Built for the most complex part of Christmas lighting

Tree lighting is hard to estimate because every tree is different. A simple trunk wrap may need a few strands, while a full tree wrap can require dozens of strands, extra cord, plugs, power planning, ladder work, and significant takedown time. LightMaster turns that complexity into a clear estimate — by considering the details that actually affect the job:
