Common questions
When should I book holiday lights?
Book early in the fall if you want prime dates. Once Thanksgiving gets close, crews are usually booked solid, and weather can push everyone back.
Do I buy the lights or does the installer provide them?
Most professional installers provide commercial-grade lights cut to your roofline. Some will install customer-owned lights, but they may not warranty old strands or mixed products.
Is holiday light installation licensed in Texas?
Temporary plug-in light hanging is not a state-licensed trade. If the job needs a new outlet, permanent wiring, or panel work, that part needs a licensed Texas electrical contractor.
Will you come back if a section goes out?
Most installers include in-season service on lights they provide. Wind, salt air, and rain can loosen clips or expose weak connections, so service terms should be clear before install day.
Can you do palms and tall trees?
Yes when access is safe. Palm wraps are common around Padre Island and Southside homes. Very tall trees may need a lift, which changes scheduling and scope.
Do you take the lights down too?
Yes. Takedown is usually part of the package. The crew labels sections and stores them if storage is included, or leaves them boxed for you.
Can you install on a steep roof?
Sometimes. The installer checks pitch, height, roof material, wind, and anchor points. If access is unsafe, they may need a lift or a different layout.
