Some homeowners leaving holiday lighting to professionals

Holiday lights are fun to watch, but stringing them along roofs and trees can be a chore.

Some company's like Shine Holiday Lighting will do the sometimes tedious job — for a fee.

"We typically do 2 or 3 a day. We are booked through the middle of December," owner Chris Fisher told WZZM-TV.

As his window washing business slowed after the summer, Fisher decided to find something to do during the colder months. Now, he strings lights at homes across West Michigan.

Fisher's crew is putting up lights on an Ada Township home, about eight miles east of Grand Rapids, where the owner wants half to be LED.

"Then, at the end of the season, we'll come back take all the lights down, store it until next Christmas and pull them out and hang them up again," he said.

A small stringing job costs a minimum of $350. The price is $6,000 to $8,000 for an executive house and $15,000 for very large jobs.
