"I go to AC Moore for holiday supplies. It is a craft store that I use. As long as I buy their products, they will not charge to make it. The girls that do the flower arrangements are fantastic. I have bought stuff from somewhere else and have taken everything to them. As long as I bought stuff that she needed to make this, I did not have to pay for it to be made. They have coupons, and discounts. I am very satisfied. Best time to go is in the morning or later at night. They also do picture framing. "

"Fabulous! The two women arrived carrying all of their equipment. I left the house and they texted me in an hour or so to say they were finished. When I returned, my place was completely clean. Spotless! It looked and smelled wonderful and I didn't have to lift a finger. I would recommend Organic Home to anyone who needs house cleaning services."

"It was a pleasure to work with Barbara and her crew from start to finish.  Barbara visited my home within a reasonable time after I contacted her and provided me with a sketch of some of the ideas we discussed.  She was very helpful with plant suggestions, as I am not too knowledgeable on the subject.  We were in contact frequently before the installation and she was very good about responding to us in a reasonable time. <br /> The installation itself went really well and the landscaping looks better than we could have imagined.  The crew was very knowledgeable and worked very hard, managing their time well.  They really went above and beyond our expectations and were very professional. They even moved several large boulders - which had previous been used for seating around a fire pit - and placed them in the front of our home in the flower beds. The result is fantastic and it feels like a whole new house. <br /> The prices was also very reasonable for all that they did during the day they were here.  I highly recommend Garden Restoration and Maintaining! <br />"

"Job went well overall - there were a few things that had to be tweaked during the course of the job (change orders), but they were very responsive overall. The quality of the work is good. They got the bulk of the work done in a timely fashion, which was a challenge given much other major work that was going on in the house at the same time. They also pulled all necessary permits and got the inspections completed. One area where they could improve is in the the rough patch up of holes cut during the rewire - while they said the patch would be rough, it was much rougher than I had expected - but I was getting the house repainted anyhow so no big deal. If you work with them you might want to consider bypassing the rough patch and having your own drywall/patch person do the close up. Generally they were very good about minimizing damage to our old plaster walls though."

"He drew it and took pics of himself doing it otherwise we wouldn't believe even drew it. It looks like a photograph. We've never seen anything like it. He's amazing. He has also hand drawn pictures of my wedding and of my grand father for his funeral service."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Glenolden, PA

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.
