"Tom from Synergy did the bid for under cabinet lighting install, however sent someone else to do the job. Originally discussed with Tom that he would use a regular converter box inside the cabinet and place a dimmer switch on the wall, but the other guy he sent wasn't aware of this and placed the dimmer converter in the cabinet. This has resulted in us having to use the dimmer switch inside the cabinet instead of on a wall switch -- not what I requested. Also, I discussed with Tom installing an additional outlet in our kitchen during the bid process. After he left I noticed he did not include that on the written bid. The guy he sent didn't know about it either. The outlet was installed however. Overall, I was charged $95 additional over the bid and didn't get exactly what I wanted in regard to the dimmer switch for under cabinet lighting. Both electricians were very nice and professional, but there was definitely a communication problem in regard to the installation of the under cabinet lighting. Perhaps I should have clarified the issue more strongly, or perhaps I didn't understand. Either way, I'm happy with the lighting overall, but not 100%."

"This project was to improve the view from my basement windows.  I am in the final phase of finishing my basement into living area. As the interior space approaches completion, I realized I had a problem with the exterior space.
The window under the deck is constantly dirty on the outside.  When it rains, the water drips through the floorboards of the deck and splashes up on the window. I also realized that the grass clippings on the other two windows bothered me as
well.  The subdivision lawn service does not care which way they mow the grass and so I have clippings up on my windows and clippings in my air conditioner coil.  These things were not an issue for me before I converted the space.
I called the Landcaping Plus LLP and scheduled an appointment.  Kelly Tindall had recently
done work for my sister.  Kelly came out.  We discussed my concerns, my wants and looked at the space. The result of the consultation and many talks since is the plan she and her team executed on 1 August 2014. 
Kelly came by on 5 July 2014.  She measured everything and we laid out where the garden was planned.  She sprayed the turf to kill it before we planted.  We discussed plants and Kelly quoted me the price.  I decided on hostas and ferns with rock under the deck and mulch out in the garden area,  Plants used were
Winter creeper golden euonymus        
Winter Gem boxwoods                 
Weeping cherry                                            
Hydrangeas                                
Stella d?oro lilies                                      
Daisies                                                           
Garden phlox                                   
On go day, ! August 2014, Kelly and her team of 3 were here just after 7 am as promised.  They immediately started working under the deck, planting the ferns and hostas.  The rest of the plants were placed in the garden area according to the plan.  I also had Kelly put in an irrigation systems for the garden, mostly to make sure the hydrangeas got enough water.  About 10:30 am,  Kelly left to get more rock and the mulch.  Her team took a lunch break then. 
We ended up with a couple of extra plants and Kelly had her team plan those in my front yard garden area.  They were all done and the area cleaned up by 2 pm.
The plants Kelly provided were beautiful and high quality.
I no longer have a muddy window or windows full of grass clippings.  Instead, I have a beautiful garden to enjoy from my basement or from my deck.

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in East Carondelet, 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.
