🎅 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Everything you need to know before lighting up your home this holiday season.

Q: What areas do you service?

We proudly serve the entire Rio Grande Valley, including McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Alamo, San Juan, Donna, Weslaco, and Harlingen.

Q: When do you start installing Christmas lights?

We begin installations in early November, and spots fill up fast. Commercial and large residential projects may start as early as late October.

Q: How do I get a quote?

Simply fill out our Free Quote Form or text/call us at 956-586-5122.
You can upload a picture of your home or a roof sketch — we’ll estimate your footage and send a quote within 24 hours.

Q: Are the lights included in the price?

Yes! We supply commercial-grade LED lights that are custom-cut to fit your home perfectly. You don’t have to buy or provide anything.

Q: Can I use my own lights?

We typically use our own professional-grade lights to guarantee safety, quality, and easy maintenance. However, if you already own compatible lights, we can review them during your consultation.

Q: What’s the difference between your lights and store-bought ones?

Our C9 LED bulbs are professional-grade, brighter, energy-efficient, and built to last for years. They’re also custom-cut to fit your roofline — no tangled cords, sagging, or uneven spacing.

Q: Do you drill holes or cause damage to my roof?

No. We use special no-damage clips that safely attach to shingles, gutters, or edges without drilling or leaving marks.

Q: How long does installation take?

Most homes are completed within 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and layout of your roofline, trees, or yard features.

Q: Do I need to be home for the installation?

Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access to power outlets and your property is accessible, we can complete the installation without you being home.

Q: What kind of power or outlets do I need?

A standard outdoor 110V outlet is usually all we need. We’ll connect everything through weatherproof cords and a timer so your lights turn on and off automatically.

Q: What if a bulb goes out or something stops working?

No worries — in-season maintenance is included! Just text or call us, and we’ll come fix it as soon as possible.

Q: Do you take the lights down after the holidays?

Yes — takedown is included with every full installation package. We’ll carefully remove, label, and organize your lights after the season (usually in January).

Q: What happens if there’s bad weather?

Our installations are built to handle South Texas weather. If severe storms cause issues, we’ll inspect and repair your setup as part of your service guarantee.

Q: Can you store the lights for next year?

Yes! We offer optional storage service so you don’t have to deal with boxes or tangled cords. We’ll label each section for easy reinstallation next season.

Q: Do I own the lights?

Lights are leased for the season unless you choose a Buy & Store package. That means you can either rent lights yearly or purchase your own for long-term reinstallation.

Q: How much does it cost to install Christmas lights?

Every home is unique, but most projects range from $249 to $1,499+, depending on roofline length, number of peaks, and extras like trees or yard stakes. You can also send us a picture of the house or your roof measurements for a faster, more accurate quote..

Q: How do I reserve my spot?

You can text/call us at 956-586-5122. A deposit may be required to reserve your installation date.

Q: Do you offer discounts?

Yes — we offer early booking discounts and returning customer specials for those who schedule before November 1st.

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit/debit cards, cash, and after pay financing and digital payments (through invoices or secure links)

Q: Are you insured?

Q: Do you work with commercial properties?

Absolutely — we handle commercial, retail, office, and HOA lighting projects. We’ll design a lighting layout that fits your property and budget.
