You Want the Lights, Not the Ladder
Putting up Christmas lights is fun. Climbing ladders and untangling strands? Not so much. Here are four common DIY headaches:
The ladder is risky
Falls are the leading cause of holiday decorating injuries, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and roofs get slick in November.
DIY lines end up uneven
The lines can look uneven, the strands may sag, and some corners get missed.
Store lights don't last
Retail strands fade, flicker and die halfway through December.
Then it all comes down
Then January comes: back on the roof to take everything down, with boxes to find room for until next year.
We handle all of it, from the ladder work to the takedown. You just enjoy the lights.
Why Homeowners Choose Lights Around
Christmas light installation quotes can vary widely in what they include. One $900 quote may cover the lights alone, while another at a similar price may also include installation, repairs, takedown, and storage. To compare quotes accurately, ask every installer these five questions.
| What to check | Low-quote installers | Lights Around |
|---|---|---|
| Is everything in the price? | Low quote, then fees for clips, timers or takedown | ✔ One full price, in writing, before you say yes |
| Who supplies the lights? | You buy them, or they use retail-grade strands | ✔ Commercial-grade C9 LED bulbs, supplied by us |
| Is the crew safe on the roof? | No proof of insurance on the quote | ✔ Our own crew, trained and insured to work at heights |
| If a section goes dark, how fast is it fixed? | No repair time promised in writing | ✔ Within 48 hours (two business days), by a local crew |
| When does it come down, and where does it go? | February, or at extra cost | ✔ Taken down after the holidays and stored until next year |
One price. A finished display. Nothing to take down in January.

I love Lights Around!! This has been my third installation, and I’ve always been satisfied. There was a little issue with my installation and they didn’t quit until it was resolved. They are friendly and easy to work with. Santa even drops off cookies.

Lights around did an amazing job. Ryan and his crew were very professional and worked around our schedule. Our grandkids loved seeing the “elves” come out and put up our Christmas lights. They even had Christmas music playing while they worked. I would highly recommend them for next year! Awesome job!!! Loved the lights!!!!

This is the 3rd year in a row that we have had Lights Around decorate our house and we’ve been pleased with the results every time. Our package is a bit pricy, but well worth it. Our home lights up the cul-de-sac. Staff has been very courteous and pleasant to work with as well.

Install Day Is Part of the Fun
Watch our crew at work: an installer in festive red and green gear wraps the porch columns in warm white lights, lights up the shrub by the front door and hangs a lit wreath.
Kids watch from the window while the crew works and the Christmas music plays. As Pamela S. wrote in her Google review: “Santa even drops off cookies.”

Change Colors From Your Phone
In this video, a Virginia homeowner taps a color on the app’s color wheel and the whole roofline turns green in seconds. Warm white for every day, red and green for Christmas, orange for Halloween, or your team colors on game day.
- Christmas season only: color-changing C9 roof lights from $1,750 for up to 100 ft, controlled with the Pixel Dancer app. We take them down and store them after the holidays.
- All year: permanent lighting stays on your roofline, sits flush so it is hard to see by day, and changes color for every holiday.
Why Our Price Includes Commercial-Grade Lights
We use commercial-grade C9 LED lights, not store-bought strands. Here is what that means for you:
Sealed against weather
Every bulb is sealed against rain, snow and condensation, so your lights stay bright through winter storms.
Shatterproof bulbs
No broken glass on your lawn or porch.
No yellowing or flicker
The same clean color from the first night to the last.
Cheaper to run
LEDs use at least 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Single-bulb repairs
One bad bulb is swapped, not the whole strand.
Reused every season
We store your lights and reinstall them each year, so you never buy new strands in December.
Most of our customers book us again year after year, like Pamela (on her third install) and Cecilia (her second year).
