Become an Installer
The limit is not money. It is ladders and daylight.
Every extra crew on the schedule is another family that gets a yes instead of a sorry. Here is what helping actually looks like.
Lighting companies
You have the trucks, the product and a crew who does this every day. One donated morning covers an entire home. This is the single most useful thing anyone can give us.
Experienced installers
You have done rooflines before and you are comfortable at height with your own harness and ladder. Come out with a crew on a Saturday.
Ground help
No ladder, no experience, no problem. Untangling, testing strings, sorting clips, footing ladders, running extension cords, keeping everyone fed. Genuinely halves the day.
Product and materials
Surplus commercial-grade C9s and minis, clips, timers, outdoor extension cords, stakes. We can use good used product; we cannot use tangled big-box strings from 2009.
What we ask of you
Not much, but these are not negotiable, because we are on somebody's property and often around their kids.
- Work at your own level. If you are not comfortable and competent on a ladder at height, stay on the ground. Nobody thinks less of you and we need the ground help anyway.
- Bring your own insurance if you are a company. If you are sending a crew and equipment, you carry your own general liability coverage the same as you would on a paying job.
- Treat it like a paid install. Same standard of work, same cleanup, same care with the property. A free install that looks free is worse than no install.
- Be discreet. You will sometimes learn why a household is on our list. That stays with you, and no photos of people or property go online without our say-so.
