Christmas Light Removal & Storage | Maryville, TN

Takedown windows are set at the time you book your install, so removal isn't something you have to remember to call about in January. Crews work through the first week of January into February depending on the schedule and weather, prioritizing homes and businesses in the order displays were installed where practical.

Ice and wet conditions, common on ridge lots and shaded roof sections through a Blount County winter, can push a specific date, but we build buffer into the schedule so a delay of a few days doesn't turn into weeks.

We remove every clip and piece of hardware along with the strands themselves, so nothing is left on the roofline or gutter through spring and summer.

Every strand gets inspected for burned-out sections, damaged wire insulation and failed connectors during takedown, not left in a bin to discover broken next November. Failures get repaired or the strand gets replaced before it ever goes into storage.

This is the step most homeowner-stored displays skip, which is why a five-year-old big-box light set often has multiple dead sections by the time it's pulled out again. Because we control storage, your custom-cut display shows up next season already tested and ready.

Strands are labeled by address and by roofline section, so reinstallation next season isn't a guessing game about which piece went where.

This inspect-then-store approach is also why repeat customers rarely see a full section fail mid-season, most wear gets caught and corrected in January while the display is already down, rather than discovered the hard way in December.

If you or a previous vendor installed your lights and you'd rather not get back on the roof in January, we offer takedown-only service regardless of who installed the display originally.

We remove the lights, coil and box them for you to store yourself, or offer paid off-season storage as a standalone service if you'd like us to hold onto them and reinstall next fall.

This service is priced separately from a full lease and doesn't include the design or maintenance work that comes with a full seasonal package.

Every strand is coiled on a labeled reel or spool rather than balled into a bin, which is the single biggest reason leased lights outlast homeowner-stored consumer strands year after year. Tangled storage is where most bulb and wire damage happens between seasons.

Storage bins are kept in a climate-controlled facility rather than a garage or attic, where summer heat and humidity swings degrade wire insulation and bulb housings faster than most people realize.

Hardware, clips, timers, connectors, is bagged and labeled separately from strands, by address and by roofline section, so reinstallation next fall doesn't involve guessing which clip type matches which mounting surface.

Removing clips incorrectly, yanking rather than releasing, is a common way homeowner takedowns damage shingles, gutters and fascia. Our crews remove hardware the same careful way it was installed, checking for any loosened gutter brackets or fascia issues along the way.

We inspect roofline condition during takedown and flag anything that needs attention before next season's install, a loose gutter section or a soft fascia board, so problems get caught in January rather than discovered when a crew is trying to hang lights in November.

Ice and snow on a roofline in early January, common across Blount County, are grounds for us to reschedule a takedown date rather than send a crew onto a slick roof, the same safety standard we apply to install day.

Takedown-only pricing depends on the same factors as install, linear footage, story count and access, since removing a display takes real labor even without a design or measurement step involved.

Standalone storage service, for homeowners who remove their own lights but don't want them cluttering a garage, is priced separately and includes the same climate-controlled, labeled storage we provide lease customers.

Bundling takedown and storage together typically costs less than paying for each separately, since a single visit handles both the removal and the drop-off at our facility.

Homeowners who installed a display themselves sometimes underestimate how long professional-grade takedown actually takes on a two-story home with wrapped trees or extensive window trim, which is why we quote takedown-only jobs based on the same roofline and feature count used for a full install rather than a flat fee.

For anyone unsure whether to go with takedown-only now and a full design lease next year, we're glad to talk through both options during the same visit, there's no obligation to commit to a multi-year plan just to get your lights down safely this January.

We also see interest in combining takedown-only service with a future design consultation, so a homeowner switching from a self-installed display to a professionally leased one can use this January's takedown as the starting point for next season's measurements.
