"Joe was a great help with our electrical projects. We had several smaller projects that we needed done in our new house. He recommended some ways to simplify our projects, quoted a reasonable cost, and performed great work. He even did a great job cleaning up after finishing. I would highly recommend him for your project!"

"Landscape Illumination installed landscape lighting for our home and at the same time installed year around holiday LED lights around our roofline. Customer service is great - we had a strand of LED lights act up right after installation and they were right out to replace the strand. Our landscape lighting works and looks great every night but I waited an entire year to write a review to make sure our holiday lighting worked fine this year when I turned them back on - I'm happy to say that every LED light is still working great and I changed them to ORANGE for Halloween. thanks again to the team at Landscape Illumination - landscape lighting and permanent holiday lighting was worth every penny!"

"Was very easy to schedule service with company and Rodrigo called 30 minutes prior and was on time. He looked at the 2 items we had initial requested and then added on a quick outlet change request which was no problem. Work was complete quickly and neatly and explained the issues. In the past, we used Arnold Electric which was 3 times the cost for similar time/scope of work. replaced exterior outlet/cover, determined transformer on under cabinet light was out and was discontinued so removed unit and then replaced light switch for living room overhead lighting."

"Owen came out to draw up a design & proposal to illuminate our backyard with Moonscape lighting. The downlighting that we chose for the backyard mimics natural moonlight where the fixtures are located overhead in trees with the light shining down from above, creating a beautiful moonlit effect across the yard. We also incorporated some aesthetic uplighting to further lighten up the yard a little more. It is very attractive and we have received many compliments from friends and neighbors while entertaining at night. Mark, Owen & the entire team were prompt, professional & knowledgeable. They even did the installation on short notice for a graduation party & returned at night to make certain we were completely satisfied."

"<p>We contacted with them for a three-year service, three years in a row. They put it up in November and take it down in January. The buy who comes out is a real creative guy. He shows a bunch of pictures. We did not know what we wanted to do with as far as lights to, but he came up with an interesting plan and it was good. You buy the lights and, basically, they are yours. They put them up for your every year. If I had to say anything about them I would say there were creative.       </p>"

"Let me state for the record: Mission 2 Organize will save you TIME and MONEY. It will save you time by tackling tasks that you just don’t have the bandwith or wherewithal to manage - and FINALLY get whatever you’ve been putting off in order. Lastly, they will save you money by showing you EXACTLY what you have: you might not know you don’t need a 4th bottle of hairspray or a 7th pair of black pants. Shopping in your own closet is real! Great customer experience and well worth the investment."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Oak Park, IL

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.
