Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional Christmas light installation cost?

Our Christmas light installation pricing depends on the size of your home, roofline length, and type of design you choose. Most residential installs in the Memphis, Collierville, and Germantown area range from $500 to $1,500. Every quote includes installation, maintenance, and takedown — no hidden fees.

Do I need to provide my own lights or do you supply them?

We provide all commercial-grade LED Christmas lights, clips, cords, and timers. These are high-quality, professional products designed to withstand Mid-South weather. If you already own lights, we can evaluate them for compatibility and safety before installation.

Are you insured and licensed?

Yes! 901 Lighting Elves is a fully insured and professional Christmas light installation company. We take safety seriously — for our installers, your property, and your electrical systems. You can relax knowing you’re working with trained, covered professionals.

What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve the greater Memphis area, including Collierville, Germantown, Arlington, Lakeland, Cordova, Olive Branch, and Southaven. If you’re nearby but not sure if we cover your area, contact us — we’ll do our best to make it happen!

What’s included in your service?

Our holiday lighting service includes:

  • Custom design tailored to your home or business

  • Professional installation by our in-costume lighting elves

  • Maintenance throughout the season (we fix any issues fast!)

  • Takedown and storage after the holidays

We handle everything so you can enjoy a stress-free holiday season.

When should I book my installation?

We recommend booking early — ideally in October or early November. Our schedule fills up quickly once the season begins. Early sign-ups often qualify for pre-season discounts and preferred installation dates.

Can you install lights on trees, bushes, and landscaping?

Absolutely. In addition to roofline lighting, we install tree wraps, bush net lights, pathway lights, wreaths, and garland. We can highlight architectural details and landscape features for a cohesive, professional look.

Do you offer commercial or business installations?

Yes! We provide commercial Christmas light installation for storefronts, offices, restaurants, and community spaces throughout the Mid-South. We’ll help you attract customers with a beautiful, professional holiday display.

What happens if a bulb goes out or something stops working?

If a light burns out or a section goes dark, just call or text us. Our elves will return promptly for free maintenance. Your display stays bright and perfect all season long.

Do you take the lights down after the holidays?

Yes, takedown is always included in your package. We’ll safely remove all lights and decorations in January, carefully coil cords, and store them for next year if you’re part of our ownership or leasing program.

Can I purchase the lights instead of leasing them?

Yes! We offer both leasing and ownership options. Leasing is best if you want new designs each year without storage hassle. Ownership is great if you plan to use the same setup long-term and prefer to invest upfront.

Why should I choose 901 Lighting Elves over another company?

We’re the Mid-South’s only professional Christmas light installers who dress as elves — bringing holiday cheer, craftsmanship, and professionalism to every project. We’re local, insured, and trusted by homeowners across Memphis for safe, beautiful, and reliable holiday lighting.

Do you take special requests or custom designs?

Of course! We love creative ideas — from color-coordinated displays to timed lighting sequences. Share your vision, and we’ll make it sparkle. Our designers can help you match your home’s architecture, landscaping, or neighborhood theme.

How long does installation take?

Most residential projects take 2–4 hours depending on the size of the property and complexity of the design. Large commercial jobs may take longer, but we always complete them efficiently and on schedule.

What type of lights do you use?

We use commercial-grade LED C9 and C7 bulbs for rooflines and custom-cut strands for perfect fit and alignment. LEDs are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and bright, ensuring your display looks amazing night after night.
