"They forgot to light part of the house per the agreed upon quote. They came out a few days later and added it but they used incandescent lights on that part instead of LED lights and they had a section that didn't work. So, we had to call again and wait a few more days to get that section changed. It is still incandescent, but at least they are all up and working now. At this price point, I expected higher attention to details."

"Overall experience was good. I found that this type of work is pricey for the amount of time needed, therefore the C on the price. Smart wash was 1 1/2 hr. behind schedule, therefore the C on punctuality. Scheduling the appointment was simple, we walked thru the job upon arrival, set up and clean up went quickly and the moss and algae was turning white before they departed. I'll know after one weeks time if everything is gone! The only clean up I needed to do was some over spray on a few windows which was no problem for me but if I had been older or not able to clean them....well!! Where bleach is a part of the solution used I did not want to leave the over spray on the windows. Happy with the work and professionalism of Levi and his help."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Fort Walton Beach, FL

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.
