Christmas Light Installation in New Haven, IN

What does a Christmas light install in New Haven include?

One price covers everything. We supply commercial grade C9 LED lights, cut to the exact length of your roofline, so there are no dangling extra strands or gaps over the garage. We do not hang customer owned strands, because we cannot stand behind a set of lights we did not buy and we are the ones coming back if something quits.

Every job includes a timer so the lights come on by themselves. Sunset lands before five o'clock here in December and nobody wants to remember a switch on the way in from work.

• Custom cut commercial grade C9 LED lights, supplied by us
• Professional installation by an insured local crew, no subcontractors
• Commercial clips rated for wind and snow, no staples and no nail holes
• A timer set for your schedule
• Free in-season maintenance: a section goes dark, we come fix it at no charge
• January takedown and off-season storage at our facility

How much does it cost and when should I book?

Most homes in the Fort Wayne area land between $1,500 and $2,500 all inclusive for a full roofline install with takedown and storage. Roofline packages start at $600. Trees, bushes and wreaths are quoted per item. Four things move the number: how long and how high the roofline runs, how many trees and bushes and extras you want, how tough the access is, and how much of the property you want lit. Takedown, storage and mid-season service calls are never a separate charge. The full breakdown is on our cost page.

Book in September or October. The calendar fills by early November, and returning customers get first pick of dates. We start installing in late October and early November so lights are glowing before Thanksgiving. If you have been thinking about it, this is the month to call. More on timing in our guide to when to book.

• The Roofline ($600 to $1,500): front roofline, clean and simple
• Best on the Street ($1,500 to $2,500): full roofline, peaks and dormers plus wreaths, garland or lit bushes
• The Showstopper ($2,500 and up): full property design with wrapped trees and lit landscaping

What happens when the wind comes off the river and a section goes dark?

It happens. A hard freeze, a wind gust, a bulb that gives up in the middle of a cold snap. That is why we use commercial clips rated for wind and snow instead of staples, and why in-season maintenance is built into the price and not sold as an add-on.

You call or text, we put you on the route, and we fix it. No charge, no argument about whose fault it was. That is what separates a service from a box of lights. Trace Hansen put it this way about our family crew: "Excellent work and great service. The day after completion, they stopped by and noticed a spot needing touch up. They called me to let me know and took care of it. Great price and workmanship."

Do you handle businesses and storefronts too?

We do. Commercial installs for storefronts, restaurants, offices and HOAs are quoted per property and include design, install, maintenance, takedown and storage, same as a house.

Business displays go up first, before Thanksgiving shopping starts, which means they claim the October dates. If you run a shop and want lights on for the holiday rush, get on the calendar early.
