SSG, or South Shore Gunite Pools, is New England's largest pool builder. We offer building, renovation and maintenance services to residential and commercial clients throughout New England. Headquartered in North Billerica MA, we have been setting the standard for gunite construction and quality swimming pools since 1975. We are shockingly unique in the way that we build, eliminating the uncertainty of relying upon subcontractors and operating with fully in-house employees. This strategy allows us to take full responsibility for our client's projects.

"Complete SCUMBAGS...Worked for months on design and install on new construction home...nothing ever goes according to plan. Once I had line of sight on project completion, I went back to schedule the job and these aholes Ray Varela and Bob Guarino jacked up my price by 5K (within 90 days). This was after several attempts to bait and switch on several quotes...adding here, removing there...trying to inflate the price decrease the scope. I have several quotes documented and will provide evidence to anyone who asks to prove my point...of course these scumbags will dispute my story...but I own the facts. Too many contractor options avail...STAY AWAY FROM SSG!!"

Holiday lighting add or removes FAQs

Finding affordable Christmas light installers means identifying professionals with fixed, transparent per-foot and hourly rates. You locate cost-effective installers by evaluating local service providers who offer quality installation without compromising safety. Cutting corners on wiring and installation jeopardizes both aesthetics and safety, so select installers with proven credentials. Enhance savings by choosing accent areas over full coverage, sourcing your own lights, and using timers to regulate energy consumption and boost efficiency.

Yes, hiring an installer for off-season Christmas light installation provides definitive cost benefits. You secure reduced rates because service demand declines between February and September, and installers maintain availability throughout the year. Reduced business activity in these months leads to lower fees, and you have the option of hiring a local handyperson or opting for permanent installation services if required.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping your Christmas light installer is a customary practice that rewards the exceptional skill and dedication involved in creating your festive display. You affirm the value of quality service by providing a tip of 10% to 20% of the total invoice. This gesture not only recognizes superior workmanship but also encourages continued excellence in future projects.
