"This gentleman was AMAZING. In 5 minutes, he fixed the 2 problems the last electrician had caused. I wash I had called him first. He was here within 1 day, fixed all the outlets in my kitchen, that someone else screwed up!!! He added a GFI inside and one outside. I can't believe this guy. The price was way less than what I thought he was going to charge me. I cannot say enough good things about him. I will not let anyone else ever work on anything electric in my house again. Thank you TAZ I am so glad I looked on Angie and found you."

"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."

"We were unhappy with our previous holiday light company after 3 years.  Soon after contacting Holiday Creations,  a representative was at our house providing an estimate.  Once the light installation was scheduled, everything went smoothly.  The company is very professional.  Excellent communication and responsiveness!  I highly recommend this business."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Schiller 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.
