Christmas light installation in Barrington

Long drives and open lots

In the villages around Barrington, larger lots are common, and some homes are a long way back from the road. A display has to read from far away. That favors bold, simple lines on the roof, a lit entry and accents along the drive.

Lights along a long drive need power. We do not do electrical work, and we use your existing exterior outlets. At the design visit we measure every run, and we will say if an outlet is needed. Pathway accents are part of Signature Estate, along with trunk and canopy wraps, lit wreaths and garland, and roofline lighting.

• Bold, simple lines read from a distance
• Pathway accents follow the drive and the walk
• Existing exterior outlets only; we say at the visit if one is needed

Farmhouses, brick Colonials and open-field wind

The Barrington area has farmhouses, brick Colonials and newer large builds. Each looks different with lights. A white farmhouse takes warm white well, and so does a brick front. We use commercial-grade warm white C9 LEDs, clip-mounted, so no nails, staples or glue touch your siding, shingles or brick.

Open land means wind. When fields and wide lawns surround a house, gusts have room to build. Every Everyday Roofline job includes a service call during the season, and Estate includes maintenance visits. If a run shifts, we come back. You never go up a ladder.

Trees, the whole property and booking

Tree canopy and trunk wraps pull the eye across a big lot. Signature Estate is a whole-property design, drawn up on site. If you have a feature you want considered, bring it to the visit. We will tell you plainly what fits the plan and what does not.

Installs run early November to mid-December, and takedown is in January. The design visit is $150, credited toward your install, and it is confirmed once the deposit is paid. Call Brad at 262-300-7729.

What it costs

You rent the display. We own the lights, so there is nothing to buy or store. A 50% deposit at booking holds your install date, and the balance is due the day your display is lit.

How it works

• Design visit. Book online or by text. We come out, measure every run and photograph the house.
• Mockup and price. You get a photo mockup of your home lit up, one all-inclusive price and a one-page agreement.
• Install. Early November to mid-December, on clips, cords tucked away, timer set.
• The season. A bulb out or a run shifted? Call or text and we come back.
• January. Josh and the crew take it all down, pack it and store it for next year.
