Your Holiday lighting questions answered
-
Do you provide the lights and materials?
Yes. We design, supply, install, maintain, remove, and store everything. We use professional‑grade LED C9s custom‑cut to your home, along with clips, cords, and timers for a clean, safe installation.
-
What’s included with installation?
Everything from design to storage:
✨ Design consultation & roofline mapping
✨ Pro‑grade LEDs custom‑fit to your home
✨ Safe installation by insured crews
✨ Timer setup & season‑long maintenance
✨ Early January takedown & climate‑controlled storage -
How fast can you install?
Typically 3–5 days from deposit. Thanksgiving week fills quickly, so we recommend booking early to secure your preferred window.
-
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, once design is approved, a 50% deposit reserves your calendar spot. The remaining balance is due at completion of the installation.
-
What areas do you serve?
We install custom holiday lights across the Upstate, from Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Travelers Rest, Easley, and Powdersville to Anderson, Clemson, Seneca, and Lake Keowee communities. We also serve nearby areas including Mauldin, Taylors, Five Forks, Fountain Inn, Piedmont, Liberty, Central, Pendleton, and Berea. Send us your address and we'll confirm availability.
-
Are you insured?
Yes—fully insured. Our professional crews are trained for ladder safety, GFCI use, and managing electrical load limits.
-
What if a bulb goes out or something looks off?
Season‑long maintenance is included. Text us a photo and we’ll schedule a quick fix (24-48 hours) —no extra charge.
-
How long does installation take?
Most standard installs take 1–3 hours, depending on roofline length, stories, and add‑ons like trees, garland, or stakes. Our goal is to be as fast and safe as possible. Take downs are normally an hour depending on the same parameters.
-
Can I choose colors or custom patterns?
Absolutely. We offer three packages & custom add ons like ground stakes, tree wraps and more.
✨ Timeless Magic (soft white)
✨ Merry & Bright (multi‑color)
✨ Christmas Vacation (custom light patterns)
We’ll help you match the look to your home and neighborhood guidelines for a seamless final result. -
How do I request an estimate and book installation?
Use the Get My Estimate button to share your address and contact details. You can add photos now or after submitting. Once we have enough details, we'll prepare your custom design and quote. After you approve it and place a deposit, we'll confirm your installation date.
-
Do you charge extra for Thanksgiving week?
We don’t add a special premium for Thanksgiving week, but it books up fast. Prices may increase for late‑season bookings after Thanksgiving due to compressed schedules and limited crew availability.
-
Can I add wreaths, garland, tree wraps, and ground stakes?
Yes—those are available as add‑ons for any package. We pride ourselves on nailing the look you’re going for so we will work together to find the right accents for your home and style.

How do I hang Christmas lights on my house safely?
Measure your roofline and plan each light run first. Choose lights and extension cords rated for outdoor use, inspect them for damage, and follow the manufacturer's limit for connected strands. Plug outdoor lights into a GFCI-protected outlet. Use light clips rather than nails or staples that could damage wiring, and keep cords clear of standing water. Set your ladder on firm, level ground and stay clear of power lines. If your roofline is high or difficult to reach, consider a professional installer. Griswold's Lights custom-fits lights for Greenville-area homes and handles installation, in-season service, takedown, and storage.
