Orange County
How our Christmas light installation works
Start to finish, this is what you are hiring us to do across Orange County: design it from your photos, hang it on roof-safe clips, keep it working all season, and take it down in January. You do not get on a ladder. Our lights come back with us; your own lights stay with you.
Installing now. The 2026 season runs through Christmas. Call or text for remaining dates.
What do you actually do?
Four steps. The only one you take part in is the first.
-
Design
Text us two photos of the front of your house, or we take a quick look in person. We come back with what we would light, in what color, and the price. Most quotes go out the same day.
-
Install
We bring the lights, the timers, the cords and the clips. Everything is professional-grade LED, with C9 bulbs on the roofline unless you pick icicles. Nothing is nailed or stapled to your house.
-
Maintain
A bulb goes out, a section goes dark, a timer drifts. Text us and we come back out. It is included, not an extra. That covers the lights we supply, not lights you already owned that we hang for you.
-
Remove
In early January we take it all down and pack it up. Next season you send one text.
What is included when we supply the lights?
- The lights themselves. Professional-grade LED lights, with C9 bulbs on the roofline or icicles if you pick them. The lights stay ours and come back with us in January.
- Timers. Set once, and the display runs itself every night without you flipping a switch.
- A roof-safe clip system. Clips hook onto the shingle edge and the gutter lip. No nails, no staples, no holes in the fascia.
- Installation by our own crew. Not a dispatched stranger from a national call center.
- Maintenance for the whole season. Anything that stops working gets fixed, at no extra charge, on the lights we supply.
- Takedown in January. Included in the price you were quoted, not billed after the holidays.
The only things quoted separately are add-ons you ask for: wreaths, backyard or patio lighting, and anything unusual about the property.
Which package fits my house?
Two packages cover almost everyone. If yours is unusual, we design something custom at the same honest rate.
Basic Roofline
A clean, classic roofline. The look most people picture.
$400–$800
Most homes
- C9 LED lights along your roofline
- Timers, so the lights come on and go off by themselves
- Roof-safe clip system: no nails, no staples, no holes
- Professional installation and removal
- All-season maintenance: a bulb goes out, we come back
Premium Full Front
The whole front of the house, lit as one design.
$1,000–$2,500
Most homes
- Everything in Basic Roofline
- Roofline plus the entry and the garage
- Trees and bushes wrapped
- Pathway and railing lights
- Custom color options: warm white, multicolor, or your own mix
- Wreath available as an add-on

Will the lights damage my roof?
No. We use a clip system, and clips are the whole reason we can say that. Each clip hooks over the edge of a shingle or onto the lip of the gutter and holds the strand in place. Nothing is driven into the wood, the tile or the fascia.
That matters more in Orange County than people expect. Plenty of homes here have tile roofs, stucco returns and gutters that are easy to bend. A staple gun is fast and leaves damage you find in April. Clips take longer to place and leave nothing behind.
Same answer for trees and palms: we wrap, we do not screw anything into the trunk.
Entry columns wrapped in warm white, lit at dusk.
How much does it cost?
Rooflines are priced by the foot: $9.50/ft with our C9 lights; $6.50/ft with yours, without track. Roofline only runs about $400–$800 for most homes. A full front (roofline, entry, garage, wrapped trees and bushes, pathway lights) runs about $1,000–$2,500. When we supply the lights, installation, season-long maintenance and January takedown are included. Customer-owned lights include installation and January takedown, without season-long maintenance.
Where your home lands depends mostly on how much roofline there is, then on the trees, palms and other extras you want lit. Those are priced per piece from your photos.

Who does the work?
Angel Rubio owns the company and runs the crew out of Laguna Hills. It is the same team behind Forever Young Landscape, which has been doing outdoor work across South Orange County for years. Lights started in 2022 and have run every season since.
That is the honest version of "local." Nobody here is dispatched from out of state, and the person who quotes your house is the person responsible for it.
Where do you work?
Every city in Orange County. Maintenance is part of the package on all of them.
What if you are not after the whole package?
Lights you already own. Customer-owned roofline lights: $6.50 per linear foot, without track. Installation and January takedown are included; season-long maintenance is not.
Takedown only. If someone else hung your display and you want it taken down in January, that runs about $200. It is approximate, not a fixed price. If another lighting company supplied the lights they stay with us; if they are homeowner-owned they go back to you. More on how takedown works.
When should I book?
Bookings open in September. Installs run early October to Christmas, and takedown happens in early January. The week before Thanksgiving is the busiest stretch of the whole season, because that is when most people want their lights already on.
The practical answer: book as soon as you know you want it. A quote costs nothing and a deposit holds your date. We take new jobs through Christmas, subject to available dates, so text us and we will tell you what is actually still open.
Read before you book

Rain, wind and Santa Anas
Why we stop working on a wet roof, what wind does to a display, and how reschedules work.

What happens in January, why the lights stay ours, and why that makes next season one text.
Commercial lighting
Storefronts, small office buildings and HOA common areas: how a commercial job differs from a house.
Lights on a stucco house
Why we never glue anything to stucco, and how the lights hang on a stucco wall instead.
Christmas lights on palm trees
How we wrap a palm, what a candy-cane palm looks like lit, and how a palm gets quoted.
Should I Light the Hedges as Well as the Roofline?

What a Christmas light quote includes
What to send us, what comes back, and what the price covers, from your photos to the January takedown.
Christmas light colors
The colors we can put on your roofline, trees and bushes, which ones are special order, and how to ask for a mix.
Plugging in from the garage
If your outlet is inside the garage: what to tell us before a quote, and what is included with our lights.
Renting our lights
Our lights are rented to you for the season: what that includes, and the price if you would rather use your own.
Permanent lights you bought
Already own a permanent roofline kit, like Govee? Why the exact model matters, track or no track, and what to send us.
Wrapping front-yard trees
Trunk and main branches or the whole canopy: what we use on trees, adding one tree to a roofline, and what to send.
How long install takes
A few hours for a roofline, longer for a bigger display: arrival times, being out on install day, the timer, and the takedown.
Icicle lights
Warm white or pure white icicles in place of the C9 bulbs: how they look, how they are priced, what comes with them, and hanging your own.
Pillars and columns
No glue on the stone: how a strap at the top and bottom holds the lights, wrapped pillars or clean edge lines, and how each pillar is priced.
Walkway stake lights
Usually in the lawn or planting bed beside the walk, not on the stone: where stake lights go, how many a walk takes, and how a walkway is priced.
Repairs and replacement bulbs
Yes, with the lights we supply: what season-long maintenance covers, real examples from past seasons, and what changes when the lights are your own.
Common questions
How does pricing work?
Rooflines are priced by the foot: $9.50/ft with our C9 lights; $6.50/ft with yours, without track. Trees, palms and other extras are priced per piece from your photos. Most single-family homes start around $400–$800 for roofline only, or $1,000–$2,500 for a full front display. We give you a free quote after a quick call or a photo review.
There is no charge for the quote and no deposit to look at your house.
Do you provide the lights?
Yes. We provide all the professional-grade LED lights (C9 bulbs on the roofline, or icicles if you pick them), timers, extension cords, clips, and hardware. The lights stay our property: we maintain them through the season and take them back in January, so there's nothing for you to store.
That means you never buy a strand, never test a strand, and never find a tangled box in the garage in November.
When can you install?
We install from early October through Christmas, starting as soon as you book. The calendar fills in the order people say yes, and the days right before Thanksgiving go first.
If you want a specific date, tell us the date when you ask for the quote and we will hold it once your deposit is received, if it is still open.
What if a bulb goes out during the season?
Text or call us and we come back out. Maintenance is included in every package, so a dead bulb or a dark section costs you nothing and you never touch a ladder. It covers the lights we supply, not lights you already owned that we hang for you.
Tell us which part of the house is out and we can usually bring the right part on the first trip.
Do you remove the lights after the holidays?
Yes. Removal is included in every package. We take everything down in early January. Our lights come back with us; if they're your own lights, they stay with you.
Next year is one text. Nothing to haul down and nothing to throw away.
