"Install was done ahead of the date promised. A couple of lights were burned out on the first date and one bulb was missing following the install. The price seemed a bit on the high side and it was odd that they quoted a range of price but then charged the high end of the range before the install was done which was not what was originally communicated."

"What they do then is to charge you for the lights and installation the first year and then they come and take them down and next year they'll send you a letter asking if you want their service again. When my husband first got here, he just got a new Cadillac and he didn't realized that it had this feature where you hold the button down for 4 seconds all the widows go down and with the storm, he has water in his car and they dried it up for him and did an excellent job. It didn't smell or anything afterwards. If you set a car in the sun after it's been wet, you can tell that it's been wet but this did not. They  are very courteous, prompt and when they tell you they'll be there they'll be there. He did break a light and he made a special trip out just to replace that one bulb. It had to be special order from Kansas city, got it and brought it back."

"Met with Dana on a few occasions to provide flowers for funerals. Dana offered a lot of suggestions during our appointment. The arrangements were at the funeral home for the services when we arrived. When I saw them, I was happy with the arrangements she suggested and I thought that the cost of the arrangements were very reasonable. <br /> <br />"

"Doug was to arrive at 10 am, but called to let me know he was running a little late. Showed up at the time we agreed too after talking and started to work immediately. I asked him if he would replace an outside spot light while he was up on the corner of my home. He said no problem. (Light was about 2 1/2 stories). He finished all work and never took a break. Very nice man and would definitely hire him again. Does very nice job."

"They always do a great job. One of the things I like about them, is that they're off duty firemen, so you know they're safe when they're up on the ladders cleaning. I've used them for a few years, and now they come out quarterly. They even work Saturdays, which is wonderful. Their pricing is very reasonable and I would recommend them to anyone."

"Excellent!! Rigdon has cleaned our gutters a couple times in 2020 as we have tall trees that put leaves on the roof. They cleaned the gutters and made sure that the downspouts were all clear. They did an outstanding job removing the leaves and debris. Their staff is courteous, easy to work with and professional. We have hired them the last several years to do gutter cleaning and will hire them again next year."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Excelsior Springs, MO

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.
