As the holiday season approaches, Window Genie of East Austin is ready to take the burden of holiday lighting off homeowners. The company, which specializes in window cleaning and tinting, gutter cleaning and pressure washing, also offers a professional holiday light installation service designed for beauty and safety.
“Customers call us, and we work together with the homeowner to design the lights," owner Fawn Roberts said. "We talk about color schemes, greenery and yard decorations. Whether the theme is nostalgic or whimsical, we make it happen.”
Window Genie's lighting program is built around a three-year service plan, offering a streamlined solution for homeowners. The program includes the installation of contractor-grade, custom-made lights, along with timers, plugs and more.
"The lights are commercial grade, super bright and beautiful,” Roberts said. “They’re custom-made to fit the house, ensuring a clean installation.”
In addition to installation, the company warranties its lights, promising to replace any failures within 48 hours. They also offer energy-efficient LED lights, which allow longer strings of lights to be used without overloading circuits.
Homeowners looking for convenience will appreciate the full-service approach. The service includes a discount program, where customers receive 10% off in the second year and an additional 10% off in the third year.
“We put up the lights, take them down, store them, and keep a detailed drawing of the installation so everything’s perfect year after year,” Roberts said.
For those concerned about the risks of holiday lights, Window Genie highlights the advantage of working with professionals.
“We’re trained to calculate voltage drops and ensure safety, something homeowners may not always consider,” Roberts said.
Safety during the installation process is also a priority for the Window Genie team. They emphasize the importance of avoiding the risks of DIY holiday light installations, particularly accidents related to ladders.
"Falling off a ladder is no joke,” Roberts said. “We’re ladder safety trained and certified, and we use stabilizers to ensure our work is safe."
Beyond homes, the holiday light service extends to commercial properties, with local cities and businesses taking advantage of Window Genie's expertise to create large, Instagram-worthy light displays.
“It’s a time of year when everyone wants to celebrate, and lights help bring people together,” Roberts said.
Window Genie is currently booking holiday light installations, with early-bird discounts available for those who schedule their lights to go up before Nov. 15. Starting at $499, the service provides homeowners with a hassle-free way to enjoy the holidays without the risk and time commitment of doing it themselves.
“We treat your home like it’s our own,” Roberts said. “We love helping homeowners create a welcoming and festive display for the holidays.”
