Like an eccentric uncle, the holidays often sneak up on people and leave tinsel wherever they go. Deck the halls with today's Groupon: for $140, you get up to 75 feet of custom Christmas lights installation from The Service Group (a $300 value). For a list of zip codes the illuminators will service, click here. As part of this Groupon, if customers wish to cover more than 75 feet The Service Group is offering a discounted rate of $2.50/linear foot.

The Service Group's exterior outfitters decorate homes with commercial-grade Christmas lights that are cut and strung to accent each house's unique architecture. Fascia highlighters fully insure installations and beautify homes while hiding all extension chords and equipping rooftops with glowing lines for easy reindeer parking. The Service Group also includes a configurable timer that automatically rests lights during the day and awakens them at night. Homeowners do not need to be present during installation. All lights are C9 grade lights, and customers combine or choose from five colors: clear, red, green, blue, and amber. Staffers maintain light fixtures throughout the holidays, and as the sun dawns on a new year, return to residences to whisk away bulbs and compare favorite Christmas presents. The Service Group will also provide wreaths, garland, and trees at a 50% discount to Groupon customers; please call for more details and pricing.
