Looking for Someone Responsible & Reasonable to Put up Holiday Lighting

I never thought I would be asking this question, but between being mommy, wife, & working, there doesn't seem to be any time for my husband & I to put up our own Christmas lights on the outside of our house this year. We usually do something pretty basic, but festive. We're not the Griswald's or anything. Does anyone have a reliable person to recommend? I see signs advertising all the time in our neighborhood, but am not sure how to even approach someone with questions without them thinking I am a new-bee and can be taken advantage of. How much can I expect to spend? Do I have to purchase the lights or do they provide them? What about power strips/surge protectors? How booked do they normally get this time of year? How long does it take them? Also, my biggest fear is that someone new on the job will do what my husband & I did the first year we put up our lights (blow a fuse), so I am looking for someone who knows when to say when while plugging things in. Thanks so much!

What can I do next?

We've been using Sun Solutions for 5 years. They are reasonable and they do a good job. They also come to replace burned out light bulbs after they put them on at no extra charge-you just call them. His name is Joseph Williams and ph# is ###-###-####. They should start scheduling next week. Good luck and have a blessed Merry Christmas!

I had to laugh when you stated the Griswald's, because we always feel that way. We too are interested in someone putting lights up. If you are happy with anyone, please let me know! Have a great day!

We used sunflower landscape. They did our whole house (lined the roof line) with diferent levels to the roof on a 4200 square foot house and chrged us $500. Thats an awesome deal, because we had several quotes and they were crazy like $4000. That is ridiculous! Call iris at ###-###-####. She is awesome. Tell her J. dagnan- bargy sent you! She is based in dallas, but goes all over. We live in colleyville.
