Off Season Storage and Holiday Light Takedown, The Question That Separates One Company From Another|What Happens to Holiday Lights in January? Ask Before You Book|Christmas Light Takedown Explained

Everybody plans the install. Nobody plans the takedown

The whole discussion points at one day in November. That is understandable. Then it is January, and the lights are still on the house. The people who thought about that in October are the ones not on a ladder in the cold.And that is unfortunate, since the takedown is where a service is really tested. Anybody can hang lights in November. The question is whether anyone comes back. That question belongs in the first conversation, not the one you have in January.

The self service version

Taking lights down is worse than putting them up, and almost nobody expects that. The weather is worse. The motivation is gone. And at the end of it you are holding several tangled strands. Then the strands go into a bin, and the bin goes into the attic, and something in there stops working before you see it again.

The version worth paying for

On a properly structured holiday lighting service, January is already covered. When the season ends, the same company returns and takes it all down. The lights get labeled, packed and kept in storage until next year, so they come back out ready. You never store a single strand.

Why storage is not a small detail

Off site storage solves three problems at once. Space is reclaimed. The lights do not degrade in a hot attic, because they are stored properly rather than compressed under something heavy. And because they are catalogued to your property, reinstall is faster and lands the same way it did last year.

The permanent alternative removes the question

There is another answer worth naming. A permanent LED system is installed one time and left in place, so there is nothing to take down and nothing to store, ever. It is a bigger first step, and it is not right for everybody. But if the takedown conversation is the part you dread, it is worth asking about once.

What happens if something goes dark on the twentieth

A display runs for a month or more, and https://marcoljsv643.halcyonledger.com/posts/off-season-storage-and-holiday-light-takedown-what-happens-in-january-who-takes-down-your-christmas-lights-here-is-how-it-should-work-january-and-the-part-of-holiday-lighting-nobody-plans-for-what-to-expect things mounted outside in December occasionally stop working. The question is what happens then. Service during the season belongs on the quote, and the quote should say which. Ask before you book, not on the twenty second of December.

What next season looks like

Year one is the effort. After that, everything is on record. Booking the second year is a short conversation. Changes build on the existing plan, rather than starting over.
