"Owner would never return calls. Talked to him once at time of signing contract in April, could not reach him again until we canceled in July (only time he called back was in response to cancelation email). Never received promised plan. Salesperson said bulldozer to be delivered on a Friday. Bulldozer did not show after we took off from work to wait for it. Too many red flags so we canceled. They said they won’t return my $3,300 deposit. Realized after looking at other companies that many necessities to pool installation were not in contract (plumber, etc.); estimated cost above contract approx. $10K. Salesperson said they do not install stone around pool (keeps patio from sinking, if you don’t wait 6 months for ground to settle), after insisting that we needed it to install patio, he said “ok, but it will cost you $4,000”. Went from “won’t” to “$4K” pretty quickly. Run far away from this company and the owner Mike. Mike takes your deposit and you don’t hear from him again!"

"HORRIBLY! I was just told by Tom Sutton heating & plumbing that they will not stand behind the generator repair failure where I almost lost an $8,500 boiler, hot water heater and had to buy two new sump pumps and pay for a plumber's visit and clean up after the generator failed during the storm. I also lost many items in the flooded basement. The fire dept and police were here 4x throughout the day trying to deal with the flooding, thanks to the failure of the generator to kick on when the power went off. This is the specific reason that I spent hundreds of dollars to repair the generator. Sutton basically told me to get lost. What is wrong with some companies? They don't seem to have any sense of responsibility or decency for other people. I really do not know how some of these companies can stay in business? It's truly disappointing that the old Sears Roebuck attitude has gone the way of the dinosaur."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Shandaken, NY

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.
