Why We Do Not Install Permanent Christmas Lights

Permanent roofline lighting is a real category and there is good product in it. Here is why we do not install it, and what we would rather do for you instead.

The honest reason, first

Most of the permanent lighting inquiries we receive are not requests to design and supply a system. They are requests to install something already bought, usually a consumer track picked up online or from a big box store. We do not install customer owned product of any kind, so those are jobs we decline, and it is fairer to say that on a page than to say it on the phone after somebody has already spent the money.

What is actually wrong with the cheap systems

Consumer permanent tracks are sold on the promise that they are installed once and forgotten. In practice the channel is fixed to fascia or soffit that was never designed to carry it, the connections sit outdoors year round rather than for six weeks, and the control gear is the first thing to fail. A system that is permanent is a system that has to survive August as well as January.

What a seasonal install gives you that permanent does not

A display designed for this year rather than for the year it was installed. Materials that spend eleven months in storage rather than eleven months in weather. A crew that comes back inside 36 hours* if anything fails, because the materials are ours. And nothing screwed permanently to the front of your house.

If permanent lighting is genuinely what you want

Call and talk to us about it directly before you buy anything. We would rather have the conversation than have you spend money on product nobody reputable will hang. If it is the right answer for your property we will say so, even though it is not work we take.

Common Questions

What People Ask Us About This

How much does Christmas light installation cost?
Installs start at $799 and most full displays run $1,800 and up, depending on the size of the property and the design you choose. Every quote is free and every quote is all inclusive: design, materials, installation, in season service and removal are in the number, so there is nothing to add later.
Will you hang lights I already own?
No. We install our own commercial grade lights and we do not offer labor only installation. Retail strands are built to a price, not to a winter, and hanging them puts our name on a display we cannot stand behind or service. Everything we hang, we warranty and maintain.
What happens if lights go out during the season?
We come and fix them. Service calls are guaranteed within 36 hours* of your call, at no extra charge, from the install through January 1. The clock assumes weather a crew can safely work in; if a storm is sitting over the property we wait for it to pass and then we are there.
