Halloween decorating in Chula Vista, CA costs anywhere from $450 to $1,340 on average for a front yard and porch display, including setup and takedown. The price depends on the size of the display, whether we supply the decorations or use yours, how much lighting and roof work is involved, large props like inflatables and giant skeletons, storage, and the setup date.
Yes, we decorate houses, apartments, storefronts, restaurants, offices, and event venues. Let us know whether the work is inside, outside, or both.
Planning the display, setting up the decorations, hanging lights, staking and powering props, and taking it all down after Halloween. We agree on exactly what's included before setup day.
Yes, we cover the Chula Vista, CA area. Send us the property address and we'll confirm.
Yes, in most cases. We can set up what you own, supply everything, or mix the two, and using your own decorations costs less.
Yes, takedown is usually included, and we set the date when you book. If you put a display up yourself and only need it taken down, we'll price that on its own.
Yes, in most cases we can pack and store your decorations between seasons, and inflatables are dried first so they don't mildew. The price depends on how much you have, so we confirm it when you book.
As early as you can, ideally by early September. October dates fill quickly, and big custom displays with music or animation take several weeks to plan.
That's up to you. Setting up in early October gets you the whole month, and we agree on the takedown date at the same time.
Yes, if we have an opening. October is the busiest month for Halloween installs, so call as soon as you have a date.
The address, photos of the yard and front of the house, photos of any decorations you own, and your setup date. Pictures of displays you like help a lot.
No, not for outdoor work as long as we can reach the yard and an outdoor outlet. Someone needs to let us in for indoor decorating.
Yes, but get your landlord's OK first, especially for anything on the roof or gutters.
Yes, in some communities. Some HOAs limit display size, lighting, or how long decorations stay up, and owners have been fined for leaving a 12-foot skeleton out after the season. Check your rules and we'll plan around them.

Most jobs are priced as one package for the whole display. Small jobs can be billed by the hour, usually $50 to $100 an hour plus any decorations we supply.

Yes, we hang orange, purple, or green lights along rooflines, gutters, and windows. Tell us whether the house is one or two stories and where the outdoor outlets are.
Yes, roof and second-story work takes taller ladders and more time. Hard-to-reach rooflines usually add about 20% or more to the lighting part of the job.
Yes, we stake each inflatable at the base and tether it so it stands straight in wind. Tell us how far the spot is from an outdoor outlet.
Yes, we stake the feet and tie the frame off higher up to a post, railing, or extra ground anchor so it can't tip. On concrete we use weights instead. Tell us whether the spot is grass, gravel, or concrete.
Yes, we do porches, steps, railings, and front doors with garland, pumpkins, lights, and props, and we keep a clear path to the door for trick-or-treaters.
Yes, we group real or faux pumpkins and gourds on steps, porches, and beside the door, carved or lit if you like. Tell us how many steps you have.

Yes, for lights, inflatables, and most animated props, and it should be GFCI-protected. If you don't have one, an electrician can add it before setup day, or we can use battery-powered pieces.
Yes, we stake and tether props for normal weather. Wet soil loosens stakes, so check them after heavy rain, and if wind starts folding an inflatable over, unplug it until the wind drops.
Yes, they can be if a candle sits near anything that burns or an outlet gets overloaded. We use LED lights and flameless candles and never link more strands than the maker allows.

Yes, we can take down the Halloween display and put up fall, Thanksgiving, or Christmas decor. Booking both together can save a second visit, and early November dates fill up fast.
