"We reached out to Bright Services on a Tuesday with significant ice damming issues in 2/2021. Deven answered the phone right away and was able to have a team on site the next day. They were prompt and kept us up to date throughout the process and the job was completed the same day. I would highly recommend Bright Services"

"In close to 10 man-hours, the cleaners did a fair-quality sweep, mop, dust and bathroom cleaning for a small (1100 sq foot) house. <br /> However, they were contracted for their 'deep clean' package, which in writing was to include baseboard cleaning, interior window cleaning, oven cleaning and refrigerator clean-out, none of which were done. <br /> They did respond to my complaints and will come back to fix this; however, for the both the original time and cost, and time out of my schedule to address this and arrange for a second round of cleaning, it does not seem worth it to me. <br /> This is a pricey service, takes along time to perform, and very little done for the time and price. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Barb, Ira, and the crew are the hardest working people I have ever had at my house! They are prompt and do an amazing job- installing new plants, removing old plants, and weeding. I feel very proud of my yard now . Barb and Ira are also very very knowledgeable about trees and plants. They gave me very good directions on what to keep and what I could afford to get rid of. Their prices are a little high, but , I think, fair for the quality of work they do. I have recommended them to friends. And I will continue to do so."

"I go to AC Moore for holiday supplies. It is a craft store that I use. As long as I buy their products, they will not charge to make it. The girls that do the flower arrangements are fantastic. I have bought stuff from somewhere else and have taken everything to them. As long as I bought stuff that she needed to make this, I did not have to pay for it to be made. They have coupons, and discounts. I am very satisfied. Best time to go is in the morning or later at night. They also do picture framing. "

"Annie is amazing!! I needed to downsize - I had a huge storage space I was paying rent on, and my office at work was also filled with overflow from my apartment. With Annie's help, I purged over 50% of my stuff, got rid of the storage space, and brought everything home from the office. Annie came both to my home and to the storage space, and was always helpful, kind, and patient. She gave excellent counsel on whether or not I should keep certain items, and helped me find space for all that I did keep. Her rates are very reasonable, and the service is excellent! I will be calling her again when I need more help!"

"Service was good. They came out to give me an estimate the same day that I called. The next morning they were calling to confirm I wanted the service done and they came out that afternoon. I had an emergency and had to leave before the job was completed. They emailed me my receipt the next day. I would definitely recommend this provider. <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."

"Anthony and his team have been awesome. We found them on Angie's List this past fall and haven't looked back. First we had them help with leaf clean-up and some fall pruning and plantings. During that project we talked about holiday decorating and Anthony was great about helping plan. He and his crew tackled the job enthusiastically and pulled off a lighting array we could never have done ourselves. To their credit, they worked some long hours in some very inclement weather - they were determined to get us ready for the holiday in advance of their committed date. When's the last time any contractor got done early?!! These guys did! So you can understand that when we needed help with all the snow this winter, Anthony was our go-to guy. While we chose to manage a few snow falls ourselves, Anthony did the heavy lifting and was always available when we really needed him. During one of our many overnight snowfalls, my wife woke up in the morning, looked out the window, and told me...hey there must have been elves here, your sidewalks and driveway are all clear. These guys are just awesome. One of the things I like best is the great communications - we never wonder what's happening because we're kept well informed. We're looking forward to having their help this Spring. We're planning some work we've been putting off for years because we've found THE right contractor for us! And if you live in the NorthEast, you know Spring can't get here soon enough... Thanks Creative Lawn Care and Landscaping! <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Downingtown, PA

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.
