I offer a complete service for the person who needs spring start ups,system trouble shooting,valve repair,heads moved, clocks reprogrammed, leaks repaired, zones added or removed. I am a full service and reliable company.fair and competative pricing. Quality service with. 18 years of experience.

"Vernon talked a great game but his workmanship was poor. Partway through the project I discovered that the sprinkler lines were not properly buried. Most of them were just under peeled back grass and some spots were still visible on the surface. I had been very clear that the lines needed to be buried below the depth of penetration for a lawn aerator. When I complained he gave a variety of defenses including that the lines would sink into the ground with snowfall, that an aerator could not penetrate the plastic pipe, and that my lawn would not need aerating. Also more than half of the sprinkler heads were sticking up more than 3 inches out of the turf and at risk of being destroyed by a lawn mower. I had to reinstall most of what he did. If you hire him I would advise having everything specified in writing and monitoring his workmanship very closely."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Salem, MI

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.
