Mike and Debbie of MC Holiday Lighting worked effortlessly in exceeding all my expectations. My family was over joyed and for that reason alone I would highly recommend MC Holiday Lightning for the season!

Words cannot express my Gratitude for MC Holiday Lighting. They were rapidly responsive and able to help have our home with beautiful lighting just in time for our daughters Holiday party!! The owner Mike was genuine, trustworthy, and a joy to work with. The decor staff were super pleasant and enjoyed doing their work. We look forward to having MC holiday Lighting at our home every year and also as a Family Friend. Thank You!!!

I do not recommend this service. More interested to market full package than hearing customers out. Not flexible and reactive. Your response is exactly what I am talking about. Why would you make your business of storage my material that I am paying for if I do not want to. These are poor business mindset and "strict" as you say yourself. You should adapt your offer to what I am asking you instead of want to sell me what I did not asked for...Big difference. Nowadays business can never be that strict if it is not to make a ridiculous point. I hope you be in business for long as you say. Merry Christmas to me anyway!

MC Holiday Lighting's reply

Just to clarify… In the past, customers have stored and damaged the lights. For example, we had a diner this season that stored 6 large wreaths and 5 large snowflakes. 3 wreaths were broken in half and 2 snowflakes wires were ripped off. It happens all the time. They now have to buy all that new material. Going forward, they have adjusted their mindset and realize it’s better for everyone if we store. Also, during the pre - installation process, we check and fix all our lights prior to install. This ensures that when we are on site everything is in working order or we can order the necessary material to replace. We used to be more accommodating, but through our decade and a half of business it has led to more issues than being helpful. The storage fee is less than 5% of the total cost and is common practice in the industry. We have been in business for over 15 years and if you look at all of our other reviews, we are pretty comfortable with the way we do business. There are multiple layers on why this is important to us and how we do business. We do not need to go back and forth on here, my name is Mike and if you want me to call you to have a healthy debate on the topic, I’d be more than happy to thoroughly explain further why we do this.

Mike and his team had the best prices on the market. The whole process was quick and easy. You purchase what you want and it is yours with a 3 year warranty. Gave me a promotion for new clients - 15% on the materials plus free storage for the first year. Also MC was the only holiday lighting company that gave me the future annual costs. The holiday lights look amazing. Highly recommend ! Joe A in commack

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  My pricing is based on the customers needs. The first year will be more expensive then subsequent years because the first year they are purchasing the material. All my material is fully warranted, and I stand by all my installation.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Listen to what the customer is looking for, after all they are the one who has to be happy and comfortable with the overall look of the decor. After I hear what the client is looking for, I would make a few suggestion and build a design with my catalog of options. Drawing from pictures of previous jobs to inspire the perfect display. Once we put a package together, we discuss budget and what are must haves and what maybe we can add the following year. It’s a constant communication to get the perfect display at a price that our clients are comfortable with.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I have over a decade of hands on experience, I have been to countless seminars and training classes all around the country. The past two years I have taught fellow entrepreneurs the industry and how to get started in the holiday decorating business.
