Questions about Christmas lights
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Melrose and nearby towns?
Prices are by roofline length and include the lights, install and takedown: $695 for up to 60 ft, $895 for 61 to 90 ft, $1,095 for 91 to 120 ft, $1,295 for 121 to 150 ft, $1,695 for 151 to 200 ft, and from $2,095 beyond that. Icicle drops are $10 per linear foot installed (120 ft is $1,200). Bushes, tree wraps, wreaths, walkway lights and lit decor pieces you keep (reindeer, Santa, sleigh scene, giant wreath, walkway arches, mega tree) are extra. You get a final price by text before anything is installed.
How much are icicle lights?
Icicle drops hanging from the eave are $10 per linear foot installed, so 120 ft is $1,200. Install and January takedown are included, same as the roofline price. Set the footage in the price tool.
When do you install and when do you take the lights down?
Installs run November through mid December. Book by December 15 to get on the schedule. Takedown is in January; we text you a takedown day. Decor pieces you bought are yours to keep.
Do I keep the gifts?
Yes, the gifts are yours to keep.
Will lights damage my roof or gutters?
We attach lights with clips made for gutters, shingle edges and trim, not nails or staples through roofing. Tell us before install about loose gutters, brittle shingles or an old roof and we will say whether we can hang there. If something we did is damaged, tell us and we will make it right.
Are you insured?
Text us and we will send our insurance details before your install date.
What about power, outlets and timers?
The lights plug into an exterior outlet on your house. Every install comes with a lit door wreath and a smart outdoor timer plug. We hang the wreath, set the timer to run at dusk for several hours, and leave both with you: they are yours to keep. If you have no outdoor outlet, tell us in the form; we need one within reach of the roofline or a plan for it before install.
What if the lights go out or a strand fails?
If anything goes out during the season, text us and we fix it free. LED strands rarely fail, but wind and animals can knock one loose.
Can my HOA or condo association block this?
Some do. Check your rules about exterior lighting and dates before you book. We can send a short description of what we install for your association if you need one.
How does the deposit work?
50% to book, the rest the day the lights go up. The deposit holds your install slot and comes off the total. The deposit is refundable until November 20, unless your lights are already up. After November 20, or once they are installed, it is applied to your install and not refunded. Custom displays work the same way.
Is there a discount if I also have a Snow Pass?
Yes. Snow Pass + holiday lights takes 10% off the lights, up to $100. One discount per order, so it does not combine with a promo or code (we apply whichever saves you more). Check the box on the booking form and we confirm it by text.
Which towns do you cover?
55 towns, starting with Melrose: Melrose, Malden, Medford, Stoneham, Wakefield, Saugus, Reading, Lynnfield and more. Lights only, no plowing, in Weston, Wellesley, Dover, Lincoln, Concord, Carlisle, Sudbury, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Hamilton, Wenham, Boxford, North Andover. Pick yours in the form; if it is not listed we will check.
Can I see what the lights will look like first?
Yes. Our free visualizer at gethollyhush.com/lights lets you try a look on a photo of your house. Bring your chosen look back here and the booking form fills in.
We hang lights in all 43 towns where we plow (see the service area) and in 12 more towns where we do lights only: Weston, Wellesley, Dover, Lincoln, Concord, Carlisle, Sudbury, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Hamilton, Wenham, Boxford, North Andover. Towns with a local page link to it; the rest are booked from the form on this page. The typical tier is the roofline size of the usual house in that town (an illustration, not a quote).
