"I would like to recommend Bulldog Exteriors to everyone. Aaron Harris and his crew pressure washed our entire home, replaced wood rot and wrapped the eaves with aluminum and vinyl. In addition they calked and painted all the doors and windows in our home. After that was a complete replacement of the gutters with larger and screen protected gutters. All paint, vinyl, aluminum, and gutters are color matched to perfection with the color of our choice. All of this worked was priced reasonably for all of the work involved. The only delay was a weather day and a delay in getting the materials in from suppliers. Aaron is a Citadel Graduate and headquartered in Ridgeville. A true local company we should support.

Hi! I’m Eric, a master electrician in the trade since fresh out of high school ( 2003 ). I immediately jumped green into commercial electrical work 40 hours a week in 2003. As my knowledge grew, I’d start doing side jobs on the weekends ( ceiling fans, can lights, light fixture installs ) When I got my journeyman card in 2012, I started doing more advanced residential electrical on the side. ( Panel upgrades, troubleshooting, generator installs, boat lifts on docks, etc ) \nIn 2023, I realized I was losing money by working 40 hours a week for an electrical contractor when I had clients weeks and months out due to delayed availability. So I took my Masters Test, picked up General Liability Insurance, got bonded, and began my own small electric business. Here I am today. I can handle any massive, to small job dealing with anything electrical, and both a residential and commercial setting.

"Laura, Michael and their crew at Domestic Divas do a wonderful job every week cleaning my home and place of business and even cleaning our rental property after extensive renovations. Their staff are polite, courteous, trustworthy, timely and they do a wonderful job cleaning. They pay attention to all the little details and it is a pleasure to come home on "cleaning day" to a lovely, clean and fresh smelling house! They always go the extra mile for me and they never have a problem with add on chores or moving me to a different day if I have problem or I am out of town. I would happily recommend them to anyone!"

"OLP is amazing.  They provided outdoor lighting on 3 sides of my home.  It's absolutely beautiful.  The entire process was so easy.  They kept me informed the entire way.  And as I was standing outside last night taking pictures, a passerby rolled her car window down to tell me how beautiful the lighting made my home.  <br />"

"Everything Outdoor Lighting did for us was exceptional.   The initial test view of the lights was very helpful and allowed us to decide what we wanted and did not want.  The quote was a bit high originally, but the company adjusted pricing lower to meet our needs. We asked for rapid installation as he wanted to have the lights in place before the holiday.   OL came within two days of the initial visit and completed the work in a timely and quality manner.  We were also very impressed with the internet based proposal approach and transparency of their information.   I highly recommend Outdoor Lighting to others.  Quality of product and service comes through. <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Charleston, SC

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.
