Holiday lights bring joy to neighborhoods and add that magical glow to your home—but when it comes to installation, you may find yourself torn between doing it yourself or hiring a professional.
At On Point Holiday Lighting, we’ve helped countless DFW homeowners make the switch from DIY holiday lights to our full-service professional installation, and the difference is night and day.
Here’s what truly sets professional holiday lighting apart—and why it might be the smarter choice for your home this season.
DIY:
Installing your own lights takes time—often a full day or weekend. From testing old bulbs and replacing broken clips to untangling wires and climbing ladders, it’s more work than many homeowners realize.
Professional:
With On Point, we handle every step—design, materials, installation, and maintenance—so you can focus on enjoying the season. What takes hours (or days) on your own takes us just a few hours.
DIY:
Most store-bought lights are made for temporary, low-intensity use. They often burn out, tangle, or fail after one season—especially in outdoor weather.
Professional:
We use commercial-grade LED lights, custom-cut to fit your home’s layout. They’re brighter, more durable, energy-efficient, and built to last for years.
DIY:
Holiday decorating injuries are common, especially when climbing ladders or navigating slippery rooftops. One wrong step can ruin your season.
Professional:
Our trained team installs lights safely using proper equipment and best practices. No ladders, no slipping, no electrical guesswork—just peace of mind.
DIY:
While DIY lights can look festive, they often end up uneven, sparse, or mismatched due to limited strand lengths or unclear planning.
Professional:
We create a custom lighting design that flatters your home’s structure and maximizes visual impact. From rooflines to trees, we know where to place lights for balance, symmetry, and style.
DIY:
If a bulb goes out or a strand stops working, you're on your own to fix it—again, usually with a ladder.
Professional:
Our service includes season-long maintenance. If anything goes wrong, we fix it—quickly and at no extra cost.
DIY:
You’re responsible for taking everything down, storing it, and hoping it works again next year.
Professional:
We return after the season to safely remove your display. We also offer optional off-site storage, so your lights are professionally packed and ready for the next season.
DIY:
DIY lighting often leads to stress, mess, and frustration—especially when balancing it with everything else the holidays bring.
Professional:
With On Point Holiday Lighting, it’s effortless. Our clients describe it as the easiest part of their holiday season—from the first consultation to takedown.
Professional holiday lighting is more than a convenience—it’s a transformation. We help make your home look stunning, your schedule lighter, and your holiday experience brighter.
If you're ready to make the switch from DIY to a polished, professional lighting setup, reach out to On Point Holiday Lighting. We’ll handle every detail—so you can enjoy the holidays the way they were meant to be.
