I’m a hardworking person who doesn’t like to leave projects half finished or looking sloppy, I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I’ve always fixed and built almost everything I needed myself and I take pride in being self sufficient. I’ve been an electrician for a year and half now and before that I was fabricating aerators for private residences. I have a wife and two children, so I can handle the chaos of a whole house remodel even if you decide to alter any details halfway through.

"They installed a retaining wall on one side of my front yard. The backyard was a jungle and the remove everything and planted 50+ plants and bushes. The front yard also was designed and the plants installed by their team. I will be adding more lights this Christmas. It is enjoyable to have them instal the lighting, take them down and store them until the next year. <br /> <br />In February they trim all my bushes, trimmed back dead foliage, remove leaves in both the front and backyards. For $75. They have me on an auto spring treatment plan for mulch and weed spay. <br />"

"They are very busy and took a little while to make it on their schedule, but worth the wait. Talked to several companies before we decided on them. Not many companies could handle a tree that large. They were $1000 cheaper than the other service. Came with a large crane, chipper and stump grinder. Had a very professional and efficient crew, about 5 men. Wanted to keep the wood for fire wood and they moved the logs for us. It was amazing to watch. Was here about 9:00 to 5:00 with all work completed. They did a great job and will hire them again. The owner is an ex-marine which is a plus and he was on site the entire job. <br />"

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