The Costliest Christmas Ever
It started as a dream. A luxury brownstone on the Upper East Side wanted the most dazzling Christmas display on the block—towering garlands, cascading lights, and a twinkling rooftop tree. They hired a team, gave them a blank check, and waited for the magic.
Then, disaster struck.
The lights were installed carelessly, overloading circuits and creating a fire hazard. Cheap clips failed, sending strings of lights crashing onto expensive landscaping. Worse, the installer’s ladder scraped the custom-painted façade, leaving behind $10,000 in damage.
By the time repairs were done, the homeowner was out $50,000—all because they didn’t hire the right experts.
Why Christmas Lighting Needs Professionals
Holiday lighting isn’t just about making things sparkle. Done wrong, it can be dangerous, destructive, and wildly expensive. That’s why NYC Christmas approaches every project with precision, safety, and luxury in mind.
1. No Electrical Nightmares
Overloaded circuits can lead to power outages or, worse, fires. NYC Christmas ensures every installation is up to code, using commercial-grade lights that won’t trip your breakers—or your holiday spirit.
2. Damage-Free Installation
Your home’s exterior is an investment. The wrong clips, nails, or adhesives can cause permanent damage. NYC Christmas uses non-invasive, professional-grade fasteners that hold up through New York’s harshest winter storms without harming your home.
3. Flawless Aesthetics, No Hassle
That Rockefeller Center-level glow doesn’t happen by accident. The difference between “festive” and “tacky” comes down to spacing, symmetry, and expert design. NYC Christmas creates breathtaking displays that feel curated—not chaotic.
The Right Way to Do Christmas Lights
The homeowner who lost $50,000 on their holiday disaster? They learned their lesson. The next year, they hired NYC Christmas. Their new display was flawless, safe, and stress-free—just as James, the owner, promised.
When it comes to holiday lighting, the choice is simple: hire experts or risk an expensive Christmas catastrophe.
