Rob Smith is a terrible employer. He has done a very poor job on my house one too many years. I’m tired of his service. He has refused to come fix my lights multiple times. And I’ve even found out he does the lights for the nursing home off of McClay, which my mother attends. And their lights look like crap, when they are actually on. I know Rob is gonna respond to this and “defend” himself. But St. Louis needs to know this is not a man you should hire.

As the owner of the company, I know every single one of our customers. I double checked with the St. Charles County Assessors website to make sure this was not a customer who had moved etc. We DO NOT and have never done any work for [Member Name Removed] or the address listed above. I imagine from the very first line, this is someone upset that has worked for me. We take pride in the fact we have a 95% customer retention and will always put our customers first. Feel free to contact us personally if you would like to receive positive and honest customer feedback.

After he called my husband he stated that he would not be charging us and that he would not be removing the lights. He also said that bad reviews did not hurt him, as he was too busy to worry about customers that he did not treat well. So Angie's list do reviews really count? Do you read them?
Description of Work: Please do not utilize this business as you will be disappointed. We used them last year and they did not do a good job and had to be called out as they did not put up the lights as expected. This year we used them again. They threw the lights on the ground and did not plug them in, threw the lights under our neighbors bushes. My husband called and left message and finally sent pics, along with an email. The owner, who prides himself on selling a "vet" service, called back finally. He told my husband that we are just a fish in the pond and we do not matter. My husband is a veteran as well, which is why we chose Rob. How disappointing to put yourself out there as a business that promotes vets and then acts this. Rob stated that he had over 400 customers to which he could treat poorly so don't be the next on his list. He is on my DO NOT RECOMMEND LIST. His crew also damaged our new Gutter Helmet that we had installed on the front of the house.

Unfortunately, the [Member name removed] were mistaken about what they had purchased last year and continued that confusion into this years install. I was accused of using used lights, when what was used is a black out cap that covers mini lights between areas you do not want lit. Several other accusations followed last year as well. I will always work to resolve any issues that a customer may have. We are not without making mistakes during our busiest time of the year and will work tirelessly to resolve those issues promptly. I can not and will not tolerate being insulted and told that I rip off customers. I installed their lighting, the email received made me realize that I will never be able to make the Gish's happy. I DID NOT CHARGE for the install, as that was a complaint of theirs, that I was ripping them off. Since no monies are being paid for install, I cannot in good conscience take down their lights for free as well. The money that they do not have to pay for install should be more than enough to cover the cost of paying a different individual for the take down. I truly wish i could make every customer happy, but after doing this for 14 years, occasionally, it is wise to part ways. My best wishes to the [Member name removed] in their future lighting endeavors.

They show up when they are supposed to and if there is a problem they try to address it and solve it. So when we needed the lights up on the 24th, they came. I would say that their price is average.

Excellent job, quality work. I did not feel too sure about the cost, but I admit that I did not check with any other provider, so this may be the going price.

The team comes to install during a time frame that is agreed upon. They're in and out rather quickly....much faster than we could ever do on our own! The lights function beautifully. They check the bulbs and if one goes out, they replace it. After the holidays, they come and remove all of the lights/decorations and store them until next year.
Description of Work: We have had Holiday Traditions install and remove our Christmas lights for the last 4 years. They are wonderful to work with, very responsive and knowledgeable. They install our lighting based on our needs and remove it after the New Year. We would highly recommend this company to others.

We've been using their services for ten years now. They've been very good! They service the lights, so if one goes out, they'll replace it. When they set a price, they don't increase the price each year.
Description of Work: They have put up Christmas lighting and then take them down. They also maintain them during the season.
