What happens if a light goes out during the season?

Seasonal workmanship service is included with our holiday lighting installations. If there is an installation-related issue, contact us and we will schedule service.

When are holiday lights removed?

Removal begins in January, typically starting around the second week. Exact timing depends on route scheduling and weather.

Do I need to be home for installation or removal?

Usually not, as long as we have the access and power information needed for the project. We will confirm any property-specific details before the appointment.

Do you provide timers?

Yes. Timer setup is included with holiday lighting installations.

How early should I book holiday lighting?

Earlier is better. Holiday installation routes become more limited as the season fills, especially for preferred installation dates.

Permanent Lighting

What is permanent exterior lighting?

Permanent exterior lighting uses commercial-grade RGB/RGBW lighting systems custom-fit to the property for architectural accent lighting, holidays, game days, special occasions, and everyday use.

How are permanent lights controlled?

Permanent lighting can be app-controlled with customizable colors, scenes, schedules, and other features depending on the lighting system selected.

Can permanent lights blend into my home during the day?

Yes. We design permanent lighting installations for a clean daytime appearance, with mounting and track options selected to complement the home's soffit, fascia, or trim.

Do you install permanent lights with adhesive?

No. We use secure brackets, channels, or other appropriate mounting methods rather than relying on adhesive alone.

Do you install BlueHopper permanent lighting?

Yes. We install BlueHopper permanent roofline and architectural lighting systems. BlueHopper also offers compatible landscape and outdoor lighting options, allowing multiple areas of a property to be incorporated into a coordinated lighting system.

Do you install Govee permanent lights?

Yes. We professionally install select Govee permanent lighting systems, including Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro, Pro 2, and Prism. We use secure mounting methods for a clean, finished installation rather than relying on adhesive alone.

Do permanent lighting systems have a warranty?

Our permanent lighting installations include a 3-year workmanship warranty. Product and manufacturer warranty coverage varies by the lighting system selected.
