Ask Our TeamPlanning & Design
How early should I book my holiday lighting installation?
Prime install dates fill up 6-8 weeks before the holiday season. We recommend booking by early November for December installations. Last-minute requests may have limited availability and higher urgency fees.
Can you work with my HOA rules and restrictions?
Absolutely. We coordinate with HOAs across Austin including Steiner Ranch, Great Hills, Davenport Ranch, and Lakeway. We'll review your CC&Rs and design a compliant display that meets both your aesthetic goals and community guidelines.
Do you provide design renderings before installation?
Yes, we create digital renderings for most projects. Our design team will show you exactly how your property will look, including lighting patterns, color schemes, and focal points. This helps avoid surprises and ensures you're completely satisfied with the design.
How do you handle custom color schemes or themed displays?
We specialize in custom designs! Whether you want RGB color-changing lights synced to music, branded colors for commercial properties, or themed displays for events, our LED inventory and programming expertise make it possible.
Installation & Safety
Do you use nails or damage my property?
Never. We use clip systems, adhesive hooks, and cable management that protects your rooflines, siding, and landscaping. Our crews are trained in safe installation techniques and carry $2M liability insurance.
How do you ensure displays stay bright all season?
We map every circuit load, use commercial-grade LEDs, install smart timers, and perform proactive maintenance checks. If any strand goes out, our on-call maintenance crew responds within hours, not days.
What about Austin weather: rain, wind, and cold temperatures?
Texas weather is factored into every design. We use weather-resistant LEDs, install drip loops to prevent water damage, and engineer for Hill Country winds. Our displays are built to withstand Austin's variable conditions.
How long does installation take?
Typical residential installs take 4-8 hours for a full display. Commercial projects vary by scope. We coordinate with your schedule and provide detailed timelines so you know exactly when to expect our crew.
Maintenance & Removal
What if something goes out during the season?
We offer season-long maintenance with rapid response. Most outages are fixed within hours. Our team carries spare parts and can often repair issues on-site without shutting down your entire display.
Do you handle removal and storage?
Yes! Post-season removal, labeling, repairs, and climate-controlled storage are included with full-service packages. Everything is organized and ready for next year's faster, easier reinstallation.
How much does annual maintenance cost?
Season-long maintenance is bundled with installation packages. It includes proactive check-ins, rapid repairs, and ensures your display stays perfect for the entire holiday season.
Pricing & Services
What services do you offer?
Residential & commercial installations, custom holiday designs, LED upgrades, event lighting, drone light shows, projection mapping, removal & storage, and consultation services. We handle everything from single-strand repairs to multi-acre commercial displays.
Do you offer energy-efficient LED options?
All our installations use premium LEDs. They're 80% more efficient than traditional bulbs, last 50,000+ hours, and can be programmed for color-changing effects. Most displays use less electricity than holiday baking!
What areas do you serve?
We serve Austin and surrounding areas including Cedar Park, Round Rock, Lakeway, Georgetown, Dripping Springs, Pflugerville, and Leander. Travel fees may apply for properties outside the Austin metro area.
Can you work with my existing lighting?
Often yes! We can repair, upgrade, or integrate with existing displays. If your current setup needs work, we'll assess it during consultation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
