I would use these guys again. Super nice team and the made sure they got my lights the way I asked for them! They even hung two large 60 inch wreaths alongside doing our lights. Super great work at a great value
Austin, thank you so much for posting this review! I am delighted that we were able to install your Christmas lights and wreaths for you exactly as you imagined. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Sapien Lighting did an amazing job with our outdoor lights. The technician was incredibly nice and spent the entire day making sure everything was installed perfectly. We purchased Govee pro outdoor lights. The pricing was very reasonable, and the results look fantastic. Highly recommend Sapien Lighting!

I was trying to surprise my wife with Christmas lights being put up while she was out of town. It was going to be super short notice and I was sweating it. Rick with Sapien Lighting was very responsive and was able to do the installation the next day. He is professional and affordable. I couldnt be happier! Thank you Rick!
Sapien Lighting's reply
Sarah, thank you so much for your outstanding review of our Christmas lights installation service. I am so happy that everything was to your satisfaction and we were able to do the installation for you so fast since this is not always possible.
I hope the surprise goes fabulously and we wish you both all the best this holiday season!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Thumbtack shows holiday lighting at $100/hour because that's how this category displays prices. In practice, we give you a quote for your home before any work starts, so you know the total up front. Our minimum project is $500.
What changes the price: length of the roofline, one vs. two stories, extras like trees, bushes, wreaths or pathway lights, the lights you choose, and whether takedown is included.
Permanent and landscape lighting projects are quoted per project after a 15-minute design call.
We accept cash, Zelle, credit card, Venmo, Apple Pay, USDC, and check.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1. Message us with your address and ideally any photos of the job site, or book a 15-minute Lighting Design Consultation & Quote with Rick.
2. Rick reviews your home and what you want lit (roofline, peaks, trees, bushes, wreaths, pathways) and recommends a design.
3. You get a quote before any work starts.
4. We schedule your install date.
5. Install day: we install your lights and make sure everything works before we leave.
6. After the holidays, we take everything down (takedown can be included in your quote).
Permanent lighting projects follow the same steps, with a site visit when needed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
