Residential Christmas Light Installation Services

As the holidays draw near, one of the most welcoming sights is a home lit up against the evening sky. For many families, Christmas lights are more than decorations; they’re a tradition that sets the mood for gatherings, celebrations, and the season itself. But putting up lights often comes with the less enjoyable parts: hauling out tangled strands, climbing ladders, and working in the cold, rain, and wind. That’s where a professional Christmas light decor team makes all the difference.

Great Estates Landscaping provides residential Christmas light installation that takes the stress out of the season. Instead of spending hours untangling cords and troubleshooting burned-out bulbs, homeowners can enjoy a display that is planned, installed, and maintained by experienced decorators. Our work goes beyond simply hanging lights. We design displays that fit the style of each home, highlight architectural details, and create a warm, inviting look that feels both festive and personal.

Our service includes every step of the process. We start with design planning, where we work with you to choose the right look for your home. Whether that’s a clean, classic layout or a bold and colorful display. Once the plan is set, our crew installs the lights safely and securely, using high quality commercial-grade materials that are built to withstand the season. Throughout the holidays, we’re available to handle any maintenance that may come up so your lights stay bright and reliable. And when the season ends, we return to take everything down and pack it away neatly, leaving you with no extra work once the holiday season is over.

Choosing Great Estates Landscaping means choosing peace of mind. Homeowners don’t have to worry about ladders, weather, or wiring. Instead, they get the enjoyment of a beautiful display that’s handled from start to finish by a trusted local company. From design through takedown, we provide a complete solution that lets families focus on the joy of the season while we handle the details.

Our Holiday Lighting Process

Our residential holiday light installation process is designed for simplicity and meticulous care. From the initial consultation to the final removal of lights, our team manages every detail, freeing you from any concerns. We coordinate with you to find optimal installation and removal times, ensuring a swift and precise process that minimizes any inconvenience to you.

Consultation and Design

It all starts with a conversation. We either visit your home or review photos to understand your space and your vision. Some homeowners know exactly what they want, clean white lights along the roofline, wreaths on every window, and a glowing tree out front. Others prefer a more colorful or playful look with reds, greens, and specialty décor. No matter the style, we create a design plan that works with your home’s architecture, landscaping, and personal taste. The goal is to make your home look festive while still feeling like your home.

The benefit: You get a custom design that fits your home and your personal style.

Professional Installation

Once your lighting plan is finalized, our expert crew takes care of the entire setup. We only use quality, commercial grade lights, which are significantly brighter, more durable, and last longer than typical retail Christmas decorations. Every component, including clips, fasteners, and connections, is designed for temporary use to ensure the protection of your roof, gutters, and siding. All wiring is weather resistant and meets UL safety standards for electrical components exposed to outdoor conditions. The outcome is an installed display that looks appealing during the day and truly shines when illuminated at night throughout the holiday season.

The benefit: Your home looks polished and festive without any risk to your property.

In-Season Maintenance

The weather doesn’t always cooperate, and even the best bulbs sometimes burn out. That’s why our service includes maintenance throughout the holiday season. If a strand slips or a section goes dark, we come back to fix it quickly. You won’t have to climb ladders in the cold or spend time troubleshooting. Just give us a call, and we’ll handle the rest.

The benefit: You enjoy a bright, reliable display all season long.

Takedown and Storage

When the holidays wind down, we schedule a convenient time in January to take everything down. Each piece is removed carefully, packed neatly, and if you choose, stored until next year. That means no boxes of tangled cords stuffed in the garage and no worries about damage during storage. When the next season arrives, your lights are ready to go.

The benefit: You start the new year without the hassle of cleanup or storage.

When you put it all together, our holiday lighting process is designed to be easy on you and beautiful for your home. From the first design idea to the last box packed away, Great Estates Landscaping handles every detail so you can enjoy the season hassle-free.

So you can enjoy the holiday cheer, and we’ll handle the lights.

What Impacts Your Christmas Lighting Installation Cost

The cost of residential Christmas light installation can vary quite a bit from house to house. Pricing is influenced by the size of your house, the complexity of the design, and the type of decorations you want included. A small, simple roofline outline will be on the lower end, while a large display with multiple rooflines, trees, and yard features will naturally require more lights, more time, and more detail.

Main factors affecting Christmas light installation cost:

Roofline length and layout
The more roofline there is to outline, the more materials and labor are required. Complex rooflines with peaks, dormers, or multiple levels also take more time to decorate.

Height and accessibility
Single-story homes are usually quicker and easier to install, while multi-story homes or properties with steep roofs require extra equipment and labor.

Type and number of lights
Basic white lights are a classic choice, while specialty options like color-changing LEDs, icicle strands, or programmable displays add to the cost but create a striking effect.

Additional décor
Wreaths, garlands, lawn figures, tree wraps, and driveway outlines all add to the overall look, and to the installation time and materials.

Maintenance and storage options
Great Estates offers full service packages that include in-season maintenance, takedown, and off-season storage. While these services cost more than purchasing your own lights, they also remove the stress of handling lights on your own.

Get an Accurate Price with a Free Consultation

Every home is unique, and holiday displays should reflect that individuality. The best way to determine the cost of your Christmas light installation is through a complimentary consultation. Great Estates Landscaping offers a personalized experience, assessing your property, discussing your vision, and providing expert recommendations. Our goal is to ensure your holiday lighting enhances your home’s beauty and captures the season’s spirit that works within your budget.

When to Start Planning and Schedule Your Christmas Light Installation

A stress free December during the holiday season begins with good planning. To avoid the rush, the ideal time to schedule your Christmas light installation is mid-September to mid-November. Many homeowners that are current customers have already booked their preferred dates by then, especially if they want the display to be ready in time for Thanksgiving dinners.

At Great Estates Landscaping, September marks the start of our scheduling, and our teams begin working on rooftops by mid-October. Calling us sooner allows us to offer you a broader selection of custom designs and installation times. After mid January, we’ll return to carefully remove everything.

Book early to secure your preferred Christmas light installation date and avoid the holiday rush. Delaying past late October limits options and risks your desired time being booked.

Choosing the Right Holiday Light Installers

When you search for holiday light installers near me, the options can feel overwhelming. The truth is, not every company brings the same level of care or know-how, and it shows in the final display.

What you want is a team that knows residential holiday lighting inside and out. A solid portfolio is a good sign, because it shows they can match different styles, whether you prefer a simple, classic look or something colorful and eye-catching. It’s also essential to make sure they’re licensed and insured since installing lights means climbing ladders and working with electricity.

Transparent pricing matters too. You should know precisely what you’re getting without surprises later on. And it helps to have a crew that doesn’t disappear after installation. If a bulb goes out or something shifts, you want a company that will come back and fix it quickly.

What to Ask Before Hiring a Holiday Light Installer

Do they have proven experience with residential holiday lighting?
Can they show a portfolio that matches the style you want?
Are they licensed and insured for safety and liability?
Do they provide clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees?
Will they offer season-long support if a bulb goes out or something shifts?
