"Gary was very professional when he came to my house to put up my Christmas lights ! I have had him come now 3 years in row and will continue to do so ! After the holidays he comes back to take the lights down and he carefully packs them away for next year !"

"We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Ryan, who was a true professional from start to finish. When he came to give us an estimate on the work that we needed done, we were instantly comfortable with him and confident in his ability to perform the work requested. We ended up hiring him to upgrade our electric service, run additional wires and outlets and and install a dimmer switch for our dining room light. We needed wires run across the house from the breaker panel where there is no attic, to the opposite side of the house where we do have attic space. Ryan helped us coordinate this part of the job to coincide with our roof renovation to avoid having to open the interior walls and ceilings, which saved us the huge headache of additional unwanted sheetrock repairs. He also helped us assess our electric needs to determine how to best utilize our upgraded panel and split the load accordingly. He completed all work promptly, and the quality of his work was top notch! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose NRS and look forward to having Ryan back for additional work in the future! Thanks for everything!!!"

"The owner Mark is a stand up gentleman. From his conversation on the phone while scheduling an appointment up until the service call the next day, Mark was exceptional. The work was performed rather quickly and perfectly executed. Mark offers affordable pricing too which is a plus. I have used mark for 2 projects in my home and will definitely be using him for future projects. He is the only electrician I trust because he is knowledgeable, personable and above all honest!"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Wading River, 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.
