Game Recognizes Game: No Fuss Lights Gives Props To Astros-Themed Christmas Light Display

We at No Fuss Lights are very proud of the holiday lighting displays that we provide for Houston-area homes and businesses. Even so, we are humble enough to acknowledge privately-created Christmas displays that knock our socks off.

Like this home in League City:

Not only do the lights blink and flash to music, but the windows display video screens that show footage of the Houston Astros and their World Series title celebration earlier this month. In addition, the lighting arrangements spell out various words (like “Astros” and “World Series Champions!”), and viewers can listen to the music, game broadcast audio, and interview comments from players on their own FM radios by tuning them to a specific frequency. (Oh, and you can also watch Santa Claus as he “works” inside the house!)

Since video of this home was first tweeted out on Monday, it has received over 6,800 Likes and more than 4,000 retweets as of noon Wednesday. (We won’t tell you exactly where it is, since the street it is on will become very crowded soon enough.)

We also want to remind you that time is running out to have No Fuss Lights design and install your Christmas light display. Though we can’t offer something like what you see in the video, we can help your home become the envy of the neighborhood!

Call No Fuss Lights today at 281-809-7021 for a free estimate. But do it today, because won’t be long before we are fully booked for 2017. Let us decorate your home this year with absolutely “No Fuss!”

Four Weeks ‘Til Christmas! Time to Call No Fuss Lights

Guess what, Houston? Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the Christmas season is officially upon us. In fact, today is the “four weeks to go” mark before December 25 arrives.

Put another way, it’s officially the “You can’t put it off any longer” season.

Plenty of people love to procrastinate when it comes to Christmas, but with trees going up and holiday music playing everywhere, there’s no denying that the yuletide clock is ticking. That means if you haven’t begun looking for gifts, planning holiday trips, or finalizing your Christmas card list, then you’d better get started pronto!

Yes, that means putting up Christmas lights and decorations around your home or business. But here’s a little good news: No Fuss Lights can take care of all that for you – if you call us right away!

After all, No Fuss Lights is more than halfway through our light installation season, and our appointment book is getting close to capacity. But we still have a few slots left for people who have put off calling us.

We’ll come to your home and give you a free estimate, and we’ll set up an installation date. Then we’ll come back and decorate your home, yard, and property with durable, festive LED lights. And once Christmas 2017 is in your rearview mirror, we’ll return and take everything down for you.

But partnering with No Fuss Lights isn’t like Christmas shopping – you can’t put it off until a day or two before Christmas Day. So give us a call right now at 281-809-7021 to get on our calendar. Then you can cross “hanging Christmas lights” off your holiday to-do list and have more time to tend to those (last-minute?) Christmastime tasks!

We’ll even decorate your palm tree if you want!

No Fuss Lights Wishes You a Happy Thanksgiving!

No Fuss Lights wants to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a happy and memorable Thanksgiving holiday weekend. With all of the turmoil caused by Hurricane Harvey this year, many Houston-area families will pause to count their blessings and enjoy their time with family and friends.

If your Thanksgiving Day celebration was anything like ours, it primarily revolved around food, family, and football. It was also the biggest diet “cheat day” of the year as people filled their plates with as much turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and other goodies as their stomach could handle. (And then went back for seconds!) Once the meal was over, everyone sprawled in front of the television to watch football and enjoy the tryptophan-induced haze together with their loved ones.

As you relax during your long weekend, we propose that you spare a thought for Christmas lights.

Seriously? you ask. At this moment, I don’t have the inner strength to think about all the untangling, testing, and hanging that comes with putting up Christmas lights on my home.

That’s exactly our point.

This year, why don’t you let No Fuss Lights take care of all that for you? We’ll decorate your home with beautiful, durable LED Christmas lights. And once the holidays are over, we’ll even come back and take them all down and haul them away. You won’t even have to think about stepping on a ladder at all.

Sounds enticing, doesn’t it?

Just call No Fuss Lights at 281-809-7021 for a free estimate. We’ll take this task “off your plate” this year so you can spend more time enjoying the holidays with your family and friends. After all the hard work and stress you’ve endured so far this year, you’ve earned it!

No Fuss Lights Also Handles Wreaths, Garlands, and Lawn Displays (Oh, My!)

When it comes to Christmas decorations, No Fuss Lights is definitely best known for our eye-catching holiday light displays. After all, it’s part of our name.

But it’s important to know that we’re more than just twinkling lights. No Fuss Lights can provide several other kinds of yuletide accouterments for your home or business.

  • Need a unique lawn display that lights up along with your Christmas lights? No Fuss Lights can do that.
  • Looking for some festive garlands that can adorn your outdoor balcony, property fence, or interior staircases? No Fuss Lights can take care of that as well.
  • Want a beautiful wreath to be hung on your door, in all of your windows, or in a spot high off the ground that’s difficult to reach? Not a problem for No Fuss Lights.
  • Would you like some holiday accents placed throughout your property, such as a red bow on your gate, red ribbon wrapping your lamppost, or ornaments dangling from your trees? That’s right – No Fuss Lights is the company to call.

Our experienced designers will work with you to create a holiday display that’s perfect for your home, business, or neighborhood. We’ll install and hang every part of your display, make sure that it’s powered correctly so that no circuits are overloaded, and then return after the holidays to remove it all and haul it away.

In short, we can give you the dazzling, breathtaking holiday display that you’re looking for – without the fuss!

What Does the Fox (TV Affiliate) Say About No Fuss Lights?

 

No Fuss Lights has earned a reputation for providing high-quality service and superior holiday display designs in the Houston area – and the local media are starting to take notice.

Earlier this week, KRIV-TV FOX 26 visited our crew while we were decorating a home. Reporter Rashi Vats spoke with No Fuss Lights owner John Emanuel about decorating for Christmas in November. The FOX 26 cameraperson also recorded some excellent shots of our technicians hard at work, and viewers were treated to images of some of No Fuss Lights’ finished projects. The segment aired during FOX 26’s morning news coverage on Tuesday.

Here’s a clip from the segment:

We’d like to thank the folks at FOX 26 for stopping by and chatting with us. And as for whether it’s too early to decorate for Christmas, No Fuss Lights can tell you firsthand that many Houston-area homeowners, businesses, and communities are already letting us install beautiful LED lights on their property.

Here’s the good news: we still have a few spots left on our schedule between now and Christmas. We’ll come out to your home or business, decorate it to your liking, fix any problem which may arise between now and the New Year, and then return to take down everything and haul it away – so you can have a “No Fuss” holiday season!

But don’t put it off! Call us today at 281-809-7021 for a free estimate.

P.S. – If you’re interested in working for No Fuss Lights this holiday season, give us a call. We’re looking for a few good people to help us spread the holiday cheer!

No Fuss Lights Has Been “Hangin’ [Lights] In the Neighborhood!”

Though many Houston-area residents have barely thought about Christmas yet, we at No Fuss Lights have been working from dusk til dawn almost every day. And while the majority of our customers are homeowners, we spent much of the last week decorating two different neighborhoods.

Back on November 8, our hearty crew went to Cane Island in Katy (about two miles northwest of Katy High School) to put up lights and decorations on its community center.

And on the following Sunday, our No Fuss Lights technicians traveled to Bellaire for another huge project. They spent the day hanging lights on more than eighty trees along South Rice Boulevard.

We want to extend a great big “Thank You!” to everyone who worked on these two projects. Your labor and expertise helped make these two areas shine and sparkle for the 2017 holiday season!

Here’s more good news: there’s still time to partner with No Fuss Lights to get your home or neighborhood decorated for Christmas. We’ll provide you with high-quality, beautiful LED lights as well as wreaths, garlands, or other yuletide décor. We’ll install, maintain, and remove your holiday display so you don’t have to worry about climbing up on ladders or testing old strands of lights this year.

But our appointment book is filling up fast, so don’t put it off any longer. Call us at 281-809-7021 today and get on our calendar. And if you are traveling around the Houston area and see one of our No Fuss Lights trucks or trailers, be sure to honk and wave!

Happy National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day!

Yes, you read that title correctly. The 12th day of November is “officially” National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day. That’s right – someone not only decided to dedicate a day to a fully-loaded pizza, he or she specifically chose to exclude anchovies from this commemoration.

All of us at No Fuss Lights love pizza with delicious toppings as much as the next person, but we were a bit perplexed about why someone would single out anchovies. But after a little thought, we figured it out – and we can certainly relate to this idea.

Think about it: when you engage our services, we make sure that you get “the works.” No Fuss Lights sends an experienced designer to your home to meet with you, plan a design for your property, and give you a free estimate. Once you give us the go-ahead, we come back with our expert technicians and install your outdoor lights, hang up any wraths, garlands, or other holiday accouterments, and test the display to make sure it works properly. If a problem arises after we finish decorating your home (such as a burned-out bulb), we come by to fix it at no charge (usually within a day or two). Then when the holidays are over, we return to remove all of the lights and decorations and take them with us so you don’t need to store them.

In other words, No Fuss Lights gives you everything you could possibly want – without the “stinky” hassle of hanging up lights yourself. Like a pizza with everything on it EXCEPT anchovies!

So give us a call today at 261-809-7021 to set up an appointment for a free price quote. And then enjoy a pizza with a multitude of non-anchovy toppings to celebrate today’s special occasion (as if you needed an excuse!).
