"Mike is amazing. Contacted me right away and set up installation of my Christmas lights the very next day for the best price around. The installers were great, too! My new house looks perfect for the holiday season!"

"They did a holiday lighting for us. They came on Thanksgivings day and got the job done in a few hours. Did a great professional job. Easy to talk to and responsible. They asked me to send pictures of the lights at night to see how it looks. Out of hundreds of light bulbs, the spotted two light bulbs were not lit and told me they will come back next week to replace them."

"I hired Platinum Property Solutions, LLC. for pressure washing and they were so diligent, I hired them again for my holiday lighting. John did an AMAZING job! From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and communicated every step of the way. He even came back later that evening to ensure the lights were operating properly. I recommend them to all of my clients and anyone who wants an amazing job done!"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Middletown, NJ

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.
