"Hoosier Window Washers did a fabulous job. Three guys did the job and used ladders even for third story windows. The next day, a neighbor down the street had her windows washed, and the crew was using a pole to wash the high windows. Booh! The Hoosier cleaners even offered to put the screens back up even though it wasn't part of the job. This was an unexpected and appreciated surprise! The crew was very detail oriented and even did the insides of storm doors, which I didn't expect them to do. They were friendly, and the price couldn't have been beat. They gave me a 10% discount because I was a new customer. I will definitely go with this company the next time around! See you next spring, Hoosier!"

"Extremely happy.  We used this company to purchase and set up Christmas lighting for our church. The quality of the lighted swags and wreaths were great.  The church looked beautiful and was tastefully adorned for the Christmas season. <br /> Tim and Karin were very extremely responsive and professional through all phases of our experience.  Requested dates for set up and removal were completed without any issues.  We did have two light bulbs that went out and they immediately responded to replace the bulbs to our satisfaction.  We are looking forward to next year. <br />"

"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."

"I called to set-up an appointment and they were busy, so it took a while to get an appointment.  The first appointment the person did not show because of the rain but did not call either.  I had to call to find out what happened.  They rescreened 6 windows where the screens had rippen or torn.  Service was good for the money. <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Chesterton, IN

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.
