We hang the lights,
store them, and bring
them back next year.

Our packages start at $675 per season for a single-story roofline, $1,250 for a full front elevation, and $2,400 for estate properties quoted after a site walk. Every price is all-in: the lights themselves, custom cutting, installation, an energy-saving timer, in-season repairs, takedown, and off-season storage. Nothing is billed separately afterward. What moves a quote within that range is linear footage of roofline, how many stories and peaks, the pitch you are working on, whether you want trees, columns, or railings included alongside the roof, and how difficult the access is. Because the lights are leased rather than sold, you are not paying for inventory you then have to store and untangle — the strands come back to us, get tested and repaired, and sit on a labeled shelf with your address on it until next year.

Most Greater Seattle homes land between $700 and $1,400 for a first season, with the typical two-story front elevation sitting near $1,250. Smaller single-story homes come in around $675–900. Larger properties — long rooflines, multiple gables, tall access, or displays extending into trees and landscaping — run from $2,400 upward. For budgeting, expect the first season to be the most expensive one: measuring, custom-cutting strands to your specific roofline, and building your set is front-loaded work, and renewals are lower because that set already exists and fits. Booking by October 31 earns 10% off, which is the single easiest way to bring the number down.

It depends on your house and your tolerance for ladder work. If you have a single-story ranch and a box of lights that already fits, doing it yourself is reasonable. The calculation changes on a two-story home. Falls from ladders are among the most common serious home-maintenance injuries, and December in Seattle means wet shingles, early darkness, and cold hands — the worst possible conditions for roof-edge work. Beyond safety, there is the part people underestimate: a professional install looks different because the strands are cut to the exact length of each run, so lines are tight to the fascia with no sagging, no gaps, and no visible cords. Store-bought sets come in fixed lengths and never quite fit. Then there is the season itself — if a run goes dark in mid-December, we come fix it at no charge rather than you getting back on a ladder in the rain, and in January the whole display disappears without you touching it. The honest version: you are paying for the ladder work, the fit, and never handling a box of lights again. For most two-story homes, that is the trade people are happy with.

Every install uses C9 commercial-grade LED bulbs in 3000K warm white on professional stringer, custom-cut to your rooflines. The lenses are shatter-resistant polystyrene, so the color never fades, chips or cracks. Nickel-plated bases resist corrosion through Seattle’s rain, and bulbs are rated for up to 60,000 hours. They draw up to 90% less power than incandescent C9s and stay cool to the touch. Each bulb has its own socket, so if one fails the rest of the run stays lit and we replace it free during the season.

We do. The seasonal price covers the lease, so failed bulbs and worn strands are our cost to replace, not yours. If you’d rather buy your set outright, we can quote that too.

No staples, no nails, no screws. We use clips designed for shingle edges and gutter lips, and we’re already insured for roof work through our cleaning business.

Installs run October 15 through December 15, scheduled in the order booked. Takedown happens between January 2 and the end of February — you pick a window, we handle it.

Text us and we come out — no charge, no argument. Full Front and Estate packages get a 48-hour response commitment.

Nothing. Strands, clips, timers, and stakes all come back with us, get tested and repaired, and sit on a labeled shelf with your address on it until next season.

Barely. Commercial LED strands draw a fraction of old incandescent sets, and everything runs on a dusk-to-11pm timer unless you want different hours.

Yes. Warm white is standard; single-color and multi-color sets are available on any package, and Estate includes programmable sequencing if you want the house to put on a show.

Half to hold your install date, half after the lights are up and you’ve seen them lit. Nothing is due at takedown or for storage.
