Great. I cringe paying that much money for holiday decorating but the peace of mind knowing that I didn't have to worry about it, was very worth it.

Description of Work: They put Christmas lights up around house and then removed them after Christmas. Any problems I had they came out and fixed them. I will use them again next year.

We have used them for years, they have done a good job. The only quality less than perfect is that we would like to have LED lighting, and they have not offered that in the past years. Some people would like that, and they should inquire, but we haven't had them in the past couple of years. They came out early around mid November and we didn't plug them until we needed them, and then they came and took them down in January. We had left some messages to find out if our contract was finalized. We had called them around three times, and then the owner finally called us.
Description of Work: We used The Light Before Christmas.

Description of Work: We contact the company after receiving a flyer in the mail. An employee came to our home to estimate services. We were told we would receive a call and an email in a few days, and that service could be complete the next week. We had to make three follow up calls and were continually given different excuses for the delay. After finally deciding to go with another company, we were called a few weeks later to set up service! Poor customer service is the reason we will not use this provider again.

They did provide a prompt quote in early November. After the contract was signed, I was schedule for installation within a few weeks. Due to rainy weather, install was delayed a couple days. After our Christmas lighting was installed, we did have two service calls (first for lights being out and secondly a part of roof line string was dangling after strong winds). Response time to the service calls were prompt and quickly taken care of.
Description of Work: Installation of Christmas lights on seven trees, roof line and garland wrapped on porch pillars.

These guys did a great job! They came out on a Thur to look at the house - we didnt even need to be there! Tim called that evening with a recommendation which we went with after a couple tweaks. They said they would have a crew there the next Monday and they did. The project was finished by that evening and it looks fantastic. It would have taken us a week to do what these guys did an half a day.
Description of Work: Tim and his crew designed and hung Christmas lights on our house and in our landscaping including a circle in our driveway.

Ive criticized this company in the past for their service and confusing prices and for going over estimate. I am happy to report good service this year with a price list that is simple and easy to understand. They did run out of large wreaths, but Im sure they will order more next year. The phone is always busy, but Tammy did return my call a day or two later (this was Thanksgiving week so I suggest planning and calling earlier!). Please note that I am a tough grader....
Description of Work: 2 small lighted wreaths and 10 sets of icicle lights were installed on the front of my home and connected to my timer.

The Light Before Christmas hung the lights and installed the spot lights, however 5 of the 8 spot lights did not work and a partial strand of lights wrapped around a tree bark did not work. I contacted them and they said it would be 2 days until they could come out to fix. They came out, but none of the lights worked. I contacted them for a 2nd time. I had to wait 2 more days. They supposedly came out, but the lights still do not work. I am extremely frustrated with this company and their lack of professionalism in promptly taking care of a problem. It is now a week later and the lights still do not work.
Description of Work: I hired The Light Before Christmas to hang Christmas lights as well as install spot lights for Christmas decorating.

I HAD CONTRACTED FOR $200 WORTH OF CHRISTMAS ICICLE LIGHTS ON OUR HOUSE, BUT THEY MISSED THEIR APPOINTED DAY DUE TO OVER SCHEDULING. I CALLED AT 4 PM AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE OUT, BUT LIGHTS BEFORE CHRISTMAS FINALLY CALLED AFTER 9 PM TO SAY THEY HAD CALLED THEIR CREWS IN AND WOULD BE OUT TWO DAYS LATER BUT WOULD NOT COMMIT TO A TIME. AS IT HAPPENED, THE NEXT DAY THE ROOFING COMPANY SAID DONT PUT ANY LIGHTS UP UNTIL AFTER THE ROOF WORK IS DONE, SO I ENDED UP CANCELING MY ORDER. LIGHTS BEFORE CHRISTMAS IS NOT VERY CUSTOMER-FRIENDLY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE BUT I HAVENT FOUND A COMPETITOR THAT EVEN RETURNS PHONE CALLS.
