Question 1

Can I use my own Christmas lights?

Accepted Answer

For safety and quality reasons, we only install our leased commercial-grade LEDs. This allows us to guarantee your display, handle maintenance, and ensure a professional look all season long.

Question 2

Who owns the lights and equipment?

Accepted Answer

All lighting and materials are owned by Suncoast Christmas Lights and leased to you for the season. In your first year, we custom-fit materials to your home; in following years, you receive a returning-customer discount since we already have your setup on file.

Question 3

What does “fully custom” mean?

Accepted Answer

Every display is tailored to your home. We cut each strand to fit your exact rooflines and work with you on design choices for trees, wreaths, and accents—no two homes look the same.

Question 4

What does the price and scope include?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing is all-inclusive: design, professional installation, commercial-grade LEDs, season-long maintenance, and takedown after the holidays. No hidden fees or surprises.

Question 5

Why are commercial-grade lights better?

Accepted Answer

Commercial-grade LEDs shine brighter, last longer, and are safer than store-bought lights. Because they’re leased, you never have to worry about storage or replacements—we handle everything for you.

Question 6

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A 50% deposit secures your installation date and allows us to purchase and prepare your custom-fit lights. The remaining balance is due after installation is complete.

Question 7

Is Suncoast Christmas Lights insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We’re fully insured, so you can feel confident knowing every installation is safe, compliant, and covered.

Question 8

Can you do lights other than on the house?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We install custom lighting for trees, bushes, driveways, entryways, and other landscaping to create a cohesive, festive look throughout your property.

Question 9

What if a bulb goes out after installation?

Accepted Answer

No problem. With our full-season warranty, we’ll replace any bulb or strand that fails at no extra cost—just give us a call.

Question 10

Do I need to be home during installation?

Accepted Answer

It’s entirely up to you. We can complete your installation while you’re away as long as we have access to the property.

Question 11

Can I just hire a handyman?

Accepted Answer

Handymen might be cheaper, but they aren’t insured or trained for roof work. We use commercial-grade LEDs, cut-to-fit cords, and handle installation, takedown, and storage safely and professionally for a cleaner, longer-lasting display.

Question 12

How much does professional Christmas light installation cost in Tampa Bay?

Accepted Answer

Most homes range from $1,000–$3,000 depending on size and scope. All quotes include design, decorations, installation, takedown, and a full-season bulb warranty—no hidden fees or surprises.
