Christmas Light Installation Services

A professional Christmas light installation should still look perfect three weeks in — the roofline straight and even, no sagging strands, no bulbs out. Christmas Light Professionals handle the whole process for homes and businesses across Utah, Colorado, and Idaho — measuring and designing the layout, hanging LED lights with weatherproof wiring and gutter-safe clips, setting up power and timers, checking in if anything needs attention mid-season, then taking it all down and storing it properly once the holidays are over.

Tools for Exterior Christmas Lighting

A typical installation starts with measuring the property: linear footage along the roofline, the height and trunk diameter of any trees being wrapped, and the location of usable outdoor outlets. Based on those measurements, the crew selects materials sized to the job — usually high-quality LED bulbs for rooflines and walkways, and mini or micro LED strands for trees and shrubs, since they wrap tightly around branches without adding much weight. LED lights also use far less power than older sets: about half a watt per C9 bulb in LED form, versus 5–7 watts for incandescent C9s.

Mounting hardware has a bigger effect on the finished look than most people expect. Gutter and shingle clips hold strands in place without puncturing roofing material or pulling on fascia boards, and they come off cleanly in January without leaving residue or bent gutters behind. On the power side, outdoor LED lights run through GFCI-protected outlets and properly sized outdoor-rated extension cords, usually paired with a timer or photocell so the display turns on and off automatically every night. Done well, the hardware itself disappears — no visible clips, zip ties, or sagging cord, which is the real difference between basic Christmas exterior lighting and an expert, finished installation.

Steps for Christmas Light Installation

The stages involved in installing outdoor lighting by Christmas Light Professionals cover everything from the initial enquiry to dismantling at the end of the season:

1. Measurement and design — we walk the property, measure roofline footage and tree dimensions, and sketch a layout showing where every strand and extension cord will run.
2. Material prep — lights are cut and connected to match the exact runs measured, so the installation leaves no visible gaps or extra plugs hanging.
3. Installation — a team of installers typically needs a few hours for a single-family home with 100–200 linear feet of roofline; larger properties or commercial sites with multiple buildings can take a full day or more.
4. Walkthrough and testing — every circuit is tested before we leave, timers are set, and we walk the display with you to confirm it matches the design.
5. Mid-season maintenance — if a strand goes out or a clip comes loose in a storm, we come back out and fix it during the season.
6. Removal and storage — lights typically come down in early-to-mid January, sorted and labeled by feature (front roofline, side roofline, tree #1, etc.), so it’s faster to get your Christmas lights put up next season.

The result: an even, fully connected display with no visible cords and no gaps where a strand runs short.

Lighting Up the Christmas Tree

Lighting trees for Christmas comes down to ratio and pattern more than anything else. As a general guide, plan on about 100 mini lights per foot of tree height for a fully lit look, more for a denser display.

Strand choice matters too. For lighting tree branches outdoors, LED strands rated for tree use hold up better through wind and freeze-thaw cycles than standard indoor or short-run strands — which matters most on taller or more exposed trees.

Cost of Christmas Lights Installation

The cost of Christmas lights installation depends on a few factors: roofline linear footage, the number and height of trees being wrapped, and whether the job includes removal and storage at the end of the season. Outdoor commercial Christmas lighting for storefronts and multi-building properties is priced individually based on square footage and design complexity.

Every quote breaks down labor, materials, and any add-ons — like timers or extra outdoor outlets — separately, so you know exactly what’s covered before work begins.
