"They painted all the wood trim on the house, along with the front porch and rear deck; felled, cut and stacked two fallen trees; and installed a new fence around our pool. They did excellent work and were very communicative and prompt with their service!"

"It didn't well from the beginning there were price changes and items that were not clear. Was told that a deep cleaning was going to be done but there were multiple areas not cleaned. The master bath shower was not cleaned. A nightstand was not cleaned because it had papers and other items on it. Dresser was partially cleaned around items atop it. So dust still remained. Breakfast room table lower level still had dust on it. Hired knowing there was a small construction area that needed vacuuming and she did not clean the sheetrock dust and any misc pulled nails. This cleaning co mentioned doing post construction cleaning, so its not clear how could this small area of work get ignored."

"I actually had four lamps rewired and new lamp shades fitted and purchased. They were expensive lamps and well worth the costs of repair. The lamp shades were perfectly sized to the lamps and accented them beautifully. All work done was as promised and they were ready in a few days, Hershel is very professional and explains everything that they will do Highly recommend them. They carry a huge selection of lighting fixtures of all kinds and shades and hardware to go with them. I highly recommend them."

"These guys are very friendly and knowledgeable. They changed a broken window pane, replaced all of my lighting fixtures & did demo work and installation for a new dishwasher & garbage disposal. They were able to meet my contracting needs on many different levels & I was happy to get so many projects completed. There was some confusion in the billing but Mr. Meeler was helpful & prompt in correcting the error. I would recommend this company to friends & coworkers. The only two negatives: they were late each of the 3 days & they talk a lot, which slows the completion & increases the billable hours (though not purposefully). Good workers overall"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Watkinsville, GA

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.
