Montrose is where Express is based, so this is about as local as Christmas light installation gets. We hang commercial-grade lights on homes and businesses in town and out in Montrose Township, keep them running through the season, take them down after the holidays, and store them until 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.

Being close matters more with Christmas lights than with almost any other job we do. If a strand gets knocked loose in a windstorm or a timer needs adjusting, you're calling a crew that's a few minutes away, not one that has to fit you in on a route through three counties.

Montrose Christmas lights notes

A lot of Montrose-area homes sit on bigger lots out in the township, with long ranch rooflines, detached garages, and pole barns. Those spread-out properties are where a professional install pays off most: more roofline to cover, longer extension-cord runs, and more time on a ladder if you do it yourself. We plan the power and the runs up front so everything comes on together on one timer.

In town, it's mostly classic one- and two-story homes where a clean roofline outline looks sharp from the street. Businesses along M-57 get seen by a lot of evening traffic, and a lit building is an easy way to stand out through the holidays.

Frequently asked questions

Is Express actually local to Montrose?

Yes. Express is based on Lincoln Rd in Montrose. You're calling the same people who will be up on your roof.

Can you light up a pole barn or detached garage?

Yes. Outbuildings are common out in Montrose Township, and we can include them in your quote. We'll plan the runs and power so everything lights up together on your timer.

When do I need to book in Montrose?

Book by Halloween. Installs start after that, and half down holds your spot on the schedule.

Do you hang lights for Montrose businesses?

We do. Storefronts, offices, and commercial buildings are all quoted the same way: we look at what you want lit and give you one price.

What colors can I pick?

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

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.
