Christmas Light Installation in Salt Lake City, UTSalt Lake City's older homes deserve lights that leave no mark.

Historic districts

Salt Lake City has nine local historic districts, including the Avenues, Capitol Hill, South Temple, University and Yalecrest. The city requires approval for most exterior work on designated properties. Its published rules don't mention temporary holiday decorations, so if you're unsure, the city's historic preservation staff can confirm.

Our lights are temporary by design. They go up on clips, with no nails, no staples and no screws, and they come off in January without leaving a mark on old trim, brick or shingles.

Steep streets, older roofs

The Avenues climb the foothills, in places steeply, on narrow streets. Houses there date mostly from 1880 to 1920, with tall gables, porches and trim. We plan each run around the house's details rather than forcing a straight line, and we're careful with older shingles and gutters.

Yalecrest's period-revival homes, on the East Bench between 1300 and 1900 East, often come with mature trees and manicured yards. A wrapped tree or two can do as much as the roofline.

Salt Lake at Christmas

The Temple Square lights, from late November to New Year's Day, are the valley's best-known Christmas display. Your house doesn't need to compete. It just needs to be done well, and kept that way until January.

The service is the same wherever you are: we hang the lights, keep them working all season, take them down in January and store them for free. How it works.
