Every strand we hang is cut to your roofline. That measurement happens on a ladder in daylight, in mild weather, weeks before the first install truck rolls. Homes measured in October get cleaner lines than homes measured in a December rush.

Early booking also protects your install date. Thanksgiving week is the busiest stretch of our year, and the properties lit before the first guests arrive are almost always the ones on the books by Halloween.

Finally, October walkthroughs let us solve problems calmly: an outlet that needs a timer, a tree that has outgrown last year's wrap, a peak that needs a lift rather than a ladder.
