That's a Wrap! How We Safely Store Your Display
January 25, 2025 | Maintenance
The beauty of a professional holiday lighting display is only half the story. The other half—the part that ensures your display looks perfect year after year—happens after the holidays are over. One of the most valuable components of our all-inclusive service is the professional takedown, inspection, and storage of your lights. Ever wonder what happens to your display after we take it down? Here's a look at our meticulous off-season process.
Our Post-Season Process
- Careful & Respectful Removal: Our crews return in January to carefully remove every light and wire. We use the same property-friendly techniques as our installation, ensuring your home is left exactly as we found it. Every custom-fit strand is labeled by location (e.g., "front gutter, left side") for a perfect re-installation next year.
- Full Inspection and Repairs: Before anything is put away, our technicians inspect every single bulb, strand, and timer. We look for any signs of wear, damage, or burnout. Any necessary repairs or replacements are made immediately, so your display is in perfect, ready-to-glow condition for the next season.
- Secure & Organized Packing: Forget tangled messes and mismatched boxes. We carefully bundle and pack your entire display into dedicated, durable storage containers. Each bin is clearly labeled with your name and a manifest of its contents.
- Climate-Controlled Storage: Your bins are transported to our secure, climate-controlled storage facility. This is a critical step. Storing lights in a damp basement, a hot attic, or a pest-prone garage can severely shorten their lifespan. Our facility protects your investment from moisture, extreme temperatures, and pests.
The Benefit of True All-Inclusive Service
By handling the entire lifecycle of your holiday display, we ensure the quality and longevity of our commercial-grade products. You get the peace of mind knowing your display will be brilliant next year, and you get to reclaim all that valuable storage space in your home. It’s the ultimate in stress-free holiday decorating.
