Christmas Light InstallationFrequently Asked Questions
How much does Christmas light installation cost?
Great question! Every home is unique, but here’s what most of our North Houston neighbors invest:
- 2,500 sq ft homes: $400-$1,500 depending on how decked out you want it
- 4,500 sq ft homes: $900-$3,500 for that show-stopping display
The range depends on your vision – want something elegant and simple? You’ll be on the lower end. Want to be the talk of the neighborhood? We can make that happen too! Remember, this includes everything – the lights (which we own and maintain), installation, season-long maintenance, takedown, storage, and that Forever Warranty. No hidden fees, no surprise charges for burned-out bulbs. The best part? We’ll come out for a FREE consultation and give you options that fit your budget. Call us at 832-371-6030 and we’ll hook you up with a custom quote!
When should I book my Christmas light installation?
The earlier the better! Our North Houston neighbors typically start booking in September and October. By early November, our schedule gets pretty packed. We recommend reaching out by October 1st to get your preferred installation date – especially if you want them up before Thanksgiving. But hey, if you’re reading this in November, still give us a call! We’ll do our best to squeeze you in. The early birds also get the best selection if you’re purchasing lights through us.
Do you provide the lights or can I use my own?
We exclusively use our own commercial-grade LED lights – and here’s why that’s actually great news for you! We retain ownership of all the lights and hardware, which means YOU never have to worry about storing them, maintaining them, replacing broken bulbs, or buying new ones when they wear out. It’s all part of our service! This is how we can offer that Forever Warranty – since we own the lights, we’re responsible for keeping them perfect year after year.
Got a special wreath, garland, or other decorations? No problem! If you have one of our lighting packages, we’re happy to install your personal decorative items too. We’ll even store them with your lights if you’d like! Just know that customer-provided items aren’t covered under our warranties – you assume the risk for any storage issues like rodent damage or theft, and we can’t guarantee replacement if something happens during installation or the season. But we’ll treat your items with care, just like we do with everything else!
If you ever decide to cancel service, you have the option to purchase the lights (as is) at a prorated rate based on their age, but most folks love not having boxes of tangled lights in their garage! Plus, if you move to a new home in North Houston, we move with you and move your service to your new home. No hauling lights to the new house, no reinstallation headaches – we handle it all!
What areas do you service?
We’re proud to light up all of North Houston! Our crew regularly serves Tomball, Spring, Cypress, Klein, Hockley, Jersey Village, Willowbrook, Champions, Copperfield, and Fairfield. Not sure if we reach you? Give us a call at 832-371-6030 – if we can’t help, we’ll find someone who can.
What's included in your Season-Long Maintenance?
We’re always ready when you need us! Our maintenance service combines proactive care with quick response times. We perform evening drive-bys twice in December to catch potential issues early, plus we’re just a phone call away whenever you notice something that needs attention. Whether it’s a bulb out, a strand not working, or wind damage – we’ll respond quickly to fix it. No extra maintenance fees, no service call charges – it’s all included in your installation price. You don’t have to climb ladders, troubleshoot electrical issues, or stress about repairs. Simply enjoy your beautiful lights and know that from installation through New Year’s, we’ve got you covered. That’s the J Calvin difference!
How long does installation take?
Installation time can vary greatly! Homes can take as little as 45min to upwards of 4-5 hours for installation, depending on the size and complexity of your design. Got a huge property or intricate roofline? Might take a bit longer. Simple ranch-style home? Could be quicker. We’ll give you a time estimate during your consultation so you can plan your day. Our crew works efficiently without cutting corners – we’re all about doing it right the first time. And don’t worry, we clean up after ourselves!
What happens if it rains or we have bad weather?
Texas weather, right? Don’t worry – our commercial-grade installations are built to handle whatever Mother Nature throws at us. Rain, wind, even those crazy December cold snaps – your lights will keep shining bright. If extreme weather does cause any issues, just give us a call and our Season-Long Maintenance means we’ll be out quickly to fix it at no extra charge. The lights we use are weather-resistant, and our installation methods are tested against North Houston’s unpredictable weather. If something does get knocked loose or damaged, we’re just a phone call away to make it right. Your home stays beautiful all season long!
When do you take the lights down?
We typically schedule takedowns starting the first week of January and running through the end of the month. We know some folks like to keep the magic going through New Year’s, while others are ready to pack it up right after Christmas. Just let us know your preference! After takedown, we handle all the storage at our facility – no more boxes of tangled lights taking up space in your garage. Everything’s labeled, organized, and ready to go when next season rolls around. It’s one less thing for you to worry about during the busy holiday season!
What's this Forever Warranty all about?
This is our pride and joy! Since we own and maintain all the lights and hardware, we guarantee them for as long as you are a customer. Bulb burns out? We replace it free. Clip breaks? New one’s on us. Storm damage? Covered. You literally never have to buy a single replacement bulb or worry about anything breaking. As long as you’re our customer, everything’s covered – no fine print, no “gotchas.” Moving to a new home? We’ll transfer your service there! Decided to cancel after a few years? You can purchase the lights with or without the lighting diagram at a fair prorated rate (as is) based off of the age of the lights. This ownership model lets us provide the highest quality control and ensure your home looks perfect year after year. The big companies can’t match this because they sell you lights and walk away. We’re in it for the long haul!
Do you do commercial properties too?
Absolutely! We love helping North Houston businesses get into the Christmas Spirit! Storefronts, office buildings, shopping centers, apartment complexes – we can do it all. Commercial jobs get the same attention to detail and Forever Warranty as our residential work. Plus, a festive business attracts more customers during the holiday season! Call us at 832-371-6030 to discuss your commercial property needs.
Can you do custom designs or themes?
You bet! While we’ve got plenty of classic designs that look amazing, we love getting creative with custom ideas. Want a winter wonderland theme? Texas-sized display? Something elegant or understated? Or maybe you want to be the brightest house on the block? We’re here for it! During your consultation, share your vision – even if it’s just a Pinterest board or a “I want it to look like that house over there” – and we’ll make it happen.
What makes J Calvin different from other installers?
Where do we start? We’re family-owned, not some big franchise. We actually live right here in Tomball and Spring TX – we’re your neighbors! Our Season-Long Maintenance means that needed fixes are just a quick call or email away. Our Forever Warranty is unmatched. We treat your home like our own. We show up when we say we will. We answer our phones. We care about making the Christmas Season Merry for you, your family, friends, and neighbors; we’re not here to just make a quick buck. Simply put, we’re in this for the long haul, not just the holiday haul!
What if I want to cancel service?
No worries – we get it! Things change, people move, priorities shift. If you decide not to renew for next season, just give us a shout. If you’ve grown attached to your lights and want to keep them, we can discuss purchasing them at a prorated rate. Usually when folks don’t renew, it’s because they’re moving outside North Houston (and we hate to see them go!). The nice thing is you’re never locked in – you decide each year if you want us back. Most of our customers love not dealing with storage, maintenance, and replacement costs, so they stick with us for years! Whatever you decide, just call us at 832-371-6030 or email [email protected]. We’ll take care of you either way!
Do I need to be home during installation?
Nope! As long as we can access the areas we need, you can go about your day. Lots of our customers leave in the morning and come home to a winter wonderland! We’ll discuss access details during your consultation. If you want to be there to see the magic happen, that’s great too – we love the excitement when folks see their completed display. Either way works for us!
What if I need something fixed during the season?
Just text or call us at 832-371-6030 or email us at [email protected] and we’ll take care of it! Whether you notice a bulb out or a strand not working, we’ll respond quickly to fix any issues. No service charges, no fees – it’s all part of what you already paid for. We typically fix issues within 24-48 hours, often the same day. Between your calls and our twice-December drive-bys to check on things, we make sure your display stays beautiful all season long.
Are you insured?
Absolutely! We carry full liability insurance to protect you and your property. We’re insured because protecting your home is non-negotiable. This is your home we’re talking about – you deserve a company that does things right. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance for your peace of mind. Don’t risk it with uninsured installers trying to make a quick buck during the holidays!
Can you work with my HOA requirements?
Of course! We work with HOAs all over North Houston and know many of their requirements already. Some have specific colors, heights, or styles they prefer – no problem! We’ll make sure your display is gorgeous AND compliant. If you’re not sure about your HOA rules, we can help you find out. We’ve got great relationships with many local HOAs because we always do quality work that enhances the neighborhood.
Can you hang my wreaths, garland, or other decorations?
Absolutely! While we exclusively provide the Christmas lights, we’re happy to install your special decorative items like wreaths, garland, or other holiday decorations as part of your lighting package. Got a gorgeous wreath for your front door? We’ll hang it! Beautiful garland for your columns? We’re on it! We’ll even store these items with our lights if you’d like.
Just keep in mind that customer-provided items don’t come with our Forever Warranty – if your wreath breaks or garland wears out, you’ll need to provide replacements. And while we store them carefully, customer items are stored at your own risk for any storage issues (like rodent damage or theft). But don’t worry – we treat your special items with the same care we give everything else. It’s all part of making your holidays hassle-free!
What if I move to a new home?
This is one of the best parts about our service! Since we own the lights, moving is super easy. Just let us know about your new North Houston home, and we’ll schedule a consultation there. We’ll create a fresh design perfect for your new property – no need to pack, transport, or figure out how old lights will work on a different roofline. Your service and Forever Warranty simply transfer with you. It’s like having a holiday decorator on retainer!
How do I get started?
Easy! Just give us a call at 832-371-6030 or visit jcalvintx.com to request your free consultation. We’ll schedule a time to come look at your property, discuss your vision, and provide a no-pressure quote with options. Most consultations take about 30 minutes. Once you decide to move forward, we’ll get you on the schedule and handle everything else. It’s really that simple – let’s make this your most magical holiday season yet!
