HI my name is Joe. I offer reliable residential electrical work and take pride in doing things the right way—clean, safe, and up to code. I handle jobs like lighting installs, outlets, switches, troubleshooting, and small upgrades.\n\nI’m easy to work with, show up when I say I will, and make sure everything is done right before I leave. I know how frustrating electrical issues can be, so I try to keep things simple, fair, and stress-free.\n\nIf you need something done or have questions, feel free to reach out.

"He drew it and took pics of himself doing it otherwise we wouldn't believe even drew it. It looks like a photograph. We've never seen anything like it. He's amazing. He has also hand drawn pictures of my wedding and of my grand father for his funeral service."

"There are several things I liked about Celtic Creations: 1. Flexibility of service: they were happy to come up with a plan for the entire yard, were happy to work with my limitations and desires. 2. They listened when I said I wanted something relatively low maintenance. They put in a mix of plants and shrubs with some blooming all year round. 3. I generally like their taste in what they decided to put in. 4. They seem to lean towards more naturalistic landscaping, which I appreciate. I think the work may have come in a little higher than the estimate, but I probably also added a few things for them to do so they probably estimated about right. Overall, I'm really happy with them and the work they did (and continue to do, I'm still using them for maintenance)."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in York-harbor, ME

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.
