Sent you a PM 

I seriously can't imagine anyone spending that. Wow!! 

What happened to using a ladder and doing it yourself?

Between having lawn service, pool service, maid service...now people want lights hung by a service?

Wow. 

I have a bad hip and can't do it myself
I was just curious No need to attack 

Some are not physically able to do themselves... 

It's not a bad thing to have it done professionally! Most of the most beautiful houses during the holidays have a company come out.

That being said, we don't like to spend money on it and have always done our own. But I am sure envious of that super polished look of those professionally decorated ones.

Good luck finding someone.

Is it really that expensive? 

From what I'm reading on Facebook, most companies start at $1000. Seems like a very lucrative business to be in. I should learn how! 

Wow! Guess is why me house has never had the lights and guess never will! 

Holy Cow!! I was thinking about have a minimum amount done, but my thought was around $100.00 or less!! 

yeah, I was shocked at the prices too. I guess there is enough demand. And everybody wants it done the same few weeks. 

I used to tell son that the neighbors were sharing their lights with us since we could not do...lol 

It's probably so expensive because of liability insurance. Plus there's a limited time frame to work in. 

they also come back and take down... 

Well, I'd do it myself first. That's just ridiculous.

I've spent two weeks getting stuff ready, checking lights and putting them up. It's quite the task if you put up a lot..,,cords, lights, and doing it so the house doesn't go dark the minute someone turns on a blow dryer. LOL

But 1k?? Not unless you've got a huge house and are looking for something very extensive and professional. Most people take a couple hours and their done. 

It is a dangerous job. I know my dh fell off the roof at least twice! That was younger years and he is no longer allowed to get up there! I miss it though but to do lights like he did back then would cost a bundle. I think we will stick to doing the porch and bushes this year. 

Blisslights are an option.




I pay someone because our second story roofline is over 25 feet off the ground in some part. But $500 does seems a bit "steep". 

My son will help anyone for $10/hour
if it is a 2 person job he can bring a friend. Both boys charge $10/hour per person....so $20/hour for a 2 man job.
