The lease, one page
I own the lights. You own the view.
The old way: buy a set, climb a ladder, store a tangle, buy again in five years. The lease is one number a year, and it gets smaller.
What the year looks like
- October. You get a written quote. I measure the roofline off a photo or a visit and cut the set to it.
- Install day. One visit. Timer plugged in, every bulb tested after dark.
- The season. Something goes out, you text me, it's fixed within 48 hours. No invoice.
- January. I take it down, label it with your name, and store it. You don't touch a ladder.
- Next October. Same set, same house, 10% less. It goes back up and the year starts over.
The price curve
Year one is the full price from the price list. Year two is 10% less. Year three is 20% less. Year four is 30% less, and that's the floor. Every year after year four is the same number, in writing, no matter what happens to my costs or what new customers pay.
A 120-foot single-story front runs $940 in year one and $658 from year four on.

Moving, cancelling, changing your mind
Cancel before install, deposit back in full. Move inside the valley and the new house gets your current discount. Move out of the valley and the agreement ends. Want to add trees or a garage outline in year three? Add-ons are flat and drop on the same curve.
