"Brighterday did a really great job installing my permanent Christmas lights! They came my to my house two days after our initial call, installed the lights without issue, and were very responsive. When we noticed a small issue later, they came back out and fixed it immediately."

"I received a call back within an hour. They sent a young man the next day. He worked diligently to put my Christmas lights around the columns on my front porch and across the areas between the columns. He set the timer. Everything worked, all was lit. It did not take him long to complete the job."

"Preston did an outstanding job at my Airbnb rental! He installed a new light fixture, completed some much-needed plumbing repairs, and handled several electrical tasks with professionalism and care. He was punctual, respectful of the space, and made sure everything was done safely and up to code. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations, and it was clear he takes pride in what he does. I would absolutely recommend Preston to anyone in need of reliable, skilled handyman services. Looking forward to working with him again in the future! "

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Cincinnati, OH

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.
