Christmas light installation in Saugatuck

Victorian trim, cottages and clip-mounted lights

Saugatuck has Victorian-era houses, cottage-style homes and newer lakeshore builds. Old wood trim, porch rails, decorative detail and cedar shakes are easy to damage. Our lights are clip-mounted, with no nails, staples or glue, so nothing is driven into your trim or siding.

At the design visit we walk the property, measure every run and photograph the house. A porch roof, a gable and a bay can each be a separate run. You then get a photo mockup of the house lit up and one all-inclusive price. Everyday Roofline covers up to 100 feet of front roofline, in commercial-grade warm white C9 LEDs.

A porch or deck is part of the picture too. Tell us which side of the house you want people to see. That choice drives the design, and the street side is usually what most visitors and neighbors notice first.

Lake-effect snow, wind and ground-level lights

The lakeshore gets lake-effect snow and strong wind. Lights on the roofline stay above most ground drifts. Low pieces can get buried, so at the design visit we talk about where pathway accents will sit and how they will look with snow on the ground.

Every Roofline job includes a service call during the season, and Estate includes maintenance visits. If a storm moves a run, we come back. Signature Estate covers the whole property: rooflines, tree canopy and trunk wraps, lit wreaths and garland, and pathway accents. We draw it up on site.

Dune country means oaks and pines close to many houses. Tall trees cut the wind, but they also shade a yard and hold snow. Trunk wraps and canopy lighting give a wooded lot its shape after dark. At the design visit we look at your trees and tell you which ones can carry a display and which are better left alone.

If your Saugatuck house is a second home

Saugatuck has a mix of getaways and year-round homes. If yours is a getaway, you may not be here in December. We own the lights and do the upkeep, the lights run on a timer we set, and we handle the January takedown and storage. If you are away in November, tell us how we should reach the outlets. We use your existing exterior outlets and do not do electrical work.

Installs run early November to mid-December. The design visit is $150, credited toward your install, and it is confirmed once the deposit is paid. Booking takes 50% down, and the balance is due the day the display is lit. Call 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.
