Every year, we hear the same story: a homeowner calls in late November hoping to get lights up before Thanksgiving, only to find that professional installers are already fully booked. A little planning goes a long way.
The Ideal Timeline
- September–early October: Request your free quote and lock in your design
- Mid-October: Finalize design choices and schedule your install date
- Late October–November: Professional installation, timed before the cold sets in
- After the season: Takedown and storage handled for you
Why Early Booking Matters
Professional lighting companies have a finite number of installation days between mid-October and Thanksgiving. Once that calendar fills, it's full. Booking early means you get your preferred dates, full design attention, and no rushed installs in freezing weather.
It also gives us time to custom-cut C9 strands to your home's exact roofline measurements and source any specialty décor your design calls for.
The homeowners who love their displays the most are the ones who planned ahead. Reach out in early fall and we'll handle the rest.
