the crew returns for the takedown, and nothing lands in your attic.

The other option: lights that stay up

If you are going to do this every single year, ask about permanent lighting at least once. A permanent LED system is installed once and left in place, does the holiday colors from your phone, and gives you warm white the rest of the year. EverCrest Lighting does both.
