Every year, it feels like the holidays arrive a little faster. Before you know it, Thanksgiving has passed, the neighbors’ roofs are glowing, and your lights are still packed away in the attic. While many homeowners wait until December to think about decorating, those who book their professional Christmas light installation early always end up happier (and less stressed).
At Baker Softwash, we’ve seen firsthand how early planning can make the difference between a smooth, magical setup and a last-minute scramble. Here are five good reasons why scheduling your light installation early is one of the smartest holiday decisions you can make.
1. Get Your Ideal Installation Date
As soon as the weather cools and holiday excitement begins, installation calendars fill up quickly. Most homeowners want their lights up before Thanksgiving or the first weekend of December. The earlier you reserve your spot, the better your chances of getting the exact date and time you prefer.
Booking early also gives our team more flexibility to work around your schedule and the unpredictable North Carolina weather. Rain or frost can cause delays, so early clients always get priority rescheduling if needed.
2. Avoid the Holiday Rush
When you wait until late November or December, every installer in town is booked solid. Supplies become limited, and response times slow down. By planning ahead, you’ll skip the rush, avoid supply shortages, and enjoy the peace of mind that your home will be beautifully lit before the busy season hits.
Our early-bird clients often say it feels great to drive home from Thanksgiving dinner and already see their house glowing. It’s one less thing to worry about when everything else — shopping, cooking, and wrapping — starts to pile up.
3. Customize Your Design Without the Hurry
Every home deserves a unique design. Whether you want clean, elegant white lights or a colorful, family-friendly display, early scheduling allows time to perfect your layout.
Our design team at Baker Softwash can create a plan that fits your roofline, landscaping, and personal style. When you book early, you have time to review mock-ups, adjust colors, and explore new options such as tree wraps or pathway lighting — without rushing decisions.
4. Enjoy a Longer Holiday Season
The earlier your lights go up, the longer you get to enjoy them! Instead of admiring your display for just two or three weeks, you can soak up the holiday spirit for the whole season.
Imagine coming home from work on chilly November evenings to see your house glowing warmly. Early installation helps extend the joy of the season and lets you make the most of your investment.
5. Eliminate Last-Minute Stress
Climbing ladders, checking bulbs, and fighting tangled cords in cold weather can turn the holidays into hard labor. By hiring professionals early, you’ll avoid the physical risk and mental stress that comes with last-minute decorating.
Our team handles everything — from planning and installation to maintenance and removal. If any light stops working, we fix it fast. When January arrives, we carefully take everything down and store it properly for next year.
