Most homeowners hire this out for one reason: the roofline. Ground-level lights and wreaths are a Saturday. A two-storey gutter line in November is a ladder in the cold, and it is where people get hurt.
[VERIFY WHETHER A PRE-SEASON WALKTHROUGH IS INCLUDED.] Rooflines, columns, trees and beds all light differently and the estimate depends on which you want.
[VERIFY WHETHER LIGHTS ARE PROVIDED BY ALEJANDRO'S OR THE HOMEOWNER, and if provided, whether they are leased for the season or bought outright.] This is the single biggest question on any holiday lighting quote.
[VERIFY HEIGHT CAPABILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FALL PROTECTION.] Confirm clips are used rather than staples or nails — fasteners driven into fascia cause damage that shows up as a leak years later.
[VERIFY WHICH GROUND-LEVEL ELEMENTS ARE OFFERED — wrapped trunks, shrub washes, wreaths, garland, walkway markers.]
[VERIFY WHETHER TIMERS ARE SET UP and how circuits are managed so the whole display is not on one outlet.]
[VERIFY WHETHER MID-SEASON REPAIRS ARE INCLUDED.] Bulbs fail and wind moves things. Whether someone comes back out is worth confirming.
[VERIFY WHETHER TAKEDOWN IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE, the window it happens in, and whether lights are stored over the year.]
[VERIFY ALL HOLIDAY LIGHTING CAPABILITY, EQUIPMENT, INSURANCE AND CONTRACT STRUCTURE WITH DORIAN. Nothing on this page is confirmed. Work at height on a customer's roof carries real liability — do not publish until insurance coverage is verified.]
[VERIFY HOLIDAY LIGHTING PRICING BASIS — per linear foot of roofline, per element, or a flat seasonal package.] What moves the number most is linear footage, house height, and whether the price includes the lights themselves or just labour. A two-storey roofline costs considerably more than a ranch of the same frontage.
[VERIFY WHICH MODEL ALEJANDRO'S USES.] Both exist in this trade. A lease model means commercial-grade lights sized to your house, swapped out when they fail, and stored over the year — higher first season, lower after. Using your own lights costs less up front but the installer cannot warranty strands they did not buy.
[VERIFY WHETHER TAKEDOWN IS INCLUDED OR PRICED SEPARATELY, and the window it happens in.] Worth pinning down on any quote — a price that leaves you on a ladder in January is not the same price as one that does not.
Proper installation uses plastic clips that hook over the shingle edge or gutter lip and come off without a trace. What causes damage is staples and nails driven through fascia or trim — those leave holes that let water in and show up as a problem years later. [VERIFY FASTENING METHOD USED.]
[VERIFY BOOKING WINDOW.] Earlier than most people expect. Holiday lighting crews here are typically booked out by late October, and the last two weeks before Thanksgiving are the hardest to get. Calling in December usually means waiting until next season.
[VERIFY WHETHER IN-SEASON SERVICE CALLS ARE INCLUDED and the response time.] Strands fail and wind shifts things. Whether someone comes back out, and whether it costs extra, is one of the real differences between installers.
Daylight is fine. The roofline, the trees out front, and where the nearest outdoor outlet is.
