Your home deserves that magical, professional sparkle — without you hauling ladders, untangling lights, or worrying about fragile bulbs. At Glow Getter, we believe holiday lighting should be a joy, not a burden. Let me show you why choosing a professional for $8–$12 per linear foot is often the smarter, stress-free way to go.


The True Value Behind That $8–$12 Price Tag

When you see a quote of $8–$12 per linear foot, you might think it’s steep. But here’s what you’re actually getting:

  • Commercial-grade LED light systems built to last many seasons, not flimsy discount strands

  • Expert installation with safe mounting, concealed wiring, clean transitions, and precise layout

  • Takedown, storage, and maintenance — we return after the holidays to remove, pack, label, and protect your lights

  • On-season support — if a bulb goes out or a strand fails, we’ll service it (no climbing back up for you)

  • Liability, insurance, and safety protocols built in so you’re fully protected

  • Professional overhead accounted for — trucks, gear, travel, labor, permits, business costs

So that $10/ft quote isn’t just for “hanging lights.” It’s your all-in turnkey solution.


The Opportunity Cost You Don’t See: Why DIY Often Costs More

Hidden Cost How It Adds Up Why Pro Wins
Your time 15–25 hours of measuring, shopping, climbing, troubleshooting, takedown We do it in a fraction of the time; you reclaim your weekends
Risk & liability Ladders, icy roofs, electrical mistakes — injuries or damage can be expensive Our trained crews operate safely with full insurance
Quality & aesthetics DIY runs often sag, wires show, transitions look messy We deliver clean, seamless, even runs that light your home to wow
Maintenance & repairs You’ll chase outages, climb back up, test, replace bulbs midseason We stand behind our work and fix it as part of the service
Storage trauma Tangled wires, crushed boxes, forgotten bulbs — your next year’s cost increases We label, pack, and preserve your system for reuse
Stress & frustration The “little issues” — misplaced clips, burnt-out sections, mismatched bulbs — add up in hassle We eliminate the headaches — you just enjoy the glow

Even if your parts cost $600 DIY, your “real cost” in value, time, and frustration can balloon past what Glow Getter charges. And the result? A better-looking, safer, more dependable display you don’t have to micromanage.


Top Benefits You Can Promise — and Deliver

When your prospective customer reads your site, these are the ones you want them to feel:

1. Peace of Mind & Safety Down To Zero Risk

You don’t have to climb ladders. You don’t risk gutter damage or electrical mistakes. We carry insurance, follow safety protocols, and know how to light steep rooflines.

2. Polished, Cohesive Design

We treat your home like a canvas. Every line, every connection, every bulb is placed intentionally — highlighting architecture, avoiding overlaps, and hiding wires.

3. Season-Long Reliability

If a bulb dies, a strand fails, or wind blows things loose, we’re just a call away. That’s not a DIY advantage — it’s a glow advantage.

4. All-In Convenience

You get a single invoice. We handle everything: design, purchase, install, takedown, storage. You don’t have to buy ladders or climb roofs in cold weather.

5. Long-Term Value

Because we use premium materials and protect them in storage, your system lasts longer. Over 3–5 seasons, the cost per use drops significantly.


Sample Comparison 

House Example: 250 linear feet
Glow Getter Pro Quote @ $10/ft = $2,500
DIY Estimate:
• Premium LED materials & accessories: $400
• Ladder, gear, misc: $120
• Your time (20 hrs @ $25/hr): $500
• Mishaps, replacements, extra runs: $100
• Takedown & storage: $50
Total DIY “real” cost$1,170 + stress + risk

That “savings” of $1,330 is only real if you consider your time worthless — and accept lower aesthetics, risk, and future costs. Many customers look at that and decide: “I’d rather pay the premium once and skip all the hassle.”
