- Book your takedown date early
- Storage keeps next year easy
What the calendar says
Tradition says after Twelfth Night in early January, but plenty of homes take lights down earlier or later. The real deadline is your own sense of when the season is over.
If you want a professional takedown, early booking ensures you get a date before winter storms.
Weather matters
Ice, wind and wet roofs make takedown slower and riskier. A dry, mild day is ideal. If you wait too long, spring weather and pollen can make the job messier.
Our crews schedule takedown windows through January and into February.
What happens next
Lights are removed, coiled and labeled. You can have them stored for next season or haul them away. Either way, ask your installer to sweep the property for stray clips.

Quick answers
Is it okay to leave lights up into spring?
It is best not to. Lights are made for the season, and leaving them up risks damage and makes takedown harder.
Can you remove lights someone else installed?
Yes. We remove displays installed by others.
