"They came promptly. I would have appreciated a little bit more information about when they would be at my home, as they caught me by surprise. The nice man told me that they often come when the homeonwner is at work, sometimes they have to call him or her to locate the problem area. So that was the only potential problem. Fortunately I was home."

"Russel Williams Home Services is my "go to" window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and Christmas lighting. I've been using them for years and I won't use anyone else. They do a great job and are very reasonably priced (with discounts for repeat customers). Most importantly, they're incredibly responsive with great customer service. I highly recommend their services."

"We loved our Limo ride with Travis driving us around the city seeing Christmas lights. There were six of us and plenty of space to have our treats and drinks. The ride was very comfortable and the inside of the limo was clean and beautiful interior/lights. The tour was 3 hours and took us to some amazing light displays. Our driver, Travis, was very accommodating, informative and stopped to allow photo ops. I would highly recommend this as a Christmas tradition."

"My experience was great. I first contacted online and my emails and all questions were answered same day. Response was quick and every question was answered professionally. I had scheduled services a week out due to my family out of town. Even though I did not need to be home during the service. We arrived back in town early and I called in to see for a sooner appointment. Liam's set perfect and clear expectations being a holiday week there might be a possibility of coming out by the end of week. Travis showed up friday afternoon, even though I did receive the courtesy call prior to arrival, Travis was very professional and did the work in a great amount of time. My gutters look beautiful and no longer look as if I am growing a garden. Thank you Travis."

"We started with a walk-through of our house. We shared things we liked and things we didn't like about each room. Sue then showed us fabric samples, and we told her what we liked. She started pulling together colors and fabrics for each room and then helped us determine paint colors. She gave us a book that had a written plan for each room along with the fabric samples and the paint swatches. She included ideas for accessories and lighting. We can now execute everything on our own time/budget. <br />"

"They were very professional, listened to what I wanted done and did exactly as I wished. The lights were straight across the front of the house...colored and straight as an arrow. They looked beautiful and I loved the look. They said they would maintain them (if one went out they would replace it) but that was not needed. They set them up on a timer and everything worked perfectly the whole time they were up."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Howard Lake, MN

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.
