Who  Are  the  Christmas  Lighting   ELves?

Are you too busy, or unable, to hang festive lights yourself?

Don't know whom to call? Need it done for a great price?

Are you worried about while safety climbing ladders and working around rooflines in the cold, wet and often snowy and icy fall and winter months? 

 

Well, we have great news!  Starting "WAYYYYYYY BACK" with the 2014 Christmas and Holiday Season (before it became trendy!) HAMILTON HOUSE PAINTERS and RENO TEAM (www.hamiltonhousepainters.ca)  pioneered and implemented a new seasonal lighting installation and removal service. That's right, we started offering the service long before other companies emulated our service offering and entered the market. The service has grown and developed every year since then, and has been such a huge success that we decided to make it a permanent seasonal service: 


THE "CHRISTMAS LIGHTING ELVES" WERE BORN!

The original, the best. 


We will be glad to help you with any seasonal lighting needs you may have; we invite you to give us a try.

To those who have used our services over the years since we started, THANK YOU! We really appreciate the business.

DO  I   PROVIDE  My  OWN   LIGHTS,  
OR  WILL  THE   ELVES  PROVIDE  THEM   FOR   ME? 
WHAT  KINDS  OF  LIGHTS  SHOULD  I  USE?

Be safe; our elves have the experience, training, and equipment to install your Christmas lights. Stay warm inside, with a nice hot cup of cocoa, while we install the lights for you. 


LOW COST INSTALLATIONS, CONVENIENCE, and SAFETY; "one call does it all."


We proudly sell and install the very best, highest quality, commercial grade LED lights that we can source. Our lights typically last longer than typically low quality "retail grade lights and strings," and require less maintenance in the long run. Sure, they are a little more expensive to buy, but any "best quality" product always costs "a wee bit more!" 

Over multiple seasons, we are certain you will find that the cost of ownership is less overall when you factor in the replacement costs for retail grade bulbs and failed light strings. 


Some of our commercial quality light strings have now been in service for over 10 years and counting! 


In addition to lasting longer, our lights tend to be brighter and are "faceted" (like a diamond) to add to their brilliance. 


The casings over the LED (the "bulb") are made from solid, high quality plastic, and are moulded in one solid colour throughout. The strings themselves normally contain higher gauge wiring, than retail / consumer grade lights, and a thicker UV resistant outer shielding on the wires. Even better, the high quality light sockets allow for the lights to be securely and easily individually screwed in and replaced individudally, without the silly "retail lighting socket issues" with which we have all had to struggle.  


For the larger light sizes, this allows us to "customize" the colour selections and colour rotations on the strings easily; what colour combination do you want? We can do it!


Just make sure to tell us in advance what you would like, so we can make sure we have the colours you want in stock for your installation. We do carry a limited supply of different colours and sizes in stock; Please ask us. We typically carry at least 12 colours of C9 LEDs (large strawberry lights), and C7 LEDs (medium strawberry lights) in stock:


Red and Green... no problem. Blue and cool white... no problem. Yellow, blue, red and green... no problem. Warm white only... no problem. All of the above, plus orange and fuscia... no problem! just ask. See our available light sizes, styles, and, available colours on the PRODUCTS carousel, or, on the estimate request form. 


We can also provide G30 LED (large globe), G20 LED (medium globe), and 5MM LED (Christmas tree sized / twinkle lights), and LED EDISON / FESTIVAL lights (large filament bulbs), and more. Ask us.  

 

For your information, all of our Globe, C7, C9, and our large LED "Festival / Edison" lights allow for the easy change out of any burned our broken bulb. Simply unscrew it, and, put in a new one! If any one bulb or multiple bulbs are burned out, you don't have to spend hours trying to figure out which wire, socket, light, or connector is causing the issue; any issue with a single bulb will only affect that one bulb. The whole string does not stop working! 


Of course, over time and exposure to the elements and wind, etc... even our extremely durable commercial strings and bulbs can get damaged or fail. But, if the string itself becomes broken beyond repair, just unscrew and save the existing bulbs, call us, and, we will sell you just the lighting string with light sockets and connectors to save you money. The largest item cost for the LED light strings is the bulbs.  Many of the lower quality retail / consumer grade lights do not allow for this, by virtue of how they are put together.  


Best of all, for the larger light sizes (Globe, C7 and C9, and Festival / Edison LED's) when we are installing them, we custom cut / design your light strings to the correct length needed on your home or business, so you don't end up with dangling ends, or, the need to "double them back" over themselves to hide the excess length. Doesn't that look simply AWFUL? With fixed length retail lights, your strings may not be long enough, and leave areas which you want lit up without coverage because the string was a bit short! 


We are doing "Elf-designed custom installations" folks!!


WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE MY OWN LIGHTS?


That is fine! No problem. We know that everything is expensive nowadays, including lights. Our elves understand. 

If you need to save a bit of money for presents, and to buy our elves some cookies and milk when we visit, there is no problem! We support B.Y.O.L. (bring your own lights!) Our elves are happy to install your lights for you. 


If we are installing lights you provide, please just make sure they are all "checked over" thoroughly and are "ready to go" when we arrive. If there are bulbs out, or, whole strings, or portions of strings out, please take care of it before we arrive for the installation. We don't carry an inventory of spare lights or spare parts for the retail / consumer grade lighting products; there are simply too many of different kinds for us to do that... and they fail a lot. 


But, if you have the "spare" lights, we will gladly put them in for you (up to 10 lights), or, try to diagnose the issue with the light strings on a "best effort only basis," (up to 15 minutes of work). If you need help beyond this, just ask; an additional fee will apply for the "elf labour time." They are quite strict about that! Also, just to note, we cannot warranty the labour or installation services on any lights which we do not supply. If they burn out 15 minutes after we leave, we will be delighted to come back and try to take care of the problem for you, however, an additional call-out charge will apply. 


IF I PURCHASE YOUR "ELF APPROVED" COMMERCIAL LED LIGHTS, DO I NEED TO BUY THEM AGAIN NEXT YEAR?


No. Any lights we provide to you are yours to keep. Some competitive (non-elf) services want to lease or rent the lights to you each season; our elves would NEVER allow that kind of "Scroogy" behaviour. The cost of renting lights is typically lights each year is at least half the cost of buying them. We think this is a bit "dodgy." Santa would not approve. 


Again, to be clear, the lights we provide / sell to you are yours to keep


When we come back to take them down for you, we will box them up, nice and neatly, so they will be ready for our elves to put back up for you the following year. For lights we have sold you, WE will check the lights the next time we put them up, and we will replace any burned out bulbs as we go (a small charge for the bulbs will apply - but very few of these bulbs typically fail). 


You can either store the lights yourself until next year, or if you choose, we will take them with us, and store them in our safe heated warehouse until next season; the elves will bring the lights with them for your next installation. 

NOTE: a small charge does apply for this service. Our elves want YOU TO HAVE THE CHOICE. We don't think charging you again and again for the lights, or, FORCING you to pay for storage is "the spirit of the North Pole."  


READY TO GET STARTED? Just click on our ESTIMATE REQUEST FORM, and, submit your request. In many cases, you will be able to get your estimate, right online! But if not, one of our "Customer Care Elves" will get back to you same day, or, next business day to get things rolling. The elves are very diligent about customer service. 


OUR "CUSTOMER CARE ELVES" REALLY HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

They love talking to people, and, we try to keep them happy; if they get cranky, it costs us a FORTUNE in milk and gingerbread cookies! 

How   does  the  process  work?

The process of the Christmas Lighting Elves is very easy and inexpensive, and is done in 3 easy steps as seen below... just click on the STEP bars to expand and show the details: 

Simply email us. One of our "customer care elves" will get back to you as soon as possible. Or... 


Use our ESTIMATE REQUEST FORM on this site to provide us with more details, and maybe a photo of your property to assist is with getting your service arranged. Or, 

 

If you are uncomfortable with using our online resources, simply give us a call at:

289-815-0945 

We will take care of your needs with a "live elf" who is a member of our customer care team.

 

We are generally providing installation dates each year between September 15th, and around December 15th – subject to weather, and volume. First come, first served.


In December, following the lighting installations, we will ask you to select a date range in January for the removal of the lights (all appointments subject to weather conditions, and availability, of course. First come, first served).  

 

If you have your lighting strings, etc... already, just provide the strings to us when our elves arrive on site; PLEASE TEST YOUR LIGHTS IN ADVANCE OF OUR VISIT to ensure they are all working, BEFORE we hang the lights. Light strings that don't work make our elves very sad. 


As noted above, with the high quality commercial-grade high lights we have sold to you, if a few lights are out on your light strings, we will replace them (you just pay for the new bulbs). However, for "retail quality" lights you have provided yourself, it can be very difficult to track down why an individual bulb or string or section of a string is out. So, we ask you to check your own strings thoroughly, before we arrive. 


Again, you are very WELCOME to provide all of your own light strings, bulbs and materials - if we need to purchase or provide any lights or other materials, such as mounting clips or replacement lights, we will just charge you for the materials used. We normally carry a supply of mounting clips and other accessories on our trucks.


When we provide the lights on the initial installation, all of the accessories and needed materials are provided with the lights. 


NOTE: We do not provide timers or multi-outlet exterior-grade power bars unless ordered in advance. NOTE: When you purchase lights from us, we will provide up to 30 linear feet of custom-fitted extension cords, at no additional cost. 

We install the lights in plenty of time for Christmas! (or Diwali, or Eid, or any other holiday which you observe). Our elves are very accepting! We will ask for your preferred installation date range, and go from there. We will tentatively set the appointment, and send out a calendar confirmation. Once you pay the retainer (deposit) for the service, we will "confirm" the appointment. 

Sometime around the middle of December, after we have finished installing everyone's lights, we will ask to for your preferred "take-down" week in January. We do our best to accommodate everyone.  


After Christmas and/or Holiday Season, we will return to take down the lights for you… normally starting just after New Years Day, typically between around January 3rd, and the third week of January. We try very hard to have all of the lights down by the third week in January, weather permitting. 

Spring take-down of the lights is possible in some cases; please ask.

 

After we take the lights down, we will carefully package up your lights, so can store them away neatly. 

Before this, we will ask if you would like us to store your lights for you over the summer months, until you are ready to use them again next year; a small charge applies. 

Storage is an optional services. If you would like to use this service, after we package up the lights, we will transport them to our warehouse, and we will bring them back with us when we return next year to install your lights again; how easy is that?!
