Frequently Asked Questions: Christmas Lighting
Our goal is to bring awe and delight to your home or business with our Christmas lighting service! We custom cut our professional LED lighting products to match your roof and gutter lines, doors, windows, paths, etc. We can customize colors and layouts to match your dream designs. If you have questions about this process, look no further! Here’s everything you need to know to have a festive home or business all season long.
Will your Christmas lights damage my house?
No! We use a variety of hanging techniques depending on where your lights are hanging, all with the explicit goal of protecting your siding, gutters, rooflines, etc.
Gutters: most of our lights are installed along gutter lines using specialized gutter clips that keep each bulb spaced evenly, and that are removed at the end of the season with no damage.
Trim: for lights hung around windows or garages, or in other places along the trim or siding, we use staples to secure the cords. When properly removed at the end of the season, these staples leave tiny holes that do not compromise your trim or siding.
Ground: lights along driveways, paths, and flowerbeds are secured using ground stakes.
Trees & Shrubs: we don’t generally use fasteners on foliage, but wrap the lights with careful tension to hold them in place without damaging the plants.
What colors are available for Christmas lights from Beautiful Day?
Many of our clients love the classic warm white lights, but other popular choices include red/white “candy cane” lights, red/green/white repeating patterns, and special “holly” accents with green and red bulbs at the corners.
Can you use lights I already have?
We provide professional grade LED lights with each lighting service. These lights are custom cut to your house, and are maintained and stored by us in the off-season. In order to ensure that your lights are safely installed and look great all season, we cannot use existing lights that you may have.
Do I need to store my lights after they are taken down?
When we say we take care of everything, we mean it! At the end of the season, we carefully label and map your lights, remove them, provide any needed maintenance, and then store them for you until next year. You don’t need to make room for your lights in your garage or attic!
PS: having your lights removed is a great time to get your gutters and roof cleaned after all those winter storms.
How are Christmas lights priced?
Christmas lights are priced by the foot. We can work with your budget to create a design that will look beautiful on your home or business. In general, our Christmas lighting services start at $750. This includes your professional grade LED lights, installation, removal, maintenance, and storage. Lighting payment is collected in three installments: a deposit, an installation payment, and a final balance when the lights are removed.
