Fast-growing towns attract seasonal operators. New Lenox has added a lot of houses in a short time, and every November brings companies working the area for the first time — some good, some who will not be reachable in February when the takedown was supposed to happen.
The most useful filter is longevity. Ask how long they have worked this area, and ask for addresses. Our guide to choosing a Christmas light company covers the full checklist.
New Lenox elevations are tall, which raises the stakes on insurance considerably. General liability and workers compensation certificates should be produced on request. If an uninsured installer falls from a three-story gable on your property, the exposure can reach your homeowners policy.
We carry full coverage on every crew and provide documentation without being pushed. It costs nothing to ask and it eliminates a lot of bidders quickly.
A useful question in a fast-growing town: how many crews do they run, and will yours be supervised? Rapid local growth pulls in operators who scale up quickly by adding untrained crews, and the quality gap between a company’s best crew and its newest one can be enormous. Our crews are employees who return each season, which keeps that gap narrow.
Ask directly whether a contractor owns or rents lift equipment. On the tall elevations common here, a company without a lift will either quote the job and then scale it back on install day, or attempt it from a ladder that should not be there.
We bring the equipment the elevation requires. That is also why our quotes hold — nothing gets renegotiated once the crew sees the house. See finished work in our gallery.
Newer subdivisions frequently have homeowners associations with rules about installation and removal dates, and occasionally about colour or animation. Those rules are easy to overlook when a development is only a few years old and enforcement has been light. We ask during the consultation and design within them, which avoids the awkward scenario of a display going up beautifully and coming down early under pressure.
Design, product, installation, in-season repairs, January takedown, and storage should sit in one fixed written number. Separate January takedown billing is the industry’s most common surprise.
