"Paul did a very good job. This is his busy season and I had to wait awhile to get the job done. And I had to call a second time after a number of weeks. But I do recommend him and will use his service again next year."

Hey, I'm Lance! I became a professional online portrait artist in 2006 after my family was taken from me in a tornado losing my mother, father, brother, and son. Twenty-eight lives were taken as well as all their possessions, like mine. I drew from destroyed photos their families so they could have memorial portraits of them at the funerals and for the rest of time. Since then I have made a living traveling the country doing shows and drawing from photos you email me on line. There is NO GIFT more unique that brings more tears of joy to a loved one's eyes like one of these. Nothing. I've seen it time and time again. I make it affordable to anyone who's ever wanted one of these. Paintings with half the detail of these can cost upwards of $30,000 limiting something like this from hanging in living rooms for families to the rich only. Not anymore. Here's how it works..\n Simply email me your favorite picture or pictures to aarontristan39@gmail.com with a brief description of what you would like done. The bigger and clearer the picture the better the drawing. I will start an initial sketch right away and take pictures of it and show it to you. Please email them quickly if possible, because the holidays are coming and I get busy. Once the initial sketch is done. I usually take something down on it. It's a lot of work doing the initial sketch. This varies on the cost of the drawing which we will discuss right away.\n Drawings are usually 175 for 9x12's\n 225 for 11x14's\n 275 for 14x17's\n After this process is done I continue with your art piece sending you photos on line all the way through which many people find a lot of fun. I am also friends on Facebook with almost every person I've ever drawn for as well and would like to be your friend as well if you would like that. I post them on FB at your discretion. It makes me way more legit to people as well. \n The Prices vary with the art because of the size of the drawing as well as the number of faces. The number of faces DOES NOT double the cost. Usually an extra face is added depending on the size from anywhere between 25 and 50, but I do deals on these more than anything, so please call me about it at .(850) 691-3976

"Great experience. Susan came in prepared and walked though the space, got to know us, and help collaborate with us on color schemes to match our remodeled basement. Definitely worth the money and I’d hire her again in the future."

"Last year, our front yard died and we called Salsbery Bros. We were told we had a fungus in the front yard and they would need to reseed. We signed a contract for them to get rid of the fungus, reseed our yard, and provide ongoing maintenance. They were supposed to start early Spring (we were told we'd be one of the first jobs since we signed the contract last Autumn). The day they were supposed to start, someone called and said they wouldn't be out because rain was in the forecast (didn't rain a drop that day). Reseeding took place a few weeks later. We watered (as instructed) but called more than once to let them know the new grass was dying, not growing in some places, and the weed that overtook our yard last year was back. Early on, I sensed Salsbery was not providing adequate lawn care, and knew we would eventually be blamed. A customer shouldn't have to repeatedly call if the lawn is being properly monitored and maintained. Three weeks ago, a Salsbery rep looked at our yard and told me the company would make things right. He checked the ground and said it looked like it was adequately watered (at that time). He said the Spring was too hot and the seeds didn't have a chance to survive - never mentioned we were at fault. Yesterday, a Salsbery rep (we think the same one; since I wasn't home I can't be sure) told my husband we were at fault; we hadn't watered. We also now have a fungus in the back yard (which we didn't have last year). When my husband asked why we have a fungus (when they were supposedly maintaining the yard), he was told fungicide was extra and we would have to pay for it. That's fine; we understand we need to pay for something that isn't included in the original contract. The back yard has had dead grass spots for weeks; why didn't one of the men treating the yard mention this to us or to a Salsbery manager for follow up? If Salsbery provided adequate lawn care service, why is our yard overrun with weeds? Why is there a new fungus? The yard looks worse now than it did before they started. Couple suggestions for Salsbery: 1) Get your stories straight before talking to clients. What changed in 3 weeks? We were told your company would make things right and then (a few weeks later) blamed. 2) Make sure the people doing the lawn care don't comment about what's being done wrong. 3) Communicate with your customers and you won't be annoyed when they repeatedly call asking when someone will be out to check on the yard. 4) Make sure the client has specific instructions how to care for the yard between maintenance visits. Don't assume they know and don't blame them when the yard dies because you failed to tell them how to properly care for it between visits. 5) If you are using sub-contractors, hire better ones who care about your reputation 6) Don't put a flag advertising your service in a yard that is the disgrace of the neighborhood. And finally, have the integrity to do the work you are paid to do. We can't prove we watered, but it's hard to dispute our yard is full of weeds and areas that weren't dying before are now. If Salsbery honored the contract by providing ongoing maintenance - as they were paid to do - how are we to blame?"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Clayton, 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.
