Let’s be honest—untangling lights, balancing on ladders, and battling the cold isn’t most people’s idea of holiday cheer. While DIY lighting might seem cheaper upfront, professional installation from LightsAround saves you time, stress, and even money in the long run. Here’s why going pro is the undisputed winner:
1. Your Time is Worth More Than You Think

Math Don’t Lie: If you value your time at $25/hour, DIY “savings” vanish fast.
