With Silver Bells as your partner, your community can embrace the holiday spirit with confidence, knowing that every detail is meticulously handled to create brilliance, camaraderie, and enchantment.
At Silver Bells, we recognize the profound importance of holiday lighting in reflecting and enhancing the unique essence of each community. We also know that it’s quite common in the Treasure Valley for those tasked with engaging services for holiday lighting to encounter a great deal of hassle, underwhelming service or results, and unkept promises. Not to mention, waste is
common when changes are needed or desired.
Our all-inclusive program is designed to evolve alongside your community, offering flexibility in design and color choices while ensuring predictability in pricing and alleviating logistical burdens. With our expertise and dedication, we strive to elevate your community’s holiday experience, fostering unity, pride, and a welcoming atmosphere for all.
Design Brilliance Tailored to Community Essence
At Silver Bells, we understand that every community has its distinct character, and your holiday lighting should reflect that essence. Our all-inclusive program embraces the spirit of evolution, allowing design or color changes from year to year. This accommodation caters to shifting budgets, evolving preferences, and the diversity or turnover of decision-makers. Say farewell to being locked into outdated designs or investing in new lights annually. With Silver Bells, your vision remains fresh, vibrant, and aligned with your community’s unique spirit.
Predictable Pricing, No Unpleasant Surprises
Successful community projects hinge on effective budgeting. Our all-inclusive holiday lighting program ensures that your budget stays steady. Unlike traditional setups that often lead to unexpected expenses for burnout replacements or abrupt maintenance appointments, our program offers transparent and predictable pricing. No sudden shocks, no unforeseen costs, and no need to compromise the splendor of your display. Whether you’re an HOA managing funds or a municipality planning for community enjoyment, our commitment to clear pricing ensures you remain well within your financial scope.
Convenient Storage-Free Solution for HOAs
Storage space is a valuable resource, and community facilities or board members’ homes shouldn’t bear the burden of housing holiday lights year-round. With Silver Bells’ all-inclusive program, you’re relieved of this logistical headache. There’s no need for storage arrangements. We manage the entire lifecycle of your holiday lights, from installation to removal and secure storage in our facilities. It’s another way we elevate the convenience of your community experience.
Strengthen Bonds and Elevate Perception
The enchantment of holiday lighting transcends mere visual allure—it fosters community pride and unity. A well-designed and skillfully executed holiday lighting display can establish a cherished tradition, uniting residents in shared joy. Furthermore, an exceptional display elevates your community’s perception. Well-lit spaces can positively influence property values and create a welcoming ambiance for both residents and visitors. However, a poorly executed display can evoke frustration and disappointment. With Silver Bells’ expertise, your holiday lighting becomes a testament to your community’s dedication to excellence.
Crafting Brilliance Within Budgets
Resource management is vital, and our design process balances creativity with practicality. We can initiate the design process with your designated budget, expertly crafting a lighting design that maximizes impact while staying within your financial parameters. This strategic approach ensures your community receives exceptional value and beauty, tailored to your budget.
Elevate Your Community’s Holiday Spirit
Silver Bells invites your community to embrace the season’s spirit with holiday lighting that genuinely mirrors your identity. Our all-inclusive program liberates you from maintenance, storage, and unexpected costs, enabling you to focus on what truly matters—creating lasting memories and nurturing a stronger sense of belonging.
We provide the lights and materials!
We offer an all-inclusive service that includes all the commercial-grade materials required as well as a custom lighting design, skillful installation, prompt ongoing maintenance, efficient removal, and storage at our facility. Not only will we light your property with the highest quality materials and techniques for best aesthetics, but we also guarantee our work and handle everything from start to finish so you can enjoy the holidays without the hassle of untangling lights, hunting for matching replacements, fussing with ladders, or freezing your tush off while attempting the inevitable mid-season repairs when something stops working or gets pulled down by snow or wind…all while remaining safely on the ground.
All of them! Not only do we have a wide range of options for Christmas, but we have a range of
options for every occasion including Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, Diwali, and more! It’s not uncommon for us to add additional décor as requested; a free consultation with one of our designers is the best way to get started!
Ah, this question warms our hearts! The earlier the better for the most advantageous pricing, scheduling timeframes, and access to custom décor (inventory is limited for some items). We tend to start getting more consistently busy with quote requests around mid-July with a serious ramping up by mid-September that winds down mid-December. Projects that are exceptionally large, highly customized, or require special equipment may require earlier planning.
Additionally, our designs are customized to you – this makes them fun and flexible; sometimes this may require a revision. This is particularly common if multiple decision-maker are involved (as is common with HOAs or commercial properties) or if goals/budgets are being adapted through the process. We want to ensure ample time for these circumstances.
Why yes, we do! We prefer LED lights because they run on approximately 80-90% less energy than incandescent lights, are more durable, and they last much longer. The specific bulbs we use are C9 LED with SMD technology – they are the latest and greatest in LED technology. They have a proven track record, use even less power than the older style LED bulbs, are brighter, and look fabulous from all angles.
Helpful tip: In the Treasure Valley, it is very difficult to get an apples-to-apples comparison between different companies – be cautious and ask good questions. Many companies in the Boise area are using C7 LED bulbs which are much smaller and dimmer than C9 LED bulbs OR they are using an older style or lower quality C9 LED bulb. Even the 5 diode LED bulbs which were top-of-the-line a few years ago do not stack up against bulbs with SMD technology like the ones we use. Make sure you know what you’re getting!
We will provide you with a customized design and quote based on your lighting objectives. We have a very formulaic approach to our pricing which accounts for a variety of factors such as proper installation method, required materials, and difficulty. This enables us to give you the best
price possible and to tailor the design to your needs – both style and budget.
As part of our commitment to excellence, we use only top-of-the-line, professional grade materials which we will custom fit to your home or business. Not only does this mean longer-lasting lights…but it also means you are getting an incredible value and beautiful display with all the lights exactly where they should be. We do not use the cheap, plug-and-go light strands that many of our competitors use. We assemble all the materials from scratch and custom cut them on site during your installation for the perfect fit.
Absolutely! And at no additional cost.
You bet! At the end of the season, we will take down the holiday lights and décor and will carefully store them until next season. Don’t worry about forfeiting precious storage space in your garage or attic!
Yes, yes, yes, and yes!
We do! Our warm white C9s are designed to mimic the warm glow of the clear incandescent bulbs and give you the best of both worlds – classic aesthetics with energy-saving technology, superior lifespan, and enhanced durability.
Pro tip: Cheap imitations often carry a green undertone or are unnaturally yellow or orange. Quality matters here!
Warm white mimics the golden glow of the classic, clear incandescent bulbs. This range of white light color is often referred to in the big box stores as “soft white” and typically falls within the range of 2700-3000 kelvins.
Pure white can be described as more of a true or neutral white – similar the color of a piece of standard printer paper. Big box stores often call this tone of white “bright white” and its generally around 4000 kelvins.
Pro tip: Weird color tones can be one indicator of poor-quality bulbs. Low quality warm white bulbs often have a green undertone or are unnaturally yellow or orange; low quality pure white bulbs often have a bluish undertone and are the reason many people didn’t like LED lighting when it was first developed (luckily things have come a long way since then!).
Nope – you do your thing; we’ve got this covered! If the unique needs of your project would require otherwise, we’ll be sure to coordinate with you, but this is very rarely needed. Our goal is to make every step of the process as easy and convenient for you as possible.
We can’t necessarily speak to why that happened with your specific contractor, BUT we can tell you that you’re not alone and this is a very common issue holiday lighting customers face with other companies. Which is a HUGE bummer when hiring for a repeat service and hoping to not have to “shop” every year…or worse…being stuck with materials no reputable company will hang for you. Many companies offering holiday lighting in the Treasure Valley are doing it as a side hustle or an add-on service without necessarily understanding the ongoing costs required. As a result, they often underprice their services and then struggle to keep up or determine it’s not worth the hassle. Similarly, there are organizations aggressively trying to convince every window cleaner, painter, and landscaper across the country to add holiday lighting services to their company; they often get duped into believing that it is an easy service to add…only to learn later that it is much more difficult and costly than they anticipated. With Silver Bells, not only will you receive the highest quality design and service, but a solid team of lighting professionals with a long history and proven track record of excellence. We understand how to run a successful and efficient holiday lighting program – just like you deserve! You can bet we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Oh my, where to begin?! With Silver Bells, you can rest easy knowing you’ve hired top professionals who will do beautiful work and make your life easier throughout every step of the process. We are lighting professionals – not a landscaping, pest control, painting, or window cleaning company just looking to keep employees busy during a slow season. This isn’t a hobby or side gig. This is our passion and area of expertise, and it shows. We aim to please and our work is 100% guaranteed! We use only top-of-the-line products to make sure your lighting looks stunning. You’ll never question what your final bill will be. We are upfront with all costs, and you’ll never get a surprise charge. We promise you’ll love what we do – Give us a shot, you won’t be disappointed!
We offer a wide range of options. Our standard C9s for Christmas lights include warm white, pure white, red, green, and blue; For other holidays we have additional options. For trees, bushes, columns, etc. we offer the same C9 colors (color matched!) as well as some amazing specialty strands that combine multiple color schemes and add extra sparkle to your holiday display. For our full range of options as well as aesthetic recommendations for your project, it’s best to meet with one of our designers for a free consultation. We’ll help get the creative juices flowing, show examples from past projects, and guide you toward a final design you’ll love!
With our all-inclusive holiday lighting, mid-season maintenance is no additional cost to you. So, if a bulb burns out, snow pulls down some lights, a tree stops lighting up, etc., just let us know and we will be out to get it taken care of promptly.
This will require you to do your homework on the options you’re considering. Aside from the risks of paying for poor-quality materials or a subpar customer service, here are some scarier things you should be aware of when you don’t use the right professional:
