How it goes

Five things happen.None of them involve you on a roof.

  1. 01

    We measure

    We walk your property with you, measure the actual roofline foot by foot, and tell you the number before you commit to anything. Free, and there's no obligation at the end of it.

  2. 02

    We cut every strand to your house

    Nothing is a generic length pulled off a shelf. Each run is cut and every bulb is clipped to fit your gables, your peaks, your fence line. That's why it reads as a clean line instead of a droop.

  3. 03

    We hang it

    Commercial-grade C9 bulbs on our clips, our ladders, our insurance. Most houses are a single day.

  4. 04

    We keep it lit

    A bulb goes out in December, you text us and we come fix it. You are not driving to a hardware store two days before Christmas.

  5. 05

    We take it down in January

    We pull everything, box it, and store it for next year. Your gutters go back to looking like gutters.

The tape measure

What does it cost?Depends how much of it you want lit.

Most people have no idea what their roofline measures. Start with the house that looks most like yours.

Which one is closest to your house?

≈ 260 ft — about 6 school buses end to end, about 260 bulbs at 12-inch spacing.

Anything else you want lit?
  • Wrap the treesper tree0
  • Walkway stakes
  • Fence line
  • Second-story peaks
  • Wreaths and columns

    Takedown

A real house, a real night

This is whatthe street sees.

A two-story brick house at night with every gable and roofline outlined in warm-white bulbs, trees wrapped in colored lights, and a lit stone retaining wall along the front walk.

Every warm-white line on this house was measured, cut and clipped by hand. No two rooflines are the same length, which is exactly why nothing here is a standard strand.

Straight answers

The questions people ask mestanding in the driveway.

  • Are you going to tear up my gutters or my shingles?

    No. Everything hangs on clips designed for the edge of a gutter or a shingle. Nothing gets stapled, nailed or screwed into your house. When we pull it in January there is no evidence we were ever there.

  • Who is on the ladder, and what happens if they fall?

    We are. Our crew, our ladders, our equipment, and we carry insurance for exactly this. Homeowners falling off ladders in December is a genuinely common way to spend Christmas in an emergency room, and it is the main reason people call us.

  • Whose lights are these — mine or yours?

    Ours. We supply commercial-grade C9 bulbs and strands, cut to fit your house, and we store them in the off-season. You are not buying a box that lives in your attic.

  • What if a bulb burns out in the middle of December?

    Text us and we come out and fix it. That is included, not an extra visit you get billed for. You should not be on a ladder in the cold three days before Christmas.

  • What about rain, wind and ice?

    It is all outdoor-rated and it is clipped, not draped, so it stays put through Georgia weather. If a storm does knock something loose, that is a repair visit and it is covered.

  • What if I sell the house mid-season?

    Call us and we will work it out. Usually that means an early takedown, and lit houses tend to help a listing rather than hurt it.

Where we work

We work one streetat a time.

Booking early does not just get you a better date — it gets you on a route with your neighbors, which is how we keep install days short.

Not on the list? Call. If we're already on your side of town we'll likely say yes.
