"TJ and his crew are knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They arrived on time and completed the repair in the time they estimated. The leak over the garage door trim was stopped and the area has been waterproofed. They did a great job, cleaned up the work area and removed all debris. The repair cost was reasonable. The water leaking in the garage area whenever it rained was a nightmare. We are thankful for professionals like TJ. We would hire him again for other repairs. Thank you."

"I hired Chuck to help restore and paint my 110 year old home. This house was no small project as it is four stories high, includes 3 dormers, and had an ugly peeling paint job all over. Not only that but I wasn't sure what colors I wanted to use. I was very lucky to get Chuck and his crew. I've dealt with several contractors who do okay work but I could tell Chuck had a passion for helping me restore my home. He gave me several suggestions out of the Benjamin Moore catalogue of historical colors where I found a set I really liked. He had about a 4wk lead time until he was ready to start my home and during this he gave all sorts of tips on how to do some work myself and even bought me the supplies (Duramax paint, rollers, buckets, 5 in 1 tool) his crew would use so I could do some DIY. This helped me immensely and I got a good bit of work done. He showed up when he said he would begin the job and he and his crew worked tirelessly for nine days straight. This included a lot of scraping and prep work, some wood repair for damaged clapboards, painting my gutters and down spouts, and extensive caulking of the siding and around every window (20+ widows on the house). They put 50+ tubes of caulk into my home to seal it and they had to rent a lift to reach the dormers and top of the house. There were times when those guys worked 8am to 8pm. These guys spent a lot of time on the prep to get the surface right and a lot of time around each window to seal it properly. The end result was beautiful restored home. Chuck did extras for me as well including fixing my antique front door, added a new front and rear porch light that looked historical to match the house, reattached a fallen gutter, and added a long horizontal board along the bottom which not only protected some of the weaker clapboard but also was a good aesthetic choice. More over my house has a lot of trim and Chuck had the idea to paint some trim the body color so there were less lines overall and it really looks amazing. The bottom line is Chuck has been doing this for a long time and has a lot of experience and it really shows. His crew was solid and worked very hard. They didn't just do the minimum but added some nice details and extras and having someone that cares about their work goes a long way. They cleaned up nice and we had no disputes about labor or payment. I would personally rehire them for additional work and would also highly recommend them for future jobs."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Gerrardstown, WV

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.
