"Working with Heather from was an all-around wonderful experience. With a quick consultation she identified the style we were looking for and provided us with a few alternatives to fill in our new space within our budget. Not only did she simplify the overwhelming process of curating a cohesive look across a few rooms of our space, but she provided all the information we needed to easily order all of the furniture and decorative items we needed. In a few weeks we went from a nearly blank slate to a place that feels like home! Once our space was nearly complete, Heather also helped us quickly fill in a few small gaps that were outside our original scope. From my experience, I can recommend working with Funcy Decor for any size project, and while we targeted a style somewhere between modern industrial and contemporary, it was apparent that Heather's breadth of knowledge and taste would lend itself to any project. Thanks again, Heather!"

"We had hired a tree service company in the fall to cut down old tree and remove stump. Although they guaranteed the stump was removed, it was NOT. Cody and his helper (didn't get his name) were amazing! They worked for hours chopping out the stump. They were hard working, polite, professional, informative, friendly...I cannot say enough about these two young men. It is great to know that work ethic still exists. Would definitely recommend Quality Gardens"

"It went very well. I contacted this artist to create a stunning and lifelike self portrait. I then sent photos and payment. In less than a week I had a stunning rendition of myself in both pencil and watercolor. Lance is always courteous and professional. I highly recommend his services to everyone and will do business with him again soon!"

"Took down old wall and installed one that is so much better. The wall is about 100 feet in length and around 3 feet in height. In addition, they removed a lot of overgrowth on the side yard and placed mulch down. This was all done in about one week by only two workers. Amazing work and very professional. Amanda was great in helping us pick out the colors we wanted for the wall and for the mulch as well. She also went over the care for the landscaped area and the new grass. Overall a great company to work with and one that I would easily hire again when necessary."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Pittsburgh, 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.
