Christmas Light Installation, How the Service Actually Works|Hiring a Christmas Light Installer? What to Look For

The case for not doing it yourself

The job seems small in the driveway, then it takes a Saturday. Between the height, the weather, and the strand that dies the day after you finish, plenty of homeowners hand it off.

What the service includes

A proper Christmas light installation covers more ground than most people expect. It starts with a design for the house: what gets outlined, which trees get wrapped, how it looks from the road. Then installation, which is where the ladders stop being your problem. Then maintenance during the season, since something always needs a look. And then takedown, then off season storage, so nothing comes back into your garage.

Storage matters more than people think

Most homeowners budget the setup and forget the January half. Takedown and off season storage are part of how they work, so your attic stays empty.

Residential and commercial Christmas lighting

Home installs are about the front of the house and the yard. For a business, holiday lighting is about being seen, which is why storefronts, entries and patios get the attention. The install schedule is https://evercrestlighting.com/about/ the part that takes planning, since most businesses want the ladders gone before the doors open.

What to settle before you book

Be clear about which parts of the property are included, because "the front of the house" means two different things to two people. Sort out whose lights they are before the install. Settle the takedown in the same conversation as the install.

Reading a Christmas lighting quote

One line and a price is not something you can weigh against another company. It should say what gets lit specifically enough that nobody is guessing: the roof edge, the porch, which trees, which walks. It should say whose lights these are, since that determines where they go after the season. It should say whether takedown is included and where they are stored between seasons. And it should say who to call during the season if a section goes dark.What December looks like when somebody else does the work is the part worth picturing. A crew shows up on a scheduled day, the display goes in, and you were at work. After the season they come back and take it down, and nothing lands in your attic.

The other option: a permanent system

For anyone who repeats this every season, a permanent system is a fair question to raise. A permanent LED system goes in once along the roofline and stays, handles the holidays through an app, and gives you warm white the rest of the year. EverCrest Lighting installs both. The consultation is free. They serve Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina from Greenville. Call (864) 252-1732 or email [email protected].
