Holiday Décor & Lighting, Done Safely

Exterior Lights & Wreaths
We install roofline lights with ladder stabilizers and proper in-use outlet covers and GFCI protection. We’ll plan load distribution, use outdoor-rated cords/timers, and avoid damage to gutters, shingles, and siding.

Porch & Entry Styling
From wreaths and garlands to path lighting, we secure décor to withstand wind and ice, no loose wires, no blocked egress.

Tree Setup & Safety
We’ll assemble and stage artificial trees, check outlets and extension routing, and anchor tall trees discreetly to prevent tip-overs (especially with pets/kids).

Smart Plugs & Timers
Set on/off schedules that match your routine. Pair with dimmers to keep rooms cozy without glare, ask us to add a few smart dimmers while we’re there.

Entertaining-Ready Rooms (Fast Interior Wins)

TV Mounting & Cable Hiding
We mount TVs to studs with rated hardware, set safe heights, and conceal cords with in-wall kits or raceways. Want a mantle-friendly niche? We’ll discuss a light carpentry solution and reference Custom Carpentry for larger media walls.

Guest Room Refresh

• Install shade hardware and blackout liners for better sleep.
  
  
• Add closet rods, shelving, or a simple luggage perch.

Safety First, Anchoring & Childproofing

Furniture Anchoring
We stud-mount anti-tip straps on dressers, hutches, bookcases, and tall cabinets. Hardware is matched to material (MDF, plywood, solid) and installed at proper height and spacing.

Gate & Latch Solutions
Secure baby gates at top/bottom of stairs; adjust door latches that slam or pinch; add slow-close devices where helpful.

Trip-Hazard Reduction
Bundle cords, secure rug corners, add low-profile ramps over thresholds, and install grab bars (stud-mounted, ADA-height) in key bath zones.

Smoke/CO & Extinguisher Checks
We’ll test alarms, add missing units, and review extinguisher locations and ratings (kitchen/garage).

Warm Lighting & Cozy Controls

Layered Light Quickly

• Ambient: quiet, low-glare fixtures.
  
  
• Task: under-cabinet LED bars for prep areas.
  
  
• Accent: picture lights on hutches, toe-kick LEDs for night paths.
  
  

Dimmers & Scenes
Program Evening / Dinner / Movie / Nightlight so your home shifts with the moment. We’ll label wall plates for easy use.

Small Carpentry That Makes a Big Holiday Difference

Mudroom Add-Ons
Quick coat hooks, cubbies, and shoe trays tame the guest influx. We scribe to uneven walls/floors for a built-since-day-one look. For larger transformations, plan a January mudroom built-in via Custom Carpentry.

Pantry Tweaks
Add a couple of roll-outs or tray dividers so entertaining gear is at your fingertips. We can also add LED strips for better visibility.

Door Tuning
Quiet squeaks, adjust strikes/hinges, and add soft-close where appropriate, tiny fixes that make hosting feel seamless.

Post-Holiday Take-Down & New-Year Reset

Safe Take-Down & Storage
We coil lights, label bins, and stage storage so next December is easy. If you want to reclaim space, add shelving to basements/garages and anchor it to studs.

Donation Runs & Junk Removal
We can box up decorations you’re done with, haul broken items, and route donatable goods appropriately, see add-ons on Services, then book through Contact.

New-Year Interior Goals
Schedule January/February projects: built-ins, closet systems, home office upgrades, or a powder room facelift. Winter is perfect for interior carpentry.

Pricing & Scheduling (Transparent, Flexible)

How we price: scope (number of tasks), access (ladders/height), electrical add-ons (dimmers, outlets), and storage solutions. You’ll get a clear, itemized estimate, no surprise fees.

When to book: We hold holiday-priority slots in late November and December. If you need evening or weekend installs, tell us in your quote request and we’ll aim to accommodate.

FAQs

Can you do lights and interior tasks in one visit?
Yes, bundling saves time and money. We’ll plan the order (exterior first in daylight, interior after).

Do you supply décor or lights?
Most clients provide décor/lights; we can source hardware, timers, dimmers, anchors, and mounting supplies.

Are exterior light installs weather-dependent?
We work in most conditions. For roof/ladder work, we’ll choose a safe window or split across days.

Will you remove décor in January?
Yes, book a take-down visit now so you’re on the calendar.

Do you carry insurance?
