Customers say: Quick response

"Quick response to come out even though we were late in the holiday season to call. Lights looked great. Was a little worried when the guys came out in the dark to hang the lights but they moved around the roof quickly and efficiently. Didn't have to call for removal and will be on the schedule for early set up next season. Highly recommend."

"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

"All four outdoor lamp posts work now. When we bought the house, the seller's (a professional house flipping/restoring company) said it was going to take weeks/months to figure out how to get the outdoor lamp posts working and this was going to push back the closing date which was unacceptable to us. So, we hired Jeff Mitchell Lighting and within an hour he had the issue(s) diagnosed and had it fixed shortly after. The lights look great now. He also gave me quite a few options for various issues like what lights we can use, how to switch/control the lights, etc."

"The entire process took about 1-1/2 days. All went very well. Lights have functioned great all summer. Plus, any time I have had a question, Accent has returned my calls promptly. More expensive than the DIY options at local hardware stores, but I tried that route and found that you get what you pay for. Accent gives a 15-year warranty. My lights are on every night on schedule. <br />"

"The most professional service I have ever used. They lighted each branch of my trees and wrapped the evergreens too. Our roof is steep and very large with many rooflines for lighting. It looks incredible. People are stopping to take pics and praising their great work. Their customer service is so responsive. I had some lights out and they came back to fix right away. I know I will be using them every home holiday season in the future. If I could upload a picture I would! Thank you for a fantastic job."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Festus, MO

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.
