    Not just Christmas lights, they’re cleaning the gutters too, and taking the lights down after the holidays.

    Just over $1,000.

      Jesus. That is an insane amount of money for that unless you live in a 5000+ sf. house.

        Part of the penalty of not being able to do it myself. :( If we had a moss problem, they would treat that too, but the roof is only a year old. :)

          Did you get a few quotes? The gutter cleaners near me charge less than $300 and I have a two story house. It’s close to upper $100s if only one story. Shop around and save yourself the coin unless that’s not an issue for you.

          I imagine hanging lights shouldn’t be that expensive unless it’s the first time and they are installing light hooks to be reusable each year.

            Oh yeah, it wasn’t this bad when we started using them 2 years ago, but inflation is hitting everything.
