Christmas light installation in Winnetka

Lights that fit a Winnetka house

Many Winnetka houses have steep gables, dormers, bays and porch roofs. That is a lot of roofline, and it rarely runs in one straight line. At the design visit we walk the property, measure every run and photograph the house. Then you get a photo mockup of your home lit up, so you see the plan before you agree to it.

Brick and stone fronts look right with warm white. The light sits softly against masonry and old window glass. Our lights are commercial-grade warm white C9 LEDs, clip-mounted, so nothing is nailed, stapled or glued to your trim, shingles or brick. Everyday Roofline covers up to 100 feet of front roofline. If your house has several front gables, we will tell you plainly where the 100 feet runs out.

• Gables, dormers and bays are measured run by run
• Warm white C9 LEDs suit brick, stone and painted trim
• Clip-mounted, with no nails, staples or glue

Lake wind, big trees and the Estate package

Homes nearest Lake Michigan take more wind in December. Every Roofline job includes a service call during the season. If a strong blow shifts a run, call us. You should not be on a ladder in a Winnetka winter.

Winnetka lots hold mature trees, and a bare trunk looks plain next to a lit roof. Signature Estate covers the whole property: rooflines, tree canopy and trunk wraps, lit wreaths and garland, and pathway accents. We draw the design up on site, and we make maintenance visits through the season.

Whether your front walk is short or long, lighting it helps guests find the door on a dark night. A lit wreath and garland at the entry finish the picture from the street.

Timing and booking for Winnetka homeowners

Installs run from early November to mid-December, and takedown is in January. The design visit is $150 and is credited toward your install. It is confirmed once the deposit is paid. After it you get one all-inclusive price and a one-page agreement.

Booking takes a 50% deposit, and the balance is due the day the display is lit. We do not do electrical work. We use the exterior outlets you already have, and we will say at the visit if you need one added. Call Brad and Josh 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.
