Are you looking to hire a Christmas light decorator for your home? Hiring a professional Christmas lighting company is an investment that should be carefully considered. Not every company is equal, so in order to maximize the value you receive from your Christmas Lights, here are some tips to choosing the decorator that will fit your needs: .
Portfolio
A good decorator will have high quality images of their previous work. When thinking about if you want to work with a holiday lighting company or not, see if you can find a ready portfolio online. If you can’t find one online, request one from them.
Not only are portfolios a great way to see previous work from a company, but they are also good for identifying red flags. If a company won’t show you a portfolio, we advise not working with them. Companies without a portfolio are often inexperienced. Images that look heavily photoshopped are a red flag as well. A good portfolio will include some context about the images and work.
Some companies will specialize in certain styles of decor, some will have more general decorating practices. Examining portfolios will help you determine if a company will fit your style and offer the services you want.
Reviews
Reviews are an important part of any business. Some companies will have their reviews listed on their website, but it’s also important to search for reviews off their website. There are many places you can go to view reviews, such as yelp or google.
It would be wise to check multiple places, so you can get a full picture of how satisfied that company’s customers truly are. Be wary of any companies with a lot of negative reviews. Take note of whether or not they respond to their reviews (positive or negative). A company that responds to their reviews cares a lot about their customers.
Pricing
Pricing isn’t everything, however it is an important motivator for most people. It is important to note that a company must justify higher prices with higher quality. When comparing prices, take their portfolio and previous work examples into account to judge which company is charging prices equal to their value. If you receive a bid that is much cheaper than other companies ask the important questions:
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Do you provide storage options?
- Do your lights come with a warranty?
- What type of bulbs do you use?
- Do you offer unlimited re-services?
Warranties and Insurance
Accidents can happen. When picking a holiday lighting company to work with, it’s important to pick one that is licensed, insured, and offers a warranty on your lights.. You don’t want to invest your hard earned dollars into a house only to have an issue with the lights and not be covered.
A decorator that works for your friends or neighbors may not meet all your needs. That’s why, even though recommendations can be useful, it’s important to do your own research so you can pick the right company for your style and budget.
