Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How much does professional Christmas light installation cost?
A: Every home and display is different, so we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. We’ll meet with you, talk through your ideas, and create a custom design based on your home, lighting choices, and budget. Your estimate is free, straightforward, and comes with no obligation.
Q: Do I own my Christmas lights?
A: Yes. Your first-year price includes the purchase of your custom-fit lights along with professional installation, which means you own your lights from day one. In the years that follow, you simply pay for our seasonal service, including installation, takedown, and storage.
Q: Am I signing a contract?
A: No. We don’t believe we should have to lock you in. We’d rather do quality work and earn your business again next Holiday season.
Q: What kind of lights do you use?
A: We use professional, commercial-grade LED Christmas lights that are custom-fit to your property. They’re bright, energy-efficient, durable, and designed to give your home or business a clean, festive look.
Q: What is included with your service?
A: We handle the whole process—from custom design and professional installation to season-long maintenance, takedown, drying, and storage. You enjoy the holidays. We’ll handle the hard work.
Q: What happens if a light goes out during the season?
A: Just give us a call. Season-long maintenance is included with our service. If something needs attention, we’ll come back and make it right so your display keeps shining.
Q: Are you insured?
A: Yes. Lights Up Montana is fully insured, so you can feel confident having our team working on your home or business.
Q: Will the lights hold up through a Montana winter?
A: That’s what we build them for. We use professional-grade lighting and installation methods designed for Montana’s cold, snow, wind, and changing winter weather. If Mother Nature causes an issue and something needs attention, just let us know.
Q: When should I schedule my Christmas light installation?
A: The earlier, the better. Our schedule fills up quickly as the holidays approach, especially in October and November. Booking early gives you the best selection of installation dates.
Q: When do you take the lights down?
A: Takedowns begin after the holiday season, typically in January. We’ll coordinate with you and work around winter weather to safely remove your display.
Q: What happens to my lights after takedown?
A: We take them down, dry and organize them, and safely store them until the following holiday season. When Christmas rolls around again, your lights are ready for us to install.
Q: Do I need to be home for installation or takedown?
A: Usually, no. Once we’ve finalized your design and have the access we need, our crew can handle the installation and takedown without disrupting your day.
Q: Do you install lights I already own?
A: We primarily install our own commercial-grade, custom-fit lighting so we can stand behind the quality, safety, and appearance of our work.
Q: Do you install Christmas lights for businesses?
A: Absolutely. We provide custom Christmas lighting for both homes and businesses. We’ll design your display around your property, visibility, and the look you want to achieve.
Q: Do you install Christmas lights on trees?
A: Absolutely. We offer professional tree lighting and can incorporate trees into your custom holiday display. Because every tree is different, we’ll look at the size, shape, location, and accessibility during your in-home assessment and discuss the lighting options that will work best for your property, style, and budget.
Q: What areas do you serve?
A: Lights Up Montana proudly serves Bozeman and surrounding communities. We currently install in Bozeman, Belgrade, Manhattan, Livingston, Ennis, and Big Sky. If your residence is outside of these areas, don't hesitate to call as we are always expanding.
Q: Why choose Lights Up Montana?
A: We believe in doing things the right way: hard work, quality craftsmanship, fair pricing, and service we’re proud to put our name on. We’ve been serving Montana homes and businesses since 2019, and we work hard to earn our customers’ business year after year.
