Hamid and Majid visited our property, was very knowledgable on the subject, and enlightened me about the option to check out the permanent/year long lights instead. I did my research, and he was so right. I bought few packs of Enbrighten lights on sale from Costco, and Hamid and Majid helped put those up around my property within just a few hours before Christmas. I am very happy with the investment. The lights are beautiful, and after the holidays they light up my property just like ambient security lights would. The cost of putting those up and taking those down breaks even easily by year 4, with an opportunity to wow your neighbors and guests throughout the year!

UPDATED REVIEW: They…read moredid a good job on install and the lights look good when they actually work. Unfortunately, they never work. Spent $2000 on Christmas lights and we haven't gone 2 consecutive days without the lights shutting off and having to be reset. When you reach out to the owner, he guides you how to reset the outlet, but does nothing to actually fix the issue from happening again and then just stops responding. Like I said, lights are great when they work but it's just really shoddy work. When you're spending thousands of dollars on lights the last thing you expect is for them to not work. Every. Single. Day. And when you reach out for help, I expected them to actually come out and fix the issue rather than just say hey, reset the outlet and try again. Acting like it's a Nintendo 64 you can just unplug, blow on it and plug it back in. If you're looking for high quality work and lights, save your money and energy and go somewhere else as I will be doing the same from here on out.

Hopefully, I can attach the video I took at Sunset last night.. if not, I'll add still photos.. Very minor punchlist to adjust a couple brackets holding the string lights and they came out immediately to do that while never once pressuring for payment till I was a 100% satisfied.

We hired Xmas Crew for a holiday light install and it was a mess from start to finish…read more What was promised in the quote and emails was not what was delivered: -Spacing was much wider than specified -Install was crooked and sloppy -The sign was smaller and uneven -The lights weren't even powered on when they left -- we had to hire our own electrician to finish the job When we raised concerns (politely, with photos), instead of fixing anything, they immediately demanded full payment and threatened early removal of the lights, even though their own invoice showed a January due date. They referenced an "agreement" that was never provided, couldn't produce it when asked, and then stopped responding entirely and blocked communication. The lights were eventually removed weeks later with no notice. If you're considering this company, be aware: once there's an issue, they stop communicating and switch to pressure tactics instead of service. Would not recommend.
