"I can honestly say that they provided a white glove, eye to detail job. Their power washing was a two-part process, with a light chemical spray, then a power washing. We have important and delicate shrubs and plants all around the base of the house, so I was concerned that they not be damaged. They were completely unharmed. This really was a job done right the first time. We also have a very difficult area of the house that I have never been able to get to. They were willing to climb up a portion of the lower roof to get that done perfectly. Their staff was very experienced and accommodating. In 20 years of power washing this house myself, our house has never been this clean! We are extremely pleased with their work."

"At first glance, the house looked great after it was cleaned. Came back a few days later to make sure everything was done correctly?. A lot of things were missed. No cabinets were wiped out or vacuumed. Exterior of fridge wasn?t touched at all, still had years worth of dust on the top. The inside of both the microwave and oven weren?t even touched. Those are just the major items? no need to list out everything here. The one thing that showed a night and day difference was the carpet but still that didn?t look amazing. I paid for a deep clean move out service and instead got a surface level clean you?d expect from a normal cleaning. Not satisfied at all as I?ll have to have someone else come fix what they didn?t do before a tenant can move in. Reached out to Carlos to discuss the issues but no response from him after payment was sent. Not sure how that is helpful with retaining customers but whatever. I?d give zero stars if I could."

"We got to work with Andy, the initial project was preplacing the old deck and 'patio' with a new patio - their work totally transformed the backyard the work is superb, amazing attention to detail, and very thoughtful in approaching how the patio would flow around thew existing very venerable oaks to ensure the longevity of the patio and the trees. After this project we got to work with Andy again in preparing the house for sale - my style was 'chaos garden' and needed to get rolled back to tidy suburbs. Andy came up with a plan that totally tamed the chaos in only two days and left the grounds neat, professional and ready for the new owners to make it their own. We are looking forward to getting to work with Andy again on a patio project at our new home and will be using Oriole for our hardscaping and landscaping needs in the future"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Glen Allen, VA

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.
