Always Done Your Own Holiday Lights? Here’s Why It Might Be Time to Let a Pro Take Over
April 21, 2025

If you’ve always been the one to untangle the lights, climb the ladder, and spend an entire Saturday decorating the house—you’re not alone. For many DFW homeowners, DIY holiday lighting is tradition.

But year after year, it gets a little harder to find the time, avoid the risks, or keep things looking sharp.

That’s why more and more people are making the switch—and letting professionals like On Point Holiday Lighting handle it all.

Here’s why it might be the right year to pass the baton (and still get all the credit for a gorgeous display).

1. You’ve Outgrown the Time Commitment

Between work, kids, errands, and holiday prep, you don’t have 5–6 hours to:

  • Pull boxes down from the attic
  • Test every strand
  • Replace bulbs
  • Haul ladders around your yard

With professional installation, you free up hours of your weekend—and still get the same festive glow you love.

2. You’re Ready for a Cleaner, Sharper Look

Let’s be honest: DIY displays can get a little… lopsided. Uneven spacing, drooping strands, or misaligned lights can distract from your hard work.

Our team delivers:

  • Symmetrical, clean rooflines
  • Balanced lighting zones
  • Perfectly fit lights, cut to your home’s dimensions

It’s the pro-level polish your home deserves.

3. You’re Tired of Climbing That Ladder

Every year, it gets a little taller—and a little scarier.

We’re trained, insured, and fully equipped to handle:

  • Second-story installs
  • Tricky peaks and rooflines
  • Tree wraps and high columns

You can stay safe on the ground while we take care of the heights.

4. You Want a Design Upgrade

You’ve been using the same lights for years. Maybe it’s time to change things up. We offer:

  • Custom color schemes
  • Warm white, cool white, or multi-color displays
  • Tree and bush wraps, walkway lighting, and more

Whether you want elegance, boldness, or something totally new—we’ll help you level up your look.

5. You Still Get to Be Involved (Just Without the Work)

We work with you to:

  • Choose your colors and layout
  • Decide where and how much to light
  • Match your aesthetic or neighborhood vibe

You’re still the creative force—we just execute it professionally and make it last all season.

6. Takedown and Storage = No More Mess

After New Year’s, the last thing you want is to drag frozen wires off your roof. We handle:

  • Complete, careful takedown
  • Optional off-site storage
  • Reinstallation next year with zero prep on your part

No more tangled strands or busted bulbs in bins you forget about until next November.

From DIY to Done-for-You

You’ve done the work. You’ve earned the rest. Let this be the year you enjoy the lights without the labor.

We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, and beyond move from DIY to On Point—and they never look back.
