Every one is a lighting job you could never chase from up a ladder stringing lights. Maria screens them and books the ones inside your service area:

Maria speaks holiday lighting

She can tell a null pixels from a ridgeline run, knows what tracing / outlining and props (coro) mean, and doesn’t stall when a caller rattles off warm white vs pure white or spider boxes. So the homeowner on the other end gets qualified, not fumbled — and while you’re up a ladder stringing lights, she’s booking jobs.
