HOLIDAY LIGHTING – IT ’ S A WRAP !
By : Dionne Petitpas
The holiday
season is wrapping up soon after a challenging year . HOAs spend thousands of dollars for a beautiful holiday lighting display , as its key to a festive season . Also key , is the display removal . If not done properly , you may not have an easy end to the weeks of lighting joy . Below are a few tips to help make sure your New Year starts off beautifully .
1 . Player Removal – Who is doing what ? And , when ? Usually the installer completes the removal of all items . However , your landscaper might offer . Be sure the who and when is clear before Christmas . After January 1st , most want their lights out – now !
2 . Lights and Wreaths and Deers , oh my ! – Storage of holiday lighting is important . Are items stored safely at the HOA ? Or with the installer ? If so , is the installer charging extra for storage ?
3 . LED Light Strings – If you splurged a little on LED light strings , taking them down may be more important than putting them up . Make sure it is done with care , so strings are not severed , and bulbs are not busted .
