"He drew it and took pics of himself doing it otherwise we wouldn't believe even drew it. It looks like a photograph. We've never seen anything like it. He's amazing. He has also hand drawn pictures of my wedding and of my grand father for his funeral service."

"The 50 amp double pole breaker for my pool pump and pool heat pump (chiller) tended to trip off after five minutes or so.  The hot weather was such that without the chiller working, the pool was too hot to enjoy (94 degrees!).  The technician arrived and simply replaced the 50 amp double pole breaker.  I thought there should have been some way to measure the amperage through each of the two circuits (pool pump, and chiller circuits) but I guess not.  He just replaced the 50 amp double pole and charged me $130.54.  Seemed a little expensive, but I was confident that would solve the problem, but it didn't.  Five minutes after the technician left, the breaker tripped.  I reset it and in five minutes it tripped again.  I called the office and they said they would send the technician back.  He came back and installed a separate 25 amp breaker and changed the wiring so that the chiller had its own 25 amp breaker and the pool pump a 50 amp breaker. He charged me another $189.39 for this return visit. I realize this all sounds confusing, I know it all seems a little confusing to me.  At any rate, with this new set-up, everything seemed to work, at least the breaker no longer tripped after five minutes.  Problem is, the chiller still failed to chill.  I believe there may be a problem with the chiller compressor?  So, I called Sutherland again and asked them to just put it all back to its original configuration and I would then call the pool company that installed the system to come out and look at it.  I knew that if the pool installing company saw the jury-rigged circuit breaker set-up they may refuse to take the responsibility to make the repair.  I don't have a lot of confidence in this pool installer company.  So, anyway, the technician returned and restored the switch to its original condition, but maybe not to its true original configuration, because unlike before, the breaker no longer trips and the chiller still fails to chill. The third and final visit cost $117.70.  The total cost to repair a failing 50 amp double pole circuit breaker was $437.63.  I don't know a thing about what this should have cost me and maybe I got a bargain, but in my humble, ignorant opinion it was way too expensive and I felt compelled to write this negative review.   $437.63 is too much to R&R a circuit breaker, and the initial problem remains. <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Brandon, MS

If climbing ladders or handling wiring isn’t in your comfort zone, hire a pro. Look for installers who post clear per-foot or hourly rates, carry insurance, and have solid reviews. Comparing at least three quotes helps you spot fair pricing without sacrificing safety. Skipping credentials to save a few dollars can cost you far more in repairs, so pick a qualified team and enjoy a safe, eye-catching display.

Yes, booking between February and September often scores lower rates because demand is light and pros have open calendars. You might even negotiate a discount package that includes removal or storage. If the budget is tight, ask whether a handyperson or an off-season permanent-light install makes sense for your home and timeline.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. 

For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice way to thank your installer for a job well done. Most homeowners offer 10% to 20% of the total bill or round up to an even figure if the crew exceeds expectations. A small extra goes a long way toward showing appreciation—and may help you snag priority booking next season.

Yes, you can install holiday lights yourself if your property layout is straightforward and your electrical system is secure. Homeowners who are confident in their ability to safely handle wiring and use proper equipment can save money with a DIY approach. 

However, it is crucial to test all outlets thoroughly and secure the proper ladders and safety gear before starting. Careful planning and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect yourself and your home while achieving an attractive display.

Start by clearing the area of loose debris, damaged shingles, and anything that could trip you up. Test outdoor outlets and, if you’re unsure, bring in an electrician. Use a sturdy extension ladder (or scaffolding for very high spots) and never work alone—having a helper steady the ladder is non-negotiable. Taking these simple steps keeps you, your roof, and your new lights safe.
