Question 1

How much does professional Christmas light installation cost in Wisconsin?

Accepted Answer

Our first-season packages are The Classic Glow at $1,495, The Showcase at $2,795, and The Estate Glow starting at $4,995. Every package includes a free assessment, custom design proposal, commercial-grade LEDs you own, professional install, all-season service calls, and January takedown. Renewal pricing on the Glow Care Plan starts at $795/yr for Classic, $1,495/yr for Showcase, and $2,695/yr for Estate.

Question 2

When should I book my holiday lighting install?

Accepted Answer

Book by November 1 for a guaranteed lit-by-Thanksgiving install. We start free assessments in September and install between October 15 and December 10. The earlier you book, the more install-date flexibility you have.

Question 3

Do I own the lights, or are you renting them to me?

Accepted Answer

You own them. Every strand is commercial-grade LED and custom-cut to your home. The optional Glow Care Plan stores your lights in our conditioned space and reinstalls them each fall at renewal pricing — you still own the lights.

Question 4

What happens if a bulb burns out mid-season?

Accepted Answer

You call or text Abby at 262-683-GLOW (4569) and we come out and fix it free all season. Bulb and section replacements are covered start-to-finish.

Question 5

Do you staple or screw into my house?

Accepted Answer

Never. We use commercial-grade plastic clips designed for shingles, gutters, and fascia — zero fastener holes, zero damage. If you can see a hole after we leave, we made a mistake and we will fix it.

Question 6

Will professional Christmas lights raise my electric bill a lot?

Accepted Answer

No. Every strand we install is commercial-grade LED on a timer — you're looking at a few dollars a month for a full display, not a jump on your bill.

Question 7

My neighborhood has HOA rules — can you still design something?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design within your HOA's color, height, and run-time guidelines. Send us the rules with your assessment and we build the design around them.

Question 8

What about snow and ice — do the lights hold up in a Wisconsin winter?

Accepted Answer

Our LEDs, clips, and connections are rated for Wisconsin winters. If snow, ice, or wind moves a strand, our service crew comes out and re-secures it free all season.

Question 9

When do you take the lights down?

Accepted Answer

Standard takedown runs January 2 to 15. Extended runs are available — through New Year's Day is included free, and through Valentine's Day is a $195 add-on.

Question 10

Do you also do Halloween?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our sister brand Grime Reaper Halloween Haunts installs professional Halloween displays across Lake Country. Grime Reaper customers get first-in-line Glow Guard installs on the same November visit. See grimereaperhaunts.com.
