What you are buying

What is actually included.

No price list on this page, and there is a reason for that: a number given before anybody has looked at your roof is a number that changes later. Here is the work itself instead.

Every job, every house

Six things you get whatever the house costs.

Cut to your house

The strand is measured and cut to your roofline, not pulled off a shelf in a fixed length. That is why the runs end where the roof ends instead of doubling back or leaving a dark gap at the corner.

Clipped, never stapled

Every bulb sits in a clip that hooks under the shingle edge or on the gutter lip. Nothing gets stapled or nailed into your fascia, so there are no holes left behind in January.

Professional-grade bulbs

C9 bulbs on commercial-grade wire, not the box-store strand that dies in the third week and takes the rest of the run down with it.

No slack, no sag

The wire is tensioned as it goes up. A sagging line between two clips is the difference between a house that looks done and a house that looks decorated in a hurry.

I fix it if it goes out

If a run goes dark mid-season you call me and I come back out to it. You are not the one on the ladder in December.

Taken back down

Takedown is part of the job, not a second thing you have to book. The clips come off with the lights.

Start to finish

From the phone call to the clips coming off.

  1. 01

    You call and describe the house

    How many storeys, roughly how far the roofline runs, and whether you want trees, shrubs or porch columns done as well as the roof.

  2. 02

    I come and look at it

    A roofline measured off a photograph is a roofline quoted wrong. I look at the pitch, the access, and where the power actually is.

  3. 03

    The run is cut to your roof

    Measured and cut to length before anything goes up, so the run ends where the roof ends instead of doubling back at the corner.

  4. 04

    Clips first, then bulbs

    Clips get spaced along the shingle edge or gutter lip down the whole run before a single bulb goes in. That is what makes the spacing hold.

  5. 05

    It stays lit, or I come back

    If a run goes dark mid-season, you call the same number you called in October. You are not the one on the ladder in December.

  6. 06

    January, it all comes down

    Takedown is part of the job, not a second booking. Lights and clips both come off.

Booking runs from late October and the calendar tightens through November, because everybody wants their lights on the same weekend. Call (678) 421-8783 and describe the house.

What people want to know first

How much does Christmas light installation cost?

There is no published price list. Cost depends on the length of the roofline, how many storeys, the roof pitch, and how much of the property you want lit beyond the roof.

A number quoted before seeing the house is a number that has to change afterwards, which helps nobody. Call and describe it, or ask AJ to come and look.

Is takedown extra?

No. Taking the lights down is part of the job rather than a separate booking.

What bulbs do you use?

Professional-grade C9 bulbs on commercial wire, cut to the house — not a fixed-length box-store strand.

Warm white, red and green, or multicolour. The gallery has all three so you can see them on a real roof rather than on a packet.

Do you do more than the roofline?

Yes — gables and peaks, porch columns wrapped, trees wrapped trunk and limb, and foundation shrubs.

Tell me what house you want lit.

Quickest way to get an answer is to call. If it is after hours or you would rather write it out, send the form and I will get back to you.
