"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

"Walker and his crew could not have done a better job. The previous homeowner had added a concrete patio which unfortunately slopes towards the sunroom which was resulting in water damage. We got several quotes as it was a major project to remove the existing patio and add a drainage system. Walker and his foreman spent a considerable amount of time obtaining measurements and doing surveys to determine the grading, placement of drains before we even hired them. Walker spent much more time explaining the scope of the project before we even started. From start to finish he and his crew were excellent. They always arrived on time and communicated well if anything needed to be delayed due to weather. Due to the size of the project we had different patterns and color variations. Walker was wonderful during this phase and knew what my wife was trying for to achieve. Walker placed an extensive drainage system (all the water is now diverted from around our house to our front yard per our request). Now regardless of how hard it rains all the water goes exactly where it should! We couldn’t be happier with the job Walker did. He transformed an eyesore (concrete patio, crumbling asphalt, and a source of anxiety) into an oasis in our backyard. In total we had a new patio, retaining wall, rebuilt a bowing brick wall onto our basement stairwell, wrought iron fence, driveway, and extensive drainage system. Wonderful to work with and would hire without hesitation."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in West-bethesda, MD

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.
