Christmas and holiday light installation in Upper Arlington and Columbus
We put up Christmas and holiday lights for homes in Upper Arlington and about 20 miles around, keep them working all season, then take them down and store them in January. The lights are ours, so there’s nothing for you to buy or store.
From $750
Season one: limited to 10 homes
What’s included
One price covers the season: putting the lights up, a standard timer, fixing our own equipment if it fails through January 1, taking the lights down in January and storing them.
The roofline
Eaves, gables and ridge lines, on wire cut to fit your house, with the bulbs 12 or 15 inches apart at the same price.
Trees and shrubs
Trees wrapped up the trunk and main limbs, trunk-only wraps, and nets over shrubs.
Wreaths and garland
Pre-lit wreaths, hung and put on the timer, and lit garland on railings, doors and columns.
Outlines and walkways
Window and door outlines at ground level, spirals up columns, and stakes along a walkway.
Colors
Warm white or cool white are included. Multicolor, red and white, red and green, or twinkling warm white cost extra.
A timer
A standard timer is included, so the lights come on and go off by themselves. A smart timer is an upgrade.
A big house, or one with sides far apart, may need a second power run with its own timer, on its own line of your quote.
How we price it
From $750 for the season. Above that, each run of lights is priced by the foot, and trees, wreaths and the rest by their size or by the piece. A roofline run gets one rate, the highest that applies, never two added together.
Some homes need a look before we can quote: tall trees, a third story, or a steep or unusual roof, for example.
The deposit is usually half, paid before the lights go up; the rest is due when the install is done. The Maintenance Club’s discount never applies to holiday lights.

The season
Up in November or early December
We put lights up between early November and early December, on a day we agree with you. We don’t work on a wet, icy or windy roof, so the weather can move the day.
Kept working
If a bulb, wire, clip, cord or timer of ours fails through January 1, we fix it free. Rain can trip the outdoor outlet and a power cut can reset the timer: we’ll help you with those by phone first.
Down in January
We take the lights down between January 2 and January 31, weather permitting, and store them for you. On a snow day, snow removal comes first. We never pry clips off frozen gutters.
Our word.
Three promises from the crew, and what happens if we ever fall short.
We do what we say we’ll do.
Our word is everything, and we aim to beat your expectations on every part of the job.
We leave your place better than we found it.
And if we ever fall short:
Make-it-right guarantee
If you're not satisfied with any part of our work, tell us and we'll come back and make it right at no extra cost. If we genuinely can't, we'll refund that visit. No fine print, no arguing about it.
Questions about christmas and holiday light installation
Do I have to buy the lights?
No. The lights, clips, cords and timer stay ours: you lease them for the season, and we store them afterwards.
Is taking them down included?
Yes. Taking them down in January and storing them is part of the price.
Can you put up lights I already own?
No. We only put up, and look after, our own lights.
What do I need before you install?
A working outdoor GFCI outlet (the kind with a reset button), and permission from your homeowners’ association or landlord if you have one.
How much do holiday lights cost?
From $750 for the season. Your quote prices each run of lights by the foot, and trees, wreaths and the rest on their own lines, as a fixed price in writing.
Do my gutters need cleaning first?
The light clips go on the gutters, so if yours need cleaning, we quote gutter cleaning as its own item, before the install.
