Holiday Light Installation, What You Get When Somebody Else Hangs Them|Hiring a Christmas Light Installer?

Filed by @johnathanppvk463

The case for not doing it yourself

The job looks easy from the ground, then it takes a Saturday. Add the steep pitch, a roof with a real pitch to it, and the fact that December in the Upstate can be wet, and the math changes.

What the service includes

The job breaks into a few pieces, and the last one is the one people forget. First a design, based on your roofline and your yard. Then the install, handled by people who do this all season. Then upkeep through December. And then takedown in January and storage until next year, which is the part that keeps your attic empty.

Storage is the underrated part

Everybody thinks about the install. Almost nobody plans for taking them down. EverCrest Lighting takes it down at the end of the season and stores it off season, https://evercrestlighting.com/ so next year starts with a phone call instead of a tangled box.

Residential and commercial Christmas lighting

Home installs are about the front of the house and the yard. For a business, the display is doing marketing work, so the storefront and the entrance matter most. 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 what is in scope, because "the front of the house" means two different things to two people. Sort out ownership of the materials before the install. Settle the takedown in the same conversation as the install.

What should be on the page

A quote with one number and no detail is not enough to compare. Scope should be written down: the exact lines and features included. Material ownership belongs on the page. 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 undramatic. 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 the boxes do not come back to your garage.

The other option: lights that stay up

If you are booking this every December, ask about permanent lighting at least once. A permanent LED system goes in once along the roofline and stays, handles the holidays through an app, and doubles as everyday lighting the other eleven months. EverCrest Lighting does both. The consultation is free. They serve Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina from Greenville. Reach them at (864) 252-1732 or [email protected].

What is permanent outdoor lighting?

Permanent outdoor lighting is a fixed LED system installed along a building's roofline, eaves and architectural lines and left in place all year. The LEDs sit in a track that is color matched to the trim, and the system is controlled from a smartphone app. It replaces the seasonal strands that go up and come down each year.

Are the lights noticeable during the day?

The track is color matched to the trim or fascia and mounted tight along the edge of the roofline, so it is designed to stay discreet in daylight and read as part of the house rather than as decoration.
