Common questions
Have a question about holiday light installation, commercial or municipal lighting, or owning a Christmas Decor franchise? Find quick answers below.
Residential Holiday Lighting
Most professional installations vary depending on home size, roofline, and design. Christmas Decor gives every homeowner a free consultation with an exact, no-obligation quote.
For most homeowners, yes. Professional installation means insured crews, commercial-grade LEDs, no ladder or injury risk, and season-long maintenance most DIY setups don’t include.
Yes. We safely remove every strand after the season, then catalog and store your custom lights in a climate-controlled warehouse until next year.
Most homes are completed in a few hours to a full day, depending on size and design complexity. Your decorator confirms timing during your free consultation.
Commercial-grade LED lights that use up to 90% less energy than old incandescent bulbs, custom-cut to size, and built for harsh seasonal weather.
Commercial Holiday Lighting
Most commercial properties book by late summer or early fall to secure design time and installation before Thanksgiving. Popular install appointments fill up quickly so contact Christmas Decor early to ensure you get the early installation slots.
Pricing depends on property size, height, and design, from storefront accents to multi-building displays. We provide a free consultation and custom quote for every property.
Malls, hotels, restaurants, car dealerships, retirement communities, and office parks all use commercial holiday lighting to boost seasonal visibility and foot traffic.
A professionally lit property signals you’re open, festive, and worth stopping at, helping many commercial clients stand out during the busiest shopping season.
Permit needs vary by city and property type. Your local decorator knows the regional code requirements and can advise during your design consultation.
Municipal Holiday Lighting
Seasonal displays for streets, parks, and public buildings, plus year-round architectural and landscape lighting and event lighting for parades and festivals.
Yes. We provide transparent, compliant proposals aligned with municipal RFP processes and are a registered TIPS vendor for public-sector procurement.
Yes. Every Christmas Decor crew is fully licensed, insured, and trained in municipal safety protocols before working on city or county property.
Yes. Municipal installations use LED lighting and smart systems designed to cut energy use and environmental impact across large public displays.
We offer full-service holiday light installation and coordinate timely removal once the season ends and store municipal lighting and decor safely until it’s needed again next year.
Franchising

Reported performance shows average gross sales of $418,903 and a 41% average gross margin per location. Results vary by territory; see our FDD Item 19 for full detail.
The core season runs roughly October through January, but many owners add permanent and event lighting to generate revenue the rest of the year.
