"Kelly and Matt are amazing! Great customer service and return of text and phone calls. I was looking for help with our lights this year due to my husband's scheduled hip surgery . I did not want him on the roof to put lights up let alone take lights down. This was to be a surprise from me to him. We had that huge heavy snow storm and FVL still checked in! It is pricey but worth every penny! our home looked professionally lit up. We would of skipped this year but we host a family gathering at our home so this was not a option of NOT having beautiful lights to celebrate ChristMas. A few days after Christmas FVL text me to see when we were ready for them to come by and take the lights down. I text back with a reply " a week " " no hurry " Their crew came by early this week , rang the door bell to let me know they were here. SO KIND , Very polite ! and it was COLD outside! I hope to fill a Outdoor Christmas light install money bucket for next year's exterior lighting install. Thanks again for your great service , most of all keeping my awesome husband off of our Roof!!! Thanks again"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Winfield, IL

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.
