How it works
One request. A clear next step.
Send your request
Start with your name, phone and ZIP. Email is optional; project details can come later.
Check local coverage
If an installer covers your area, we share your request with that one professional. No call list.
Agree on the details
Confirm design, price, installation, maintenance and takedown directly with your installer before booking.
What we cover
Lighting for your home or business.
Christmas lights
Roofline, trees, and wreaths — installed, maintained, and taken down.
Permanent lighting
Architectural eave lighting, tucked into the soffit. Warm white to full color.
Halloween
Tasteful seasonal displays for homes that skip the inflatables.
Commercial
Storefronts, HOAs, and entryways lit to a schedule you don't manage.

Before you book
Know the number before the call.
What Christmas light installation actually costs
Roofline-only vs. full displays, lease vs. buy, and what drives the number up.

Know what to ask before you hire.
Check insurance, roof protection, maintenance and takedown before agreeing to a quote. Our checklist explains what to verify.
View the six-point installer checklist
Installer vetting
Installers confirm licensing and insurance in their application before they can receive a request — and we publish exactly what that confirmation is and isn't.
Proper insurance expectations
Ask for current proof of insurance and confirm the scope of coverage before anyone climbs your roof.
Roof protection
The professional standard is non-penetrating clips — no staples, nails, or screws in your shingles, fascia, or gutters.
Professional installation practices
Commercial-grade materials, custom-cut lines, and planned circuits separate a pro install from a weekend job.
Safe removal
A complete quote includes end-of-season takedown, done with the same roof-safe care as the install.
Local matching
Your request goes to at most one installer who works your town and its rooflines — never a national call center.
