Jeff Adamiak, the owner of GEM Home Maintenance, began We Hang Holiday Lights with his crew in the fall of 2017 to fill the primary business's offseason.

"It [holiday lights] sort of fit with our traditional business, window cleaning, power washing, that sort of slows down. ... And then I just realized how much happier you make people hanging Christmas lights as opposed to cleaning their windows or cleaning the roof or something like that," Adamiak says. "And I just fell in love with doing it. It became fun. It's Christmas lights, who doesn't like Christmas lights?"

How It Works
"We try to get as many of our customers installed in October. If you're a returning customer, we want to get your lights installed in October because it's safer. There's no frost on the roof in the morning and the days are longer, so it allows us to get more work done."

Along with the team's immaculate decorating and top-notch products, they provide maintenance service all throughout the holiday season.

"Part of the contract is, we maintain everything. Bulb goes out? Give me a call and within 24 to 48 hours, I have somebody out there doing the repairs," Adamiak says.

Maintenance is guaranteed until Jan. 6, which is when We Hang Holiday Lights begins the process of taking displays down.

"We come to disassemble the lights, we label them all and then store them for the customer at our facility.

Not Just a Light Company
When Adamiak began We Hang Holiday Lights in 2017, he quickly realized the positive impact he was making on his customers. Since then, his team has added a philanthropic facet to the seasonal business, providing lights for families going through tough times and bringing some light to their holiday season.

"We always try to look for as many of those as we can every year," Adamiak says. "I'd like to do more of those. Those are the most enjoyable jobs ever."

Only the Best
We Hang Holiday Lights only uses the best lights in the business, or, as Adamiak admirably calls them, "the Bentleys of the holiday light industry." The company uses C9 lights and customizes the length of the strips to perfectly shape the architecture of each house.

"I can cut these lights to fit any length, any design… And then, of course we can do bushes and trees and shrubs," Adamiak says.

All of the lights used by We Hang Holiday Lights are warm LEDs, not to be mistaken for the bright blue that people usually associate with LED lighting. These lights are incredibly illuminating and replicate the look of incandescent lights while using only 10% of the energy.

Adamiak believes that a job worth doing is worth doing right, and his customers certainly get what they pay for. He even compares his team's quality of work to that of Philadelphia's Boathouse Row and the iconic displays at Downtown Disney, but better!
