"Exceptional Septic Service! Nico and Greg were on time and efficient. They had to locate and uncover my tank in extremely rocky soil. They pumped, cleaned, inspected, and tested the flushes. Great Job! Don"

"Terrible service and customer service. The technician didn't even bother to check the 3 sprinkler zones in my backyard when he came out to "turn on" my sprinkler system, which I actually turned on. I was charged full price for that service call even though the work was only half done. He also repaired the water faucet on the side of my house, and then lied about the time spent actually performing the work, and of course said the sprinklers that he did actually check needed to be replaced. Judy, the office assistant, was very deceptive in explaining the charges to me prior to scheduling the appointment, and when questioned about being overcharged (saying two people worked on replacing an item for 30 minutes when only one of them worked on it for about 15 minutes. The other guy just stood there and watched, as he was only an apprentice) she adjusted my invoice to a somewhat more reasonable price (but still overpriced) to reflect the actual labor performed after much back and forth. Judy even admitted that she overcharged me when I had my sprinkler winterization done earlier in the year because it was out of season. I had forgotten to have the sprinklers blown out until January. Then Judy threatened to send me to collections because I disputed paying the full sprinkler turn on charge when only half of the sprinklers were actually inspected. I will NEVER use them again, and I suggest no one else does either. It's just mediocre deceptive garbage of a company that is managed by idiots and thieves."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Howell, MI

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.
