"A representative from Vinecourt Landscaping contacted me within a couple of hours regarding my inquiry and she was very helpful, courteous and professional. Shortly afterwards, my driveway was plowed and I am now on their regular route. I really appreciated their prompt reply and overall, I am very happy to be doing business with them."

"Tim and his crew were very professional.  Tim did a night time demonstration for us and performed our tweaks as we requested.  OLP came back on 6/21 to complete the install to our satisfaction.  Tim returned on 6/24 to make some minor adjustments.  Upon installation in newly planted beds you could not even tell they were there.  Cleaned up and returned the beds to their original condition.  Very good company.  Would recommend and use again.  Thanks OLP! <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!"

"They do our plowing too. For responsiveness, that's where I have to downgrade them, well they're getting better, but I had a little incident with them, which I also put a review on Angie's list about a year ago, where I was not getting return phone calls, I believe they had overcharged me, long story short, responsiveness I may have to say they get a B, because they have gotten better since I complained."

"We wouldn’t give them top marks on everything but they are pretty fair. We did have an issue. We bought an above-ground pool from them about two years ago. We did have an issue with the heater on and off within the last year and I don’t think they were as responsive as I would want them to be but they did eventually take care of it just maybe not as quickly as I wanted but they did take care of it. We would use them again in the future."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Madison, OH

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.
