CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- With Christmas right around the corner, items on your to-do list can pile up quickly. Some are turning to a real life Elf Squad to help them get ready for Santa's arrival.

• The crews come prepared with lights, ladders, clips to hold strings, and even festive hats
• Elf Squad pricing varies for each home

The crews come prepared with lights, ladders, clips to hold strings, and even festive hats to get homes ready for St. Nick.

Those who use the service say it's worth every penny.

"The fact that there is a service and there are people who are willing and look happy doing it, and we can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s all done. I don’t have to do anything, I don't have to take it down. It’s a no brainer,” said customer Jonathan Midura.

Elf Squad pricing varies for each home, but they say spots book fast around the holiday season.
