Christmas Light Installation in Douglas Lake, TN

Four steps. You call or send the quote form, we come out to Douglas Lake and measure the property, you get a fixed written price with a design, and then you pick an install date. Nothing is cut or ordered until you approve the quote, and the price on that quote is the price you pay.

No. We only need access to the exterior and your outdoor outlets, so most customers are at work while we install. We do like you to look at it after dark the first night — if you want a run adjusted or a tree added, that is the easiest time to tell us.

Most single-family homes take three to six hours with a crew of two to four. Larger cabins, steep pitches and commercial properties can run into a second day. We tell you which one yours is when we quote it, not on the morning we show up.

Ours. We own the LEDs, clips and timers and lease you a lit property for the season, so a failed strand in December is our drive and our cost. Repairs during the season are included — you call or text and we come out, and there is nothing to negotiate about who pays.

No. Everything goes up on clips sized to your shingle, gutter, standing seam or trim profile. We do not use nails, screws, staples or adhesive on any surface, and nothing stays behind after January takedown.

Yes, and it is already in your price. Takedown in Douglas Lake starts after New Year's and runs through January as weather allows. Everything then gets tested, repaired, labeled to your property and stored in our building until next fall, so there is nothing in your attic or garage.

Most first-season residential displays in Douglas Lake land between $700 and $2,500. A single-story roofline with a clean entry sits near the bottom of that; a two-story with dormers, wrapped trees and lift access sits near the top. Commercial properties are quoted individually because there is no useful average.

Rarely the bulbs. It is linear footage, height, roof pitch, whether the roof can be walked, whether a lift can reach the peaks, and how many times a crew has to reposition to work safely. Two houses on the same street can be a thousand dollars apart on access alone.

One price covers design, the leased commercial-grade LEDs cut to your property, installation, every in-season repair, takedown and storage. There is no trip charge, no service call fee and no storage fee. The only thing that changes the total is you asking us to add to the display.

No. Every address in Sevier County is priced the same way, and a repair call at the far end of the county gets the same response as one two minutes from the shop.

Usually, yes. The design, measurements and cut material already exist after year one, so renewals price lower than a first install. Most returning customers change one thing and leave the rest of the display alone.

A deposit holds your install date once you approve the quote, and the balance is due after the display is installed and you have seen it lit. We will never ask for the full amount before any work happens.

Summer if you want to choose your week. Booking opens in July, installs start in late September, and because Winterfest pulls commercial and rental-cabin work into October, the residential dates that put lights up before Thanksgiving are usually committed by mid-October here.

Almost never too late, but your options narrow to whatever dates are left, and a stretch of rain or an early freeze leaves little slack to move them. We still get people lit before Christmas most years — cancellations happen, so it is worth the call.

Better weather, safer roofs and a schedule that is not compressed. The display sits dark on a timer until the date you choose, so an early install costs you nothing and buys you a safer, less rushed job.

Yes, if you book early enough. High-demand dates like the weekend before Thanksgiving are the first to go once October arrives, so name the date you want when you call rather than assuming it will still be open in the fall.

We reschedule, usually within a few days, and prioritize by how tight your remaining window is. Wet roofs and ice are the two things we will not work on, and no display is worth putting a crew on a slick pitch.

That is a large share of what we do. We schedule around guest turnover, set and test the timers so nobody has to find a switch, and handle any in-season service without you or a guest on site. We will also send photos of the finished install for your winter listing.

Yes, with product rated for the environment and connections kept clear of the water. We assess it on site.

No. Many of our lake customers are second-home owners. We install, test and send photos.

Yes, we account for seasonal drawdown when placing anything near the water line so the display still looks right as the level changes through the season.

Yes, and we usually recommend it. Most families spend December evenings on the water side, so we prioritize that elevation if budget requires a choice.

It's built into how we install rather than a separate line item — extra clips, sealed connections and drip loops on lakefront runs are just part of doing the job right out there.
