Small jobs welcome

I have done lighting my whole life. It is something that I’ve always enjoyed. Back in 2022 I was featured on a news channel for my lighting skills with holiday lights. That knowledge transfers to low voltage outdoor lighting as well. I have an eye and a passion for it. Professional design and quality products go along with the success of your lighting needs.

"Kip did an awesome job on my driveway about 5 years ago and still looks brand new. Also brought him in recently when he was in town to look at my garage door which was getting stuck when opening. He was quick and efficient and cost half the price compared to the manufacturer service provider. He's also very available via phone for any questions or troubleshooting concerns. With his knowledge and old school customer service skills, I highly recommend him as a handyman for any home project!"

"After a big storm came through, I wasn’t sure if my roof had damage or not. I called Vanguard Roofing just to get it checked out. They showed up on time, were super friendly, and actually took the time to explain everything they found in simple terms. What really stood out to me was that they weren’t pushy at all. They gave me a full breakdown and let me decide how I wanted to move forward. Turns out, there was enough damage for an insurance claim—and Vanguard handled the whole process with my adjuster. The crew was respectful, worked fast, and left my yard cleaner than when they got there. My roof looks great, and I feel confident knowing it was done the right way. Highly recommend Vanguard if you’re looking for a roofing company that’s honest, responsive, and takes pride in their work."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Monroe, NC

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.
