Holiday Lighting Frequently Asked Questions
95% of our customers come through word-of-mouth referrals. We really don't consider ourselves salespeople and we don't have much interest in pushing products onto people who don't really want them. Our advertising budget is basically zero as we believe our product speaks for itself. We only install the highest quality lights on the market, and we will work with you to figure out exactly the best installation for your home and ensure it stays lit the entire season. If you’re looking for a completely hands-off custom holiday lighting solution from install/removal to storage, we are it.
We only install the nicest lights on the market. Our bulbs are rated at 50,000
hours and you can choose whatever color you like. We custom measure and cut lights
to fit each home perfectly - there will not be extra hanging lights or tangled extension
cords (even our extension cords are custom cut down to the inch). We also use several
styles of clips to install based on the part of the roof. So if you want them on the gutter,
shingles, roof ridge, everything will install perfectly!
We offer a turnkey service so everything you would expect to have in a perfectly lit home without lifting a finger.
After our estimate and consultation, we will custom cut and install every bulb exactly to
your home. Lights are set on a timer and it is completely hands off for you. Starting
January 2, we'll start removing lights while you drink hot chocolate.
We store the lights during the offseason and will inspect all lights to installing the following year.
Right now! We provide estimates all year long. Lights typically start going up in October through early December so it's best to get everything locked down before then.
Geographically, we install for homes and businesses in the Madison and
surrounding area. As far as where the lights go, buildings are our bread and butter. Most
of the time we install lights and wreaths on homes. We also do bushes, pathways, trees, and columns.
Call or email us and let us know. We will have them back up within 3 business days. And sooner in almost all cases. We also drive by completed homes when other installations are close by during the season - if we notice any lights out, we will address on the spot.
Each home and/or building is different. So a 3 story mansion will cost more than a single story ranch. Since the lights are custom cut to your home, the first year includes the cost of the material. Each
subsequent year, the only cost is for install/removal. Another great thing about our
service is how easy it is to add on new sections of the home each year. For example,
it's great to do the front of your house the first year and then start adding sides and roof
ridges each year after that. All we need is your address and we can send over a
recommendation and estimate!
We only install commercial grade bulbs and accessories (sockets, timers, etc.).
We've dropped these bulbs 3 stories onto concrete, screwed them back in, and watched
them light up. We only install this product because it's the best on the market and we
can guarantee the quality and reliability. Our clips that hold the bulbs are individually
fixed to each light ensuring a clean uniform fit on the entire home.
Our bulbs are rated for 50,000 hours. On average, lights stay
up from mid-November to early January - we'll call it 60 days. Most lights are on a timer
for 8 hours in the evening and 2 hours in the morning. After doing that math, your lights
should last about 83 years. We warranty everything for 5 years but realistically, you can expect much more life than that.
This is a pretty common question we get. Unfortunately, we cannot install your
own lights. We can guarantee our product because we supply it and know the quality.
And our lights are custom cut and fit exactly to your house for a super clean installation.
If something goes wrong with our lights, we take it upon ourselves to make it right as
soon as possible. However, we cannot guarantee the quality of other lights
