We strongly believe in providing our customers with the most value for their money. We work with only the highest quality materials and experienced, professional crews. We have consistently focused on the needs of our customers, providing personalized attention and a stress-free experience. This approach has set us apart and made us one of the leading exterior companies in the U.S.

"I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY & I WILL NEVER REFER THEM TO CLEAN A GUTTER FOR ANYONE. IF YOU DO UTILIZE THEIR SERVICE(S), YOU NEED TO BE HOME WHILE THE SERVICES ARE BEING PERFORMED & YOU NEED TO BE READY & ABLE TO CHECK THE WORK THAT YOU PAID THEM TO PERFORM. YOUR BEST BET IS TO USE A DRONE TO TAKE PICTURES & VIDEO SO YOU DON?T HURT YOURSELDF WHILE INSPECTING THEIR WORK. The 1st time the workers came by to clean the gutters, they were @ our home for 30 minutes. The 2nd time they were there for 32 minutes. Each time the job wasn't completed per the contract. Let's see if they can complete the job on their 3rd visit. Pay the extra money & go with another company."

"We had a great experience with RJ Berra. They came on time, verified exactly what we wanted and then carefully and safely removed the limbs that we wanted removed without hurting our deck, fence or even any plants in our yard. They were conscientious, friendly and professional and we are so happy with the results. Would definitely recommend them."

Pragmatic Staging Solutions couples creativity with bottom-line business acumen. We apply our creative skills to maximize value for our clients while ensuring that our recommendations are cost-effective and designed to meet their objectives. Depending on the type of work, service fees are charged on an hourly basis or on a fixed cost per project. Pragmatic Staging Solutions can do as much or as little of the work that a client chooses. Most of the above services can be provided using one of the following methods depending on how much of the staging work the client wants to perform themselves: "Walk and Talk" Consultation: We tour the home with the client for 1 - 2 hours while the client takes notes on recommendations. Following the consultation, the client may request a bid proposal be prepared for the recommendations that the client would prefer Pragmatic Staging Solutions to perform. Virtual Consultation: This is a less expensive and expeditious service that results in concrete staging recommendations listed room by room for the client within 72 hours. The client simply emails pictures of each room (usually 3 - 4 from each corner of the room) so that we get a good representation of the room and Pragmatic will email back a detailed checklist of recommendations of what updates should be made, what items to remove from a room, furniture placement, accessory placement, etc. Bid Proposal: We briefly tour the home and then develop a bid proposal for Pragmatic Staging Solutions to perform all of the recommended staging services.

"I cannot speak highly enough of Carol and her team! My team has been using her services for over three years now. She is timely, communicative, fairly priced, has a great eye for design, and truly professional. She is a vendor who truly has the client's best interest in mind. I would recommend her to anyone looking for staging or interior design!"

"Do not hire this company for doing your Irrigation systems jobs! On Fall 2021 they come to my house for winterizing my lawn Irrigation system, I knew I have leaks on one of the watering system zone and on that time I’ve informed them about that issue, but the technician skipped that zone for winterizing and that caused two other more pipe broken in last winter. At the activation day on last April I noticed the 2 new leaks which was completely this companies technician’s fault, but instead of repair the new leaks and apology for their technician fault they charge me for $369.00 for repair that 2 new leaks with cause by “as they says” this company professional technician!!!!"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Washington DC, DC

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.
