"All of my communication with the provider was via email.  I submitted a request for a price quote around the second week of November and the work was performed on November 25th (the day I'm writing this review).  The provider was very prompt in responding.  I sent them my home address and was sent back a picture of my house and yard to confirm my address.  I explained what I wanted done and they provided a price quote.  <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I had a preference for the type of mulch I preferred and they accommodated my request.  I revised my work order to cancel the leaf removal because the HOA removed the leaves.  A couple of days afterwards, the leaves were back (at this point, all the leaves had fallen due to strong winds the previous two nights).  I requested that leaf removal be added back to the work order (this request was submitted the morning that the work was scheduled to be completed).  I was hopeful that the request was not too late and learned that they did indeed receive the updated request in time to remove the leaves.  <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />On the day the work was done, I got home that nigh.  I couldn't see all of the yard except for sections here and there illuminated by street light.  Even though I couldn't see all  of the yard, I could tell that they did a fantastic job.  The fall foliage was completely removed and the mulching gave the flowerbeds and trees such a manicured look.  The bushes were neatly trimmed, including my hydrangea bush.  <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The work far exceeded my expectations.  I will definitely come back to this company for spring mulching.  My check is going in the mail in the morning. <br />"

"It went very well. I contacted this artist to create a stunning and lifelike self portrait. I then sent photos and payment. In less than a week I had a stunning rendition of myself in both pencil and watercolor. Lance is always courteous and professional. I highly recommend his services to everyone and will do business with him again soon!"

"I can't say enough about Nancy Alberts and her company, Moving On. I hired her on the advice of a friend from church. I was appointed Estate Administrator after the death of my father-in-law who had been in his home for over 50 years. His wife died 6 years ago and I don't think much of anything had ever been thrown out or given away. He refused to let his caregivers dispose of anything or they could have started the process. We were not able at our ages to deal with the heavy lifting, etc. She took care of everything, including advising on an individual to hold the sale in the home. I knew that the items that used to be so valuable years ago, including formal furniture, are going for pennies now - younger couples are not interested in items that have to be handled with care or polished and most want comfortable furniture, not antiques. I was very intrigued by what furniture and household items sold and what did not sell, but not surprised. It would have been very emotional for us to watch all the items in the house going out the door for pennies on the dollar, but that is the situation today and I was glad someone else could take care of that! We had a problem in the house at the very end. A carpet that covered the entire room had foam backing which stuck to the hardwood floor when it was removed - a real mess! Nancy knew someone who could come in and take care of that, too, which was a lifesaver! Her team was very respectful with the items in the house - saving personal things that we had not originally found, getting everything ready for the sale, putting out the enormous piles of trash, donating what did not sell and what was still usable to charity, and doing a final cleaning including buffing the hardwood floors. By the time her team finished, the house was move-in ready for sale. I warn everyone who hires a service like this that the items in older homes that people think are so valuable are just "stuff and dust collectors" to many in the younger generation. Do not expect to get what you think they're worth in a home estate sale! That is not the fault of Nancy and her team or the auctioneer - it is the reality today. I can't say enough about all the HARD WORK Nancy and her team did in a very hot and sticky month of August! We are forever grateful for everything they did."

"The jobs took a few days in total. We had them do 2 phases to our project. They were pretty much on time and did exactly what we wanted. Shannon was very professional and helpful. We will probably be using them to do the rest of our front area in the spring. I would recommend them to anyone. <br />"

"Awesome, totally awesome.  Very responsive to email, phone calls, and service.  Darryl is very pleasant to speak and work with and quick to get to the job and complete it.  He worked in the rain and cool temperatures to fix the mailbox before the mail would have been delivered.  I definitely recommend this company and will definitely use their services again!  I couldn't be more pleased! <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Goochland, 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.
