"Paul, the owner, gave us a great deal, did wonderful work, responded to communication quickly, was accommodating with changes in times we needed to make and was personable and easy to work with. I was so glad that we chose his company to do our work. Some specifics that may be helpful to you: The ground near one side of our house falls off into a ravine. We’ve had window cleaning companies come to give us an estimate only to have them tell us they won’t do our windows because of this steep slope. Paul didn’t hesitate to say he’d do the work. Another company that gave us an estimate added over $100 into their estimate for the power washing “to remove mildew from deck”. Paul removed it easily and told us about a product we could easily apply ourselves to keep the mildew away. Paul cleaned a chandelier that had dozens of glass pieces that had to be removed by hand, washed and replaced. It wasn’t inexpensive, but another company wouldn’t even give us an estimate. In the future I will always hire Bulldog for any of the many kinds of work they do!"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in North Salem, IN

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.
