Question 2

What is the process of working with Christmas Decor?

Accepted Answer

ESTIMATE:
Send us a street view photo so we can put together a free, line-item estimate.

ACCEPT:
Choose the options that fit your style and budget.
Select color theme for this year (most can be changed at no additional cost from year-to-year with the exception of greenery items).
Specify your ideal “go live” date.
Submit a signed proposal with 50% deposit.

INSTALL:
Installations occur in phases beginning as early as October 1st.
Timers are left (plugged into an outlet) so when you are ready to “go live”, simply plug your extensions cords into your timer.
Should anything go wrong, please let us know immediately via the Service Request Form. We try to resolve issues within 48 hours, safety permitting.
When you’re ready to turn your lights off, simply unplug the extension cords from your timer(s), but leave your timer plugged into the outlet.

TAKEDOWN:
We begin takedowns the first week of January. Please ensure we are aware if you’d like to leave your lights on later.
Takedowns usually occur in phases and are usually completed by February. Due to weather and light restrictions, we may accidentally leave something on or behind. Please just let us know so we can remove it in a timely manner.

RENEWAL:
Renewal contracts start going out in January and you’re eligible for various discounts and payment plans. Our 10-Pay plan enables you to split your lighting costs into 10 monthly payments that automatically pay from your credit card.

CHANGES:
Changes to your lighting package should be made prior to acceptance and no later than September 1st for renewals.

We use commercial-grade LED lights. These are not the old-style LEDs that contain a bluish hue to them (a common misconception). The LED lights are safer and more energy-efficient than incandescent. We have a variety of colors available, including but not limited to: Warm White, Winter White, Red, Green, Pink, Blue, Amber, Purple and Orange.
