"We've had our lights for about a month now and love the look it gave to our home. These guys were very professional. We signed up for an estimate during the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show. A few weeks later, Dave came to our house to do the demo/estimate. They do a great job by setting up a temporary, above-ground display to show you what your house will look like. We loved it enough to make the deal on the spot. The following week, the installers came out and put in the permanent fixtures. We had some hiccups along the way trying to get the fixtures we chose, but Dave made it right by putting in extra phone calls to find the style we wanted. The hardware they use, including the light fixtures, the transformer, and the timer, all seem to be high quality. We haven't had any problems, and I don't expect any for years to come. The only small cons could be the expense (though I believe this cost to be on par with competitors) and a few small sections of wiring that are exposed above ground (but I can bury these quite easily myself). Outside of that, these guys did an awesome job, and I would recommend them to friends and family without hesitation.

"I showed her examples of what I desired and I was so satisfied as she did exactly what I asked for. Even though Jennifer became sick during the process and was hospitalized, she down played her illness and was able to complete the job. My dining room window is a bay and she did a terrific job. It was all exactly what I wanted! The only minor complaint I have is it was hard to get her to reply to me after I met with her and gave her the order."

"I had a new bathroom added to first floor. Owner Scott Fitzgerald came right out, measured, discussed and gave me a fair price. He contacted me every day to communicate scope and status of project. His carpenters and crew members are experienced and knowledgeable and worked with me on details. I would not hesitate to call him for future projects."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in New Kensington, PA

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.
