Hanging your own Christmas lights in Mid-Michigan means a cold afternoon on a ladder, a tangle of strands that worked last year and don't now, and the same job in reverse once the gutters are iced over. We take the whole thing off your hands. We supply the lights, hang them, keep them working through the season, take them down after the holidays, and store them for next year.

160 a day

That's how many Christmas decorating injuries the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates happen each day of the holiday season, and nearly half of them are falls. Let us take the ladder.

The lights are leased, not sold. You aren't buying strands that end up in a tote in your garage. We use commercial-grade lights built to hold up to a full Michigan winter of wind, snow load, and freeze-thaw, not the big-box sets that come out of the tote next year tangled, half-dead, or not working at all. Because we install the same lights on your home every year, the fit gets dialed in: runs are cut to your rooflines, and next season goes up faster.

We're the same local crew that paints and power-washes homes around here, so working up on a roofline is everyday work for us. We treat your house the same way we would on a paint job.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Christmas light installation cost?

It depends on the size of your home or building, how much of it you want lit, and how many trees and bushes you want lit. Every building is different, so we quote each one individually. Call or text (989) 295-1096 and we'll get you a price.

When do I need to book?

Book by Halloween. Installs start after that, so your lights are up well before the holidays.

Can you hang my own lights?

No. We only install our own leased, commercial-grade lights. That way every strand on your building is one we trust to last the season.

Do you light up businesses?

Yes. We install on homes and businesses alike, from storefronts to office buildings.

What colors can I pick?

Classic multicolor or warm white. Tell us which look you want when we quote.

Do I own the lights?

No. The lights are leased. That's the point: you get commercial-grade lights without buying them, testing them every fall, or storing them. We supply them, install them, take them down, and store them for you.

When do you take the lights down?

After the holidays. We schedule your takedown with you, weather permitting. We handle the takedown and haul everything away for storage. You don't need to do anything.

Why not just hang them myself?

You can, but it means hours on a ladder in the cold, and that's where people get hurt. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates about 160 Christmas decorating injuries a day during the holiday season, with nearly half involving falls. We do the climbing so you don't have to.

How do I book, and is there a discount for coming back?

Half down reserves your spot. Book by Halloween. If you renew for next season, you get 10% off.

Do I have to turn the lights on and off myself?

No. Every job includes a timer, so the lights come on in the evening and shut off on their own.
