The City of Claremont reminds residents hiring holiday light installers that they can confirm businesses are properly licensed at claremontca.gov, search “business license,” and that they should also verify liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.

“These protections safeguard both homeowners and workers in case of accidents or property damage during installation,” according to City Manager Adam Pirrie. “Several companies have been actively advertising holiday light installation services in our area, and while many are reputable, a quick check for proper licensing and insurance can help prevent problems later.”
