Why pay for a professional Christmas light installation?

  Believe it or not, it’s almost always easier on your wallet to hire professionals to take care of your Christmas or holiday lighting. While hiring a spirited neighbor, friend, or local handyman may save you a few dollars up front, most don't carry the required insurance to cover themselves if anything is damaged or they get hurt on your property, leaving YOU financially responsible for their injuries and any resulting damages or lawsuits! If you think paying to have lights installed is expensive, just wait until you're buying someone a new back!

  A recent survey indicates that there are over 20,000 emergency room visits annually directly related to holiday decorating mishaps, and upwards of 200 deaths from the same! Can you think of a more heartbreaking way to spend the most magical time of the year?

  Let's put safety aside for a moment and talk about some more practical issues with holiday decor. For every person who truly loves hanging their own Christmas decorations (we're talking to you, Clark Griswold) there are five other people who see the chore as exactly that, a chore. Everyone wants a beautiful Christmas display, but no one wants to spend their days off or time after work hauling heavy ladders around, untangling last year's lights, or having near-death experiences on the roof. This season is about family and enjoying time with the people you love. The most valuable product we can offer you is your own time back. We aren't selling Christmas lights or installations; we're offering you quality time with your family. If you ask us, you can't put a price tag on holiday cheer. 

 The first step in our process is a consultation and estimate. If you already have a dream in mind, perfect! Bring it to us and we'll take care of everything else. Not sure exactly what would look best on your home? Thats no problem, either! We work with every client to design and build the perfect display for them. Choose your own colors, patterns, and intricacy levels. A gingerbread style layout in warm white is classic and adds incredible curb appeal to almost every home. Some people prefer a brighter white, or blues. Icicle lighting? How about those bushes? maybe we should add a wreath on that peak. Ohh, and put lights in that, too!  Red and green? EVERY COLOR WE HAVE?! It's all up to you, and we have no problem walking you through the pros, cons, and individual costs of every option to ensure you get that Winter Wonderland feel no matter what.   

  Fine, I couldn't convince you. You decided to hang your own lights. You did a pretty good job, I'll be honest. It's Christmas Eve, and your in-laws will be there tomorrow. Is that a dead strand of lights on the roof?! A burnt out bulb? DID THAT HANGER BREAK?!  I guess you get to choose between pulling that ladder back around the house and getting up there to fix it, or dealing with the shame and ridicule from the winner of the neighborhoods "Best Christmas Light Display" award three years in a row... Great. "Wait... why's that Codago Services truck next door? Didn't they finish installing the neighbors lights weeks ago?" Yes, we did! fortunately for your neighbor though, 24/7 emergency support and maintenance was INCLUDED in the cost of his lighting system. No matter how minute the issue, no matter when. If it's Christmas eve and you have a single bulb burn out, or its a week till the date and your landscapers just tossed your light timer into a woodchipper, we'll handle it! We offer a 24-hour service window for repairs. You call us, and we'll have a technician at your door (or on your roof) within 24 hours to fix it, period. No charge, no fee, no nonsense. Too bad you thought those guys weren't worth it, huh? Better go get your gloves on, that ladder isnt going to carry itself. Maybe next year? You might want to grab a business card before that truck leaves.

  Well now that you've enjoyed your holiday vacation with the family and New Years is passed its time for everyone's favorite part, taking all those lights back down! The same amount of work and risk it took to install them, but with no shiny reward! Yay! Yank them all down, ball them up (who rolls these things, we'll just deal with it next year when we hang them again), try your best not to break any bulbs or hangers, stuff them into 14 giant plastic totes or garbage bags and pack them into your attic, garage, shed, or basement, right? What could you do with that extra space? Could you build that home gym you've been dreaming about? An office for your small (or medium sized, go you!) business? A game room or home theater? Anything but a room filled with Christmas decorations! Once we've removed your lighting from the home, labeled each component, cord, bulb and neatly packed it all away for installation next year it gets stored in individual labeled totes in a secure climate-controlled facility away from water, heat, rodents, and rogue yard sales. This keeps your investment safe and gives you back all that wasted space in your home.  I don't know if you've kept up with the prices in the housing market lately, but that may be worth the cost of service alone!
