"This was the second experience I have had with Mike Hall at Creative Irrigation and Lighting. Both have been fabulously successful from both an operational and aesthetic standpoint. Beautiful lawns and plantings, no matter the weather, and lovely lighting. Many nice compliments from neighbors. Service, whether regular or unexpected, is terrific. These people are a joy to work with and the irrigation control system software is state of the art. Have recommended them over and over and am glad to do so here. They are justly proud of their creations and the value they add to their clients properties. Thanks Mike, Bryan and all the crews and office staff!"

"<br /> I have had several organizers prior to Need A Hand and had not been satisfied with neither their performance or cost. They were expensive and did not help me gain control over years of clutter. When I read a local news article about Need A Hand, I decided to give them a try. When their organizer arrived, she made an assessment of everything, then actually sat down and discussed how I would like to proceed and what my immediate and long-term goals for the house included. She then began working in my living room and I could see the progress that first day. She made me feel comfortable and included in the process, but really took charge of the straightening, sorting and organizing. I have a bad back and when I needed to sit, she brought things to go through to me and told where she thought other things should go and got my approval as she was working. I made a follow-up appointment that same day and when she returned, she began where we had left off and continued to make great progress. A couple of the things she did that NO OTHER organizer had done were <strong>cleaning</strong> where she had helped organize and collecting things of a kind for me to go through until our next session. She is friendly and pleasant, but does not stop working from the moment she comes until the time for our session is up. She is wonderfully efficient and I have learned a lot watching her. She offers me advice on how to go about determining what do do with the things that have piled up over the years, but she is never pushy. She has helped me make a great difference in my house!"

"Diane and Tony are really nice folks. They are very conscientious and pay attention to detail. They are punctual and if they are running a little late they let me know.  How great is that!! They clean two floors for me including 2 1/2 baths and the kitchen. I am so very pleased with this company. I consider myself very fortunate to have them ! <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Markham, VA

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.
