Mitchell Lighting

These clowns specialize in seasonal holiday lighting. Three years ago they came highly recommended and I signed up for a three year lighting display which was basic and mainly involved white light strands in the front bushes and a larger light strand around the roof lines. Year one and two were average. The installers are subcontractors and generally arrived after or near Thanksgiving. They run the wires, hang lights and move on.
This year they placed the strands in the front bushes and along the roof lines. Simple white holiday lights. nothing high tech, and I really didn’t design some moving artistic display… just simple white lights… to accent an architectural, plain, modern accent. The concept is to have them store, hang and take down strands of lights. This year, half of the front bushes, with the cheapo, strands, lost the lights after last Monday. We called last Thursday and they promised to remedy the matter. After Saturday with no response, I examined the front strands and they are average cheap strands from wal mart or similar. Not sure if a deer knocked the plug off or they just died. After further looks… the fancier lights along the roof line have about 20% burn out before thy have been up two weeks. If I had the time or energy I would just rip this crap, out. I have seen better displays on strip clubs in Brooklyn, illinois.
In practice, a holiday lighting specialty company might have spare bulbs or some one to swing by and see how the shit looks. I really don’t care about the service agreement or these clowns by now. I suppose it’s abandoned scrap material and I will need to remove it. But. save your aggravation and enjoy the season… just do not assume Mitchell Holiday Lighting gives a damn… happy holidays… Anyone want to start a holiday lighting operation business next year??? I know Mitchell has many unhappy clients.
