"This is the 2nd time I have used Amaya, and they are definitely my first choice for new projects around my aging (built 1953) house. This time, we wanted a removal of a built-in desk unit in a badly designed closet in what is our guest room/TV room, a reconstruction of the previous closet space to be more usable, with shelving, bi-fold doors and a re-centering of the closet on the wall, followed by a complete room re-paint. . Felipe, the owner, showed up quickly to view the room & deliver an estimate. The estimate was reasonable, and we gave the go-ahead. It took about 5 days total to do the removal of the desk unit and re-build the closet and shelving in more rational layout. Felipe and his team are amazing. They show up on time every day, get to work immediately, and finished much sooner than I expected. We took a walk around the exterior and Felipe did a good job of pointing out issues of concern (cracks, window leakage, etc.) that are now our next project with them! "

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Millbrae, CA

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.
