Every summer I hear some version of the same conversation. A homeowner in Wake Forest calls, loves the idea of professional lights on their house this year, and then says, “Let’s just do it next year — I want to plan for it financially.” I understand that. A full lighting package is a real expense, and nobody wants to drop the whole amount at once in October.
The good news is you don’t have to. We offer a simple 50/50 deposit option: pay half up front to reserve your installation date, and the remaining half when your lights go up. Simple, straightforward, no interest, no fees.
How the Deposit Option Works
You pay 50% of your total job cost when you book, which locks in your spot on our schedule for the season. The remaining 50% is due the day your lights go up — not before, not after. There’s no interest added, no application, and no credit check. It’s the same structure whether your package is a simple rooflines job or a full wraparound design with trees and landscaping accents.
This Is Not Financing — It’s Just a Deposit
I want to be clear about this because people sometimes assume a payment plan means a loan or a financing company is involved. It isn’t. There’s no interest charged, no third-party lender, no credit application, and nothing that shows up on a credit report. You pay half now and half at installation — the total you pay is exactly the same either way, just split into two payments instead of one.
If you’d rather spread the cost out further than two payments, we also offer financing through Wisetack, our third-party partner, with rates ranging from 0% to 29.9% APR depending on your credit. That’s a separate option from the deposit plan — reach out and we can walk you through which fits your budget best.
Who This Is For
Every homeowner who books with us can use the 50/50 deposit option, whether you’re in a starter townhome or a custom-built estate. We’ve set it up for families in neighborhoods like Heritage, Wakefield, and Traditions, and the process works exactly the same no matter where you live or how large the job is. There’s no minimum job size and no restriction based on package type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there interest on the deposit plan?
No. There is no interest, no financing fees, and no third-party lender involved. You pay half when you book and half on installation day.
When is the first payment due?
Your first payment — 50% of your total job cost — is due when you sign up and book your installation date. That payment secures your spot on our schedule for the season.
When is the remaining balance due?
The remaining 50% is due the day your lights go up, before our crew leaves.
Does this affect my credit?
No. This is not a loan or financing product, so there’s no credit check and nothing reported to any credit bureau.
Do I need a minimum package size to qualify?
No. The 50/50 deposit option is available for any job size, from a simple rooflines package to a full custom lighting design.
Is there another option if I’d rather pay over a longer period?
Yes — we also offer financing through Wisetack, a third-party partner, with rates ranging from 0% to 29.9% APR depending on your credit. Reach out and we’ll walk you through the details.
