3. What Happens on Installation Day?

On the scheduled installation day, our dedicated team will conduct a thorough site inspection. We will then begin installing your custom lighting systems. Here’s how we ensure a flawless finish:

  • Custom-Cut Systems: We cut the lights to fit precisely along your roofline, creating a seamless look that enhances your home’s architectural features.

  • Wire Color Matching: We carefully match the wiring color to your fascia or roof color, ensuring that the wires are thoroughly hidden for a clean appearance. This attention to detail allows us to create a beautiful display without visible wiring.

  • Gentle Installation: We use durable plastic clips to secure the bulbs to your roof, which won’t damage your shingles. This ensures the integrity of your roof is preserved during installation.

Once the installation is complete, we conduct a thorough quality check to ensure everything is functioning perfectly. All the roof lights, shrub lights, pathway lights, lit wreaths, and garlands are connected to a single timer and powered by a single outlet, making your lighting system easy to control. We’ll do a final walkthrough with you, showcasing your dazzling new lights and ensuring you’re completely satisfied.

If you experience any issues such as:

  • Bulbs burning out (We rarely have this issue, but every once in a while it happens)

  • Misaligned lights due to wind

Just let us know! We offer free touch-up services within 24 hours to keep your display looking its best.

5. How Does Lights Removal Work?

At the end of the holiday season, we’ll:

  • Contact you to schedule a convenient time for lights removal.
