"Russel Williams Home Services is my "go to" window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and Christmas lighting. I've been using them for years and I won't use anyone else. They do a great job and are very reasonably priced (with discounts for repeat customers). Most importantly, they're incredibly responsive with great customer service. I highly recommend their services."

"We loved our Limo ride with Travis driving us around the city seeing Christmas lights. There were six of us and plenty of space to have our treats and drinks. The ride was very comfortable and the inside of the limo was clean and beautiful interior/lights. The tour was 3 hours and took us to some amazing light displays. Our driver, Travis, was very accommodating, informative and stopped to allow photo ops. I would highly recommend this as a Christmas tradition."

"  Beginning in late 2015, I remodeled the entire lower level of my home which included a complete kitchen replacement.  I met with a few interior designers before I found one I was comfortable with in Sue Hunter.  Every designer I met with previously was very determined to remove a particular wall that happened to be a structural support wall of my 2 story home, and a few seemed to think good design was to cram as many cabinets as possible into the space available.  Thankfully, I found Sue on Angie's list.  I felt removing the support wall was overkill for my home.  It is a 1969 2 story.  Sue and I agreed to work with the home's architecture and not try to make it something it wasn't, although we did take out one non-essential wall. <br>  Sue took the time to listen to my thoughts and to look at the ideas I had collected to get a sense of my sense of style.  Then we worked collaboratively through her sketches and email exchanges with photos and ideas.  She guided me away from some ideas, and but still let my style come through. <br>  Next we worked with ProSource to draft specific kitchen designs.  We also selected samples of materials and ultimately selected cabinets, counter top, flooring, etc.  She continued to check in through the construction which took about 6 - 8 weeks.  After construction was complete and the flooring and counter tops were in, Sue assisted me with color selection for paints.  She and I also shopped online for lighting fixtures. <br>  A few weeks later Sue met me at HOM Furniture (one of a few stores she has a relationship with) to select furnishings.  The process went very quickly and very smoothly and only took about 2 hours.  Again she let my style come through.  Some things she vetoed and some things I vetoed.  But I ultimately got the look I wanted. <br>  Finally a few weeks after the furniture was in, I met Sue at Home Goods for an accessory shopping trip.  This was a very helpful service as well.  Unfortunately, I'm still hanging much of the pictures, art work, and shelving so it's not complete in the photos. <br>  I did not pay Sue directly for much of her work as she was paid a commission from ProSource where I purchased the cabinets, counter tops, and flooring.  She also was paid by commission for the furniture I purchased at HOM.  I only paid Sue directly for her time in helping me selected accessories, which was an hourly rate. <br>  I am very pleased with the final remodeling results and I was very pleased with the experience of working with Sue Hunter.  She worked with me and didn't completely dictate her design.  She did her job and did often save me from myself, by telling me directly that some of my ideas were not very good ideas.  I'm glad she did.  I don't do design for a living and she does.  But, in the end I got the look I desired.  My investment of time with Sue was well worth it, and I would recommend her design services without reservation."

"Preston and his crew did a nice job for us. I won't hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to others. Had the deck completed in about 4 weeks following initial contact. <br />"

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

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Elk River, MN

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.
