"The services Rain Hunters provided can be described as a work of art.  Additionally, not only is the finished product beautiful and practical, the experience we had with Mr. Garcia was very pleasurable.  He created a design for our new backyard patio/wet bar/landscaping according to our suggestions and sample pictures we found on PINTREST.  It is amazing that he was able to take those ideas and implement every detail in our project.  Our dream backyard has now become a reality and we are very pleased and satisfied. <br /> <br /> In addition to the excellent trades and skills his crew provided, the job was finished on time according to the estimated time he provided a the start of the project.  He was very responsive to all our needs and would promptly meet with us whenever we had a question or a change of plan.  <br /> <br /> The craftsmanship of the work he provided was outstanding.  The project was very involved and required: <br /> <br /> Plumbing (sink/faucet for wet bar) <br /> <br /> Granite counter-top (for bar) <br /> <br /> Built-in grill <br /> <br /> Carpentry (pergola installation) <br /> <br /> Sprinkler System (completely redesigning current system due to new flowerbeds and patio) <br /> <br /> Electrical (provided power outlets at pergola and lighting fixtures throughout the yard) <br /> <br /> Rain gutter installation <br /> <br /> Brick-work for 30-foot retaining wall/seating bench and kitchen tops for wet bar and grilling area <br /> <br /> Landscaping (created new flower beds and planted beautiful selection of shrubs, flowers and ground cover) <br /> <br /> Paver brick walkway and patio floor (for walkway and patio floor) <br /> <br /> Overall, our experience with Rain Hunters was extremely pleasant because of the attention to details in his work, the beauty of the finished product and the outstanding customer service he provided. After the project was complete, he has followed up with us to make sure that any and all our needs are met and we are 100% satisfied.  <br /> <br /> I would highly recommend RAIN HUNTERS for any gardening and patio installations and outdoor improvements."

"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."

"The service was great! I purchased a Move In Clean and they provided me with a checklist and guaranteed everything on it. We did a walk around to make sure everything was done before they left and everything was done. :)"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Harlingen, TX

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.
