Question:
I DON’T WANT HOLES/STAPLES IN MY HOUSE?

Answer:
Most homes have soffitt on the edge of the house and roof lines, in probably 99% of new homes, there is a lip or edge on the bottom side on the soffit. We use clips that do not require staples or holes, they are sturdy and easily removed when the season is over. 

Sometimes to hang wreaths or garland around an entry we may have to install a small hook.

Question:
IF ONE LIGHT BURNS OUT DO THEY ALL BURN OUT?

Answer:
No, we almost exclusively use “C-9” bulbs on all of our houses, that give a bright & brilliant look.  They are not wired in series, so if one were to come out of the socket the others stay lit! And many of the miniatures that we use on shrubbery are also wired similarly and if one bulbs comes out of the socket the others stay lit.

Question:
WHAT KIND OF LIGHTS DO YOU USE?

Answer:
On most all cases on the houses we use “C-9” bulbs, these are the best looking lights to put on homes. We also use lighted garlands and wreaths, plus many more products.

Question:
CAN I LEAVE THEM UP AFTER CHRISTMAS?

Answer:
Absolutely, you are welcome to have your lights until springtime. Most customers want their lights down early and off as soon as Christmas is over… If you have a specific request such as you want your lights down very early after Christmas or you want them up till the end of winter… tell us when we are writing your estimate and we will make a note on the top of your estimate.
