"I was so pleased by the work done at Jeff Mitchell Lighting Company! The whole process was a delight - the crew was funny, polite, and very knowledgeable. I was worried that the install would tear up yard, but you can't even tell where it happened. It looks amazing and they were easy to work with!"

"The owner, Jeff Tullis personally came to our house with an estimate and to be sure we had the correct lights. His crew was the most professional we have ever seen, calling in advance, highly respectful and totally professional. The work was performed on budget, and actually completed 1 week early. The outcome was perfect.Jeff was terrific, constantly checking with us and his installers to be sure the job was done correctly and to our satisfaction.Our house is now the envy of our neighbors, and looks beautiful when the lights go on at dusk."

"The most professional service I have ever used. They lighted each branch of my trees and wrapped the evergreens too. Our roof is steep and very large with many rooflines for lighting. It looks incredible. People are stopping to take pics and praising their great work. Their customer service is so responsive. I had some lights out and they came back to fix right away. I know I will be using them every home holiday season in the future. If I could upload a picture I would! Thank you for a fantastic job."

"It went very well. I contacted this artist to create a stunning and lifelike self portrait. I then sent photos and payment. In less than a week I had a stunning rendition of myself in both pencil and watercolor. Lance is always courteous and professional. I highly recommend his services to everyone and will do business with him again soon!"

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.
