F&Q | About This F&Q Page
Do you have a checklist of what to ask during a quote?
We do, and it’s one of the best ways to compare installers fairly. Use our installer comparison guide and bring those questions to every estimate you get.
Can you help me choose scenes that won’t look “too much” in my neighborhood?
Yes—most customers want something tasteful first, then fun options for holidays. We’ll help you build a scene library that starts subtle and scales up when you want it.
Do you install and service both homes and businesses?
Yes—we work with residential and commercial properties across Erie and Niagara County. The zone plan and scheduling are simply tailored to how the property is used.
What’s the next step if I still have questions?
Reach out with a few photos and tell us what you’re trying to accomplish (front only vs. wrap-around, holidays, security visibility, etc.). We’ll point you to the right guide and schedule a consultation if you want a quote.
