Once the season ends, we remove every strand and clip from your roofline, windows, and landscaping, coil and label everything by section, and can store it for you until next year — so you're never the one back on a ladder in January.
We remove every strand, clip, and wreath from your roofline, windows, doorway, and landscaping, checking each section for leftover clips or hardware so nothing is left behind to damage trim or gutters over the year.
Every strand gets coiled and labeled by section before it's boxed, so if you use our storage service, next year's installation starts from an organized, tested set instead of a tangled bin pulled out of the attic.
Lights left up too long fade faster in direct sun and UV exposure, and clips that started snug in November can loosen over months of wind and rain, sometimes catching on gutters or shingles as they shift. Charleston's spring pollen and storm season also make an already-loose display more likely to come down on its own instead of being removed cleanly.
Scheduling takedown in January, rather than letting a display linger into spring, keeps both your lights and your roofline in better shape for next season.
Most takedown jobs run $150 to $400, and pricing depends on:
Takedown only makes sense if you'd rather keep your own lights at home, or you're not sure yet whether you'll book installation again next year. We remove and neatly box everything for you to store yourself.
Takedown with storage is the better fit if you want next season to start simple — your lights come back already tested, coiled, and labeled by section, and installation next year moves faster since we already know your layout.
Yes. Takedown is available as a standalone service even if we didn't install your lights originally. We'll remove everything the same way we would our own installation, with no damage to your roof, gutters, or siding.
Most homeowners schedule takedown in early-to-mid January, after the holidays but before lights start visibly fading in the sun. We book takedown appointments through late January, but earlier is easier to schedule than mid-month.
We coil each strand, label it by section (roofline, windows, trees, etc.), and store it in labeled bins until next season. When you book installation again next year, we already know exactly what you have and where it goes.
Yes, takedown and storage are priced separately. Some homeowners prefer to keep their own lights at home; we're happy to just remove and neatly box everything for you to store yourself.
