Christmas Lighting Installation: Design, Install, Takedown and Storage|Hiring a Christmas Light Installer? What to Look For

The case for not doing it yourself

Hanging Christmas lights sounds simple until you are on the ladder in a cold wind. Add the second story, a roof with a real pitch to it, and weather that does not cooperate, and the math changes.

The parts of the job

The job breaks into a few pieces, and the last two are the ones people forget to ask about. It starts with a design for the house: what gets outlined, which trees get wrapped, how it looks from the road. Then the install, done by a crew with the right ladders and the right hardware. Then upkeep through December. And then takedown in January and storage until next year, so nothing comes back into your garage.

What happens in January

Everybody plans for putting them up. Fewer people think about the takedown. EverCrest Lighting handles takedown and keeps the lights in off season storage, so next year starts with a phone call instead of a tangled box.

Residential and commercial Christmas lighting

Home installs usually cover the roofline, the entry and a tree or two. For a business, the display is doing marketing work, which is why storefronts, entries and patios get the attention. The install schedule is 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, since a general description leaves room for surprise. Agree outdoor lighting greenville sc on who owns the lights, since that decides where they live after the season. And agree on what January looks like before anything goes up.

What should be on the page

One line and a price is not something you can weigh against another company. Scope should be written down: which rooflines, which trees, which entryways. It should say who owns the materials, because that decides what happens in January. It should say who takes them down and where they are stored between seasons. And it should say who to call during the season if a section goes dark.The realistic version is short. A crew shows up on a scheduled day, the display goes in, and you did not touch a ladder. After the season the crew returns for the takedown, and the boxes do not come back to your garage.

The other option: a permanent system

If you are booking this every December, it is worth asking about permanent lighting once. Permanent lighting is one install that covers the holidays and the rest of the calendar too.
