"It went much better then expected. They did a great job. They even added a little to make the finishing touches look that much better. When I came home from work that night I was so happy with the work. My wife and kids and Nieghbors all loved it. I priced others. This was the fairest and most professional. They were seriously good. The house was left clean durning installation and after they took them down. I give them 10 out of 10. I don't like recommending people, but these people were fair and honest. I hope they remain that way. I look forward to doing business with them for years to come. They helped make the holiday feel like a holiday."

"They were expensive and I felt like they did not get right to the problem. They did know how to fix everything but before doing that it seemed like they were looking for more work for themselves. I wanted them to get right to the problem and not waste any time."

"They came on time, worked very hard, and finished the job in one day. The work is done very well and they took the time to explain what they did as well as show me the system they installed and how to use it. Would definitely use them again if I have any issues or needed more work done!"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Fishers Island, NY

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.
