Christmas light hanging serviceEverything we do, and when we do it.
From the first phone call to the day your lights go back into storage. No surprises, no extra charges for the parts other companies leave out.
The four parts of the service
- Fall
We hang them
Commercial-grade C9 LED bulbs, cut to the exact length of your roofline so there are no gaps and no extra cord hanging off the corner. They go up on clips. No nails, no staples, no holes in your house.
- All season
We keep them working
A bulb goes out or a strand quits after a storm? Call us and we come fix it. That's part of the job, not an extra charge.
- From 1 January
We take them down
Takedown starts on the first of January and every house is done before Valentine's Day. You never climb onto a frozen roof.
- Until next year
We store them for free
Your lights go into our storage at no charge, and you get a written receipt of exactly what we're holding. They're yours. You can pick them up any time, for any reason.
The lights
Commercial-grade C9 LEDs, cut to your roofline.
C9s are the big, classic bulbs. Store-bought mini lights look fine up close and disappear from the street. C9s are what make a house look lit from the end of the block.
- Cut to fit. We cut the wire to the exact length of each run, so there are no gaps, no bunched-up extra cord at the corners and no bulbs hanging past the edge.
- LED. A fraction of the power of old incandescent bulbs, cool to the touch, and far fewer burned-out bulbs.
- Commercial grade. Built to go up and come down year after year, not the single-season strands from the big-box store.
- Yours. You buy them once. After the first year, you pay for labour only.
Warm white C9s on a garage roofline: evenly spaced, tight to the edge, no gaps.
Your house
Clips, not nails. Your roof stays the way it was.
The lights hang on plastic clips that slip onto the edge of your gutter or under the edge of your shingles. We don’t use nails, staples or screws, and we don’t glue anything. When the clips come off in January there’s nothing to patch.
Steep roof? Three storeys? Tall trees? Those are the jobs people shouldn’t be doing off a ladder in November, and they’re the ones we’re set up for, including a bucket truck for the tall trees.
We plug into an outdoor outlet and set the lights to come on at dusk and turn off late in the evening. You don’t touch a switch all season. If you want different times, tell us.
You don’t need to be home for any of it. Plenty of our customers leave for work and come home to a house that’s already lit.
Step by step
From your first call to next Christmas.
- 1
You call
Today
Call 385-425-4963 and tell us where you live and what you have in mind: the whole roofline, a couple of trees, a colour you like. It takes a few minutes.
- 2
We look at the house
Free
We come by, measure the roofline and look at the pitch, the trees and where the power is. You don't have to be home, but you're welcome to walk it with us.
- 3
You get an estimate, with a cap
No obligation
An estimate for the lights and the labour, based on the footage we measured. Then a guarantee: your invoice will not come in more than 10% over it. If you want to start with the front and add the trees next year, we'll price it that way.
- 4
We hang them
Usually one visit
Our crew hangs everything, tests every run, and sets the lights to come on by themselves. You come home and they're on.
- 5
Down in January, stored until next year
1 Jan – mid Feb
We take them down, label them to your house and store them for free. Next fall you pay for labour only, because you already own the lights.
Seasonal, not permanent
The traditional way, on purpose.
You may have been shown permanent lighting: a track screwed along the roofline that stays up all year. That’s a different product and we don’t sell it. Ours is the classic kind: warm C9 bulbs for the holidays, gone in January, nothing left on the house for the other ten months.
Questions
About the install.
What kind of lights do you use?
Commercial-grade C9 LED bulbs, the big classic bulbs you see on the nicest houses in the neighbourhood. We cut the wire to the exact length of each run so it fits your roofline with no gaps and no extra cord. LEDs use a fraction of the power of old bulbs and stay cool to the touch.
Will the clips damage my roof or gutters?
No. The lights go up on plastic clips that slip onto the gutter edge or under the shingle edge. We don't use nails, staples or screws, and nothing gets glued. When the clips come off in January your house looks exactly the way it did before.
What happens if a bulb goes out?
Call us and we'll come fix it. Keeping the lights working through the holidays is part of the service. Storms, a bulb that quits, a strand that gets knocked loose. We handle it.
Do the lights come on by themselves?
Yes. We set them up to turn on at dusk and off late in the evening, so you never have to think about them. If you want different times, tell us.
Is this permanent lighting?
No. This is the traditional kind: the classic big bulbs hung for the holidays and taken down in January. There's no track screwed to your house and nothing left up the rest of the year. Permanent systems are a different product; we don't sell them.
Can you do trees, bushes and wreaths too?
Yes. We wrap trees trunk to tip, light bushes and hedges, and hang lit wreaths on gables and over doors. Look through the photos and point to what you like. We'll include it in the estimate.
My roof is steep or three storeys high. Can you still do it?
Yes. Steep and tall roofs are exactly the ones people shouldn't be on themselves. We have the equipment for them, including a bucket truck for tall trees.
Do I have to be home?
No. We can look at the house, hang the lights and take them down without you there, as long as we can get to an outdoor outlet. Plenty of customers go to work and come home to lights that are already up and on.
