Holiday Lighting FAQ

Straight answers about pricing, booking, install day and takedown.

Pricing & packages

How much do professional Christmas lights cost?

Packages start at $749, which covers up to 100 feet of front roofline in 2 ft spacing, plus a free wreath. Your exact price depends on your roofline and what you want lit.

What are my options?

Three: roofline only (from $749), roofline plus wreaths and bushes (from $1,149), or permanent lighting that stays up year-round (custom quote).

What's included in the price?

Design, the lights, installation, service calls all season, takedown and storage.

Do I save if I book multiple seasons?

Yes. Customers who have us back every year save 10% on each renewal season.

How do I get a quote?

Send us a photo or your address and we’ll text back a design and price, usually within 24 hours. No visit needed.

Will this run up my electric bill?

It won’t move much. We use commercial-grade LED bulbs that draw a fraction of the power of old incandescent lights.

Do you use LED lights?

Yes. Every install uses commercial-grade LED C9 bulbs in warm white.

Booking & timing

Why book now instead of December?

Install dates fill up as the season goes on. Booking early locks in your date.

Is there a booking deadline?

Book by November 15 to be lit by Thanksgiving. Final bookings close December 1.

How do I lock in my install date?

Approve your quote and pay a $100 deposit, which comes off your final balance. Your date is held as soon as the deposit is in.

Can my lights be up by Thanksgiving?

Yes, if you book by November 15. Thanksgiving is November 26 this year.

I missed Thanksgiving. Is it too late?

No. We keep installing through December 12.

Will it be up before Christmas?

Yes, as long as you book by December 1.

Install day

How does it work?

Get a quote, pick your design, we install, we service it all season, then we take it down and store it.

What can you light?

Rooflines, peaks, wreaths and bushes. Wrapped tree trunks and lit walkways are available as add-ons.

Do I need to be home?

No. You don’t need to be home on install day.

How long does install take?

Most installs take a couple of hours.

Will it damage my gutters or roof?

No. We use plastic clips made for gutters and shingles and never use nails or staples.

Do I need outlets or timers?

You just need an outdoor outlet. We bring the cords and an outdoor timer, so your lights turn on and off by themselves.

What if I'm out of town?

That’s fine. You don’t need to be home for install or takedown.

Can I add more later?

Yes. Ask anytime and we’ll add it on an open date before December 12.

During the season

What if a bulb goes out?

Text us and we’ll fix it for free, usually within 48 hours. Service calls are included until takedown.

What about snow, wind and rain?

Bad weather can push an install to another day. If storms knock anything loose later, text us and we’ll fix it.

Takedown & storage

Do you take them down?

Yes. We take everything down after the holidays and store your lights for next season.

When do you take them down?

Takedown runs January 4 to 20. We take everything down and store it until next season.

About us

Are you insured?

Yes. Mr. Swiffy’s Holiday Lighting is fully insured in Connecticut, so your home and our crew are protected on every install.

Do you have reviews?

We’re new for 2026, so lighting reviews will start appearing after our first season. Mr. Swiffy’s comes from the team behind Clean N’ Go Power Washing.

Where do you install?

Trumbull, Fairfield (including Stratfield, Greenfield Hill and Southport), Westport, Easton, Weston, Stratford, Monroe, Shelton, Greenwich (including Old Greenwich), Darien, New Canaan, Wilton, Ridgefield, Redding, Brookfield and Sherman.
