South Orange County
Christmas light installation in Orange County
We design it, hang it, keep it working all season, and take it down in January. You do not get on a ladder and you do not store anything.
Now booking the 2026 season — installs run October 15 through December 10.
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 colour, 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 C9 LED. 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.
-
Remove
In early January we take it all down, pack it, and store it. Next season you send one text.
What is included in every job?
- The lights themselves. Commercial-grade C9 LED strands, cut and built to your roofline. You never buy a strand and you never store one.
- 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 centre.
- Maintenance for the whole season. Anything that stops working gets fixed, at no extra charge.
- Takedown and storage 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, sized to the house
- 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 colour options — warm white, multicolour, 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, daytime — you can see the wrap and the clips.
How much does it cost?
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. Both numbers include the lights, the install, the season's maintenance, and the takedown.
Where your home lands inside a range depends on how much roofline there is, how many stories, how many trees you want wrapped, and how detailed the design is. We do not charge by the foot, and we explain why on the cost page.

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?
Thirteen cities in South Orange County. If you are close to the edge of that list, ask anyway.
When should I book?
Bookings open in September. Installs run October 15 to about December 10, 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. It costs nothing, it does not lock you into a package, and it holds a date. The last day we can take a new job is usually mid-November — text us and we will tell you what is actually still open.
Read before you book
Short, plain guides to the things people ask us on the phone.
Christmas light cost per foot
Why nobody in Orange County can honestly quote you a per-foot price, and what we use instead.
When to book
How the season actually fills up, which weeks go first, and what booking early really buys you.
C9 vs mini lights vs permanent
Three very different looks. What each one is good at, and which houses suit which.
Timers and roof-safe clips
The two boring parts of a display that decide whether it looks good and whether your roof survives.
HOA lighting rules
What Orange County boards usually care about, and how to get a display approved without a fight.
Rain, wind and Santa Anas
Why we stop working on a wet roof, what wind does to a display, and how reschedules work.
Takedown and storage
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.
Common questions
How does pricing work?
Pricing depends on the size of your home, the areas you want lit, and how complex the design is. 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 professional-grade C9 LED lights, timers, extension cords, clips, and hardware. The lights stay our property — we maintain them through the season and store them for you year after year.
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 October 15 through about December 10. 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 if it is 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.
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, pack it up, and store it until next season.
Next year is one text. Nothing to haul down, nothing to store, nothing to throw away.
