Excavating, skid loader work, driveways, sidewalks, patios,, and pads, gravel, asphalt(blacktop), concrete, fencing, and land clearing. I have been in business for 30 years and now my dad has finally retired, so I have extra help and need to keep him busy. I love what I do and have low overhead, so I can keep my prices extremely competitive.

"Proceed with extreme caution and buy full insurance!!!! If you use them, get full insurance and literally have someone stand there in the truck and watch them place every item. We provided them with bubble wrap and tons of blankets and they used 25% of it. We were moving cross country and I hired them to load our stuff up onto a trailer. They destroyed 60% of our things. They literally put our dining room table on its side on the trailer floor with NOTHING underneath it, not even a blanket. It scraped along the trailer floor all they way across the country. Almost every single piece of furniture we own was scratched severely and we had to literally throw away 30% of our furniture. We had two men and a truck unload us in our destination city and they all felt so bad for us. They said this was literally the worst packing job they had ever seen and would sign statements or whatever we needed to help plead our case or get some money back. When I called I got transferred to their “supervisor” or claims handler and she was completely defensive right out of the gate and stonewalled me Bc my wife signed the contract after everything was loaded. We didn’t know that would void everything. How do you know you have a claim until after you find out when it’s unloaded? Lesson learned. If you have a different option I would recommend that. If not use them for 100% of everything and get full insurance!!!!"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Chana, IL

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.
