Our past projects include everything from custom carpentry jobs to complete home renovations and additions. Our specializations include, but are not limited to, the historic/vintage homes of the north shore. Whether you need to repair something old, or build something new, our attention to detail can make the new work tie in seamlessly with the rest of your home.

"We've worked with Kevin on a number of carpentry projects including framing for a fireplace mantel, mantel installation, trim scribing on a very uneven, 100+ year old floor, and attic framing/attic pulldown installation. Other professionals, including the owner of our HVAC servicer, have commented on the quality of his work and have asked for his referral. Kevin is always prompt, always courteous, and highly professional. I always have the utmost confidence when working with Kevin that the work will be done to the highest standards. He does not take shortcuts and prioritizes executing projects properly when attention to detail is critical. Kevin is one of the best professionals we've worked with and I highly recommend him."

Holiday lighting add or removes FAQs

Finding affordable Christmas light installers means identifying professionals with fixed, transparent per-foot and hourly rates. You locate cost-effective installers by evaluating local service providers who offer quality installation without compromising safety. Cutting corners on wiring and installation jeopardizes both aesthetics and safety, so select installers with proven credentials. Enhance savings by choosing accent areas over full coverage, sourcing your own lights, and using timers to regulate energy consumption and boost efficiency.

Yes, hiring an installer for off-season Christmas light installation provides definitive cost benefits. You secure reduced rates because service demand declines between February and September, and installers maintain availability throughout the year. Reduced business activity in these months leads to lower fees, and you have the option of hiring a local handyperson or opting for permanent installation services if required.

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 your Christmas light installer is a customary practice that rewards the exceptional skill and dedication involved in creating your festive display. You affirm the value of quality service by providing a tip of 10% to 20% of the total invoice. This gesture not only recognizes superior workmanship but also encourages continued excellence in future projects.
