About Elves N Ladders
From One Philadelphia Home to Millions of Lights: The Elves N Ladders Story
Welcome to Elves N Ladders! We’re in the business of brightening lives by creating stunning lighting displays for homes, businesses, and public spaces. From our beginnings in 2018, we’ve always been driven by one simple idea: bringing the magic of light to our clients and their guests.
Our journey began when our Head Elf, Zack Marker, decided to spread some holiday cheer by decorating his own home in South Philadelphia. Realizing that he didn’t have the type of home that he could decorate to his liking, the idea quickly evolved into offering his Christmas decorating service to others, and Elves N Ladders was born. Despite starting Elves N Ladders as a side job, Zack’s dedication, coupled with his background in designing wiring systems for military aircraft at Boeing, brought a unique blend of creativity and precision to our operation.
Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to work with a diverse range of clients, from NBA stars to hotel chains and even city districts, installing millions of lights since our start. We’re extremely proud of our 97% client return rate year over year, a testament to the high quality of our services and our commitment to customer satisfaction.
Our Values At Elves N Ladders
What makes Elves N Ladders truly special is our focus. Unlike other companies that provide Christmas lighting as a side service, we are a Christmas light company first and foremost. We also offer landscape lighting, patio/bistro lighting, and permanent RGB lighting, but our main passion is for the festive season.
The driving force behind our success is our team of dedicated ‘Elves,’ who are always guided by our core values that spell out “LIGHTS”.
LIGHTS
- Lead with Ownership
- Install with Excellence
- Get Better Every Day
- Hustle with Purpose
- Team First
- Speak Up Early
These values aren’t just words , they’re our commitment to each other, our clients, and our work.
Safety is also a top priority at Elves N Ladders. Our team is CLIPA Certified (Christmas Light Installation Pros Association) and undergoes extensive safety training to ensure they can deliver our services safely and efficiently.
bringing more light, more joy, and more stunning displays into the world
Our approach to service involves a comprehensive process that includes design, installation, maintenance, removal, and storage. We believe in staying ahead of industry trends and continuously strive to enhance our offerings. This involves attending trade shows and training across the country to ensure our clients consistently receive the best possible service and products.
As we look to the future, our vision is clear: we aim to make the ideas of 5,000 clients become a reality, create opportunities for 100 future Elves, and reach a revenue goal of $10 Million. However, what truly excites us is the thought of bringing more light, more joy, and more stunning displays into the world.
At Elves N Ladders, we’re more than a lighting company; we’re a community. We look forward to bringing a little bit of our magic to your home or business.
