I want to have my porch/doorway decorated, what do I need to do?

Start by scheduling your Holiday Porch Creations Assessment by submitting your info, OR send an email to PorchPumpkinCreations@gmail.com. Since every home is a little different, there is no one size fits all for Holiday decoration & designs. We start with an assessment where we will discuss your preferences for color(s) & design, as well as any vision you may have for your display. After viewing your porch (either remotely or after an onsite visit) we will go over our custom design with you and provide a proposal.

What holidays do you decorate?

Holiday Porch Creations is available all seasonal holidays (Christmas, Hannukah, Easter, Valentines Day, etc) excluding fall/Halloween. For the fall season, choose from our Porch Pumpkin Creations.

Why should I choose Holiday Porch Creations over someone else?

Because I love making things beautiful, and I will put the same time, effort, and care into your holiday decor as I do my own. Your joy brings me joy, and I want nothing more.

How much does it cost to have my porch professionally decorated?

The price will vary by difficulty and size. A typical home could cost in the range of $1200-$4500 depending on what they would like decorated, and the holiday. Due to the work involved creating custom holiday decorations, there is an $850 minimum required to complete a job. Our payment structure requires 50% deposit prior to any work being performed and the remaining balance paid after setup is completed.

Do you use live or fake garlands & wreaths?

We will create a custom design for your home using live or fake garlands, greenery, & wreaths, or a combination of live & fake based on your preference and seasonal availability.

Do you offer Packages for your Holiday services?

Unlike the Porch Pumpkin Creations, because each home is unique and we want to make your home look it’s best, there is no package that is right for your home. We can certainly provide options within your price range that maximize the amount of decorating that is within your budget and/or design a custom look for your home but in the end there is no set amount of lights or garland that will work on every home. Even wreaths will fit appropriately for certain home but be too large or too small for others.

Do I need to buy any lights, cords etc?

No, we will provide everything you will need to create the display from the lights to the timers that turn the lights on and off.

I have my own lights and cords; can you just use the ones I have?

Our goal is to provide the highest quality possible to our clients, and the only way we can ensure that is by using all of our own material.

Do your quotes include buying or renting the materials from you?

For the holiday decor, we are a rental based company. All of our quotes will include rental of materials, setup, takedown, and all the necessary materials to complete installation (cords, timers, etc). When we remove the display, we will take everything back with us, so you will be renting them for the season. The following season this means you can change colors or what you want decorated without having to worry about what you own.

Do you offer discounts?

For returning Holiday Porch Creations clients, if you order the same design as the previous holiday season, you will get an automatic 10% discount on your decor this season. Keep that discount in your pocket, or add on something extra to make things a little extra special.

Do you use LED or Incandescent lights?

We use only LED products on your home. But don’t worry, only lights that create that beautiful warm holiday affect will be used. We aren’t trying to shine bright like headlights.

Will I have enough outlets/power for the display?

During assessment we will investigate what outlets you have and if we feel there will be a power problem, we will design the display around what you have available.

When do you start setting up and taking them down?

We provide our customers a range of dates to select from for both setup and takedown. Example, for Christmas/winter, we begin setting up starting in early November and continue til mid December. We start taking down some lights days after the New Year until late February, depending on the customer’s preference and weather. A limited number of spaces are available.

There is snow on the ground/porch can you still set up my lights?

We are a weather dependent company, but will make every attempt to decorate your porch as we had originally quoted. If there are unsafe working conditions we will reschedule the appointment if the conditions change.

Are you insured?

Yes

What happens if there is a problem after you install the decorations?

I will do whatever I can to ensure your display is working for the entire holiday season. If something is not working properly simply call or email and we will dispatch a maintenance crew to your home within 72 hours at no additional charge (major area wide weather events may delay response and repairs). Repairs because of weather, animals, or acts of god may not be covered.

Do you use live or fake garlands & wreaths?

We will create a custom design for your home using live or fake garlands, greenery, & wreaths, or a combination of live & fake based on your preference and seasonal availability.
