"James and his teammate were wonderful. He reached out immediately once the request went out. He was very responsive and transparent with the cost, process and answering questions. He worked with us on color, design and scheduling. They were on time for the installation appointment and the decorations look great. James makes sure you are happy with the design and is happy to make adjustments as needed. We had a few bulbs out the first nite and he immediately came back to fix the issues. 5 stars!"

"A handyman/ contractor named Mike performed the work w/in my home. The Pros, included him being punctual, time- efficient and performing the work described w/o incident/ difficulty. I am pleased w/ the work. I was extremely dissatisfied w/ the price of the work however. Upon the initial assessment a price that I sincerely felt was inflated was given. I decided to address the immediate concerns w/in my home and given Covid did not want repeated people entering to gather a second estimate, I went w Mike. I paid 1/2 of the initial price as was policy at the start of him beginning to work w/in my home via Zelle. This was fine. He was unable to finish the work in one day, which was also fine and I asked him about add'l smaller projects w/in my home that he had the option to accept/ decline. He accepted. One was to perform a job similar in size/ labor as a previous job we had discussed that was no longer needed. I suggested the initial price either be lowered or the jobs swapped as an even exchange. A second job was placing a recessed lighbulb where one had previously burned out. He agreed. Upon of completion of the work the remaining balance increased by a little over $200. I was stunned. He did not swap out the initial job as was implied since he NEVER stated otherwise and charged me $100 to place new handles on my kitchen cabinets and charged me $50 to insert the lightbulb. Given that he is a stranger and I am not looking for fights I paid him in full and asked him to leave my home. I felt taken advantage of, ****** and would never refer such a greedy individual to anyone- which is a shame b/c while advancing himself upwards of $200 he ultimately lost thousands in certain call- backs I would have made and referrals I would have gladly given."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Grant Park, IL

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.
