Q: What is this going to cost?
A: Ah, the most important factor. There is not a minimum home price, as every install is totally different. Some displays may be simple and low key, while others may be large enough to use enough electricity to add another circuit! We run the gamut of job sizes, so this is often the most difficult to answer question we receive. On average, homes start at around $400-$500, including lights.
Q: Will you hang lights I already own?
A: Yes and no. While we will hang and install pre-owned lighting, we cannot guarantee the quality, and therefore maintain the right to refuse to install certain lighting and allot time to maintain said lighting. Holiday lights can be notoriously difficult to troubleshoot, and while we may be good at it, we cannot work on products not supplied through our service.
Q: Do I need to supply anything?
A: No! We handle every aspect of the job, including sourcing. We work with various vendors to supply our customers the highest grade, commercial quality lightning for the most affordable prices, bundled into our service. Being as we do not rent lights, the lights are yours to keep and use however you see fit.
Q: When will everything be installed?
A: We start our installations in October, and finish them up the week leading into Christmas. Generally, turn around time from receiving a quote to job completion is 7-10 days.
Q: Do I need to sign up for a plan?
A: Of course not! No need to add more chaos to your life than there already is. We are fully confident in our ability to perform our service, and are sure you’ll want to have us hang your lights again, so we never try and lock you in.
Q: When will everything be taken down?
A: We will contact you January 2nd regarding a day would like your lights to be taken down. We know some like to keep the holidays going a bit longer, while others prefer them to be over and done with. We accomodate both varieties. Generally, lights are down by the third week of January, granted special requests.
Q: Do you decorate for any other holidays?
A: Philly Christmas Company is not just for Christmas! We decorate for every holiday but focus on Christmas lights. We can also do party and wedding lighting.
Q: Are you insured?
A: Yes, Philly Christmas Co. carries a $1,000,000 liability policy so you are completely protected.
