"I highly recommend Jerry Brammer of The Handyman Services for pretty much any construction needs and repair services you might have. Jerry has saved my life several times since I first hired him in Nov of 2016. I had literally gone through 6 contractors trying to renovate a duplex in Delmar dealing with issues including paying for work not done, work done incorrectly and simply trying to get them to show up. I was living in a demolition nightmare and at the end of my rope when I found Jerry. He was the first one to walk into my disaster with a positive attitude. He's been working for me ever since. I haven't found anything that Jerry can't handle and he approaches the problem as if he's working in his own home. He's honest, realistic, flexible and thorough all at a fair price. The work he has done for me includes electrical (repairing/installing lights and outlets), plumbing (replacing hot water heaters, repairing leaks, running new pipes, clearing sewer lines), carpentry (constructed a bedroom closet, a porch, trim work, etc), refinishing my wood floors, sheet rocking, taping and painting (interior & exterior), replaced gutters, installed fencing, cut down small trees with stump removal, landscaping and most recently put in a sidewalk."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Troy, 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.
