How to choose holiday lighting installers
- 1
Ask whether lights are included
Some prices are labor only with your lights. Others include rental or new lights. Compare the same thing.
- 2
Ask about takedown and storage
Removal after the season is often part of a package but sometimes extra. Ask before you book.
- 3
Ask about service calls
If a strand goes dark in December, will they come fix it? Ask how fast and whether it's free.
- 4
Book early
Installers fill their schedules in the fall. Early bookings get more dates to choose from.
FAQ
Questions about holiday lighting installers
When should holiday lights go up?
Many homeowners have them installed in November so they're ready by Thanksgiving. Book in early fall.
Is it cheaper to use my own lights?
Usually, yes, since you pay only for labor. Pro installers often use commercial-grade lights that last longer.
Will installers damage my roof or gutters?
Good installers use clips instead of nails or staples. Ask how they attach the lights.
Are permanent holiday lights worth it?
They cost more up front but can save years of install fees if you decorate every year.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
