Why It Matters

We hang the lights. You enjoy the season.

Christmas light installation is one of the most common requests we get every November. We custom-fit warm white or full color commercial-grade C9 or mini lights to your home's eaves, roofline, trees, walkway, and porch posts. Nothing comes out of a box off a shelf. Every strand is cut and built to the measurements of your house, so the runs sit tight to the trim and the spacing stays even from one end of the roof to the other.

We install in November, take everything down by mid-January, and store all the lights and clips at our shop between seasons so you don't lose them or fight a closet full of tangled wire next year. Most homes are 3 to 5 hours to install and 1 to 2 hours to remove. You do not need to be home for either visit.

Book early if you want a say in your install week. Our November route fills up, and the calendar gets tighter every week through the fall. Homeowners who get on the schedule in late summer or early fall have the best choice of install week. The people who call after the weather turns pick from what is left. If you want the lights on before Thanksgiving guests arrive, or before a set date on your calendar, earlier is easier.

One thing worth sequencing. Have your gutters cleared before the lights go up. Our crew is on the same rooflines either way, and it is a lot simpler to pull leaves out of a gutter before there are clips and cords running along it. Book gutter cleaning for the fall and we can line the two visits up.

We are based in Pomfret, CT and cover Northeast Connecticut, Worcester County MA, and Rhode Island. Call or text (860) 553-9326.

What's Included

What's included with Christmas light installation.

Standard Christmas light installation includes:

  • Custom fitting of commercial-grade C9 or mini lights
  • Warm white or full color, your call
  • All clips, extension cords, and timers provided
  • Eaves and rooflines, walkways, porch posts, and one tree by default
  • Additional trees, fences, or yard features quoted separately
  • Installation in November, removal by mid-January
  • Storage of all materials at our shop between seasons
  • Two-year warranty against bulb burnout

Most homes run between $600 and $1,400 depending on roofline complexity and tree work. A single-story ranch with one straight front eave sits at the low end. A two-story with dormers, several gables, and a tall spruce out front sits at the high end. Send photos of the front of the house and both corners to (860) 553-9326 and we will get you a range before anyone comes out.

If you would rather not do this every year, look at permanent outdoor lighting. That is a slim track mounted under the eaves once and left there, warm white on ordinary nights and full color for the holidays, with no takedown in January. Pricing starts at $42 per linear foot. A season or two of seasonal lights is a good way to work out what you actually want lit before you commit to permanent.

Clean siding shows off lights better than dirty siding, and both jobs work off the same ladders, so a lot of people pair the install with a fall house washing. See service areas for the towns we cover.

What the job looks like depends on the house and the town it sits in. Local details here:

This company was dependable, reliable, and professional. I had the house power washed, the roof cleaned of moss, and the gutters cleaned. These guys did a great job and were reasonably priced.

FAQs

What homeowners ask most about holiday light installation. Don't see yours? Get in touch.

When do you put the lights up and take them down?

We put the lights up in November and take them down by mid-January. If you want them up by a certain date, such as Thanksgiving, let us know when you book.

How much does Christmas light installation cost?

Most homes cost between $600 and $1,400. The price depends on how much roofline your house has and how many trees you want lit. Text photos of the front of your house and both corners to (860) 553-9326 and we will send you a price range.

When should I book Christmas light installation?

As early as you can. Our November schedule fills up through the fall, and people who book early get more choice of install dates.

Do I need to be home for the install?

No. You do not need to be home for the install or the takedown. Most homes take 3 to 5 hours to install and 1 to 2 hours to take down.

What happens to the lights after the season?

We take the lights down by mid-January and store the lights and clips at our shop until the next season.

What is the difference between Christmas lights and permanent lighting?

Christmas lights go up in November and come down by mid-January, and the cost repeats each season. Permanent lighting is a track that stays on the house all year, and you pay for it once. Permanent lighting starts at $42 per linear foot.
