Before you choose
What are the risks and common mistakes?
Knowing these before you book saves money and a second trip.
- Waiting until December. Install dates fill up in November.
- Mixing old and new strands. Older strands fail mid-season; test them first or switch to LED.
- Overloading one outlet. We plan the runs so circuits are not overloaded.
- Leaving lights up all year on clips meant for one season. That is what permanent systems are for.
Fit
Who is this service best for?
Busy households
Lights without a cold Saturday on a ladder.
Game-day fans
Permanent lights you can set to blue and white.
Seniors
No ladder risk for you.
Rental hosts
Curb appeal for the season.
Who is this not right for?
- Steep or tall roofs where lights must go on the roof itself: we do not do roof work.
- Large commercial displays.
How it works
What happens after you text us a photo?
We call this the Photo-to-Flat-Price Method. It is how most of our jobs start, and it means you know the price before any work begins.
- Text a photo. Send a clear photo and one line about the job to (859) 438-2150. Add a second photo from farther back so we can see the whole area.
- Get a flat price. We reply within one business day with one flat price for the job, or an hourly estimate if the job can't be judged from a photo.
- Pick a time. Reply to book, or book online. Bigger jobs get a free on-site estimate first.
- We do it right. Frank does the work himself. If a job turns out different from the photo, such as hidden rot, we stop and talk with you before doing any extra work.
- Pay your way, backed for a year. Pay by cash, card, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App or Apple Pay. Labor on every job is guaranteed for one year.
