A Home That Glows From the Street
Commercial grade lights, crisp roofline trim and trees wrapped trunk to canopy. Designed, installed, maintained and removed by our team.
Exterior Holiday Lighting
Great exterior lighting follows the lines of the home. We plan every run so rooflines read cleanly, entries feel welcoming and the landscape glows at night.
Commercial grade lights are about three times brighter than standard store bought strands, so your home looks beautiful from the street and from inside.
- Roofline and gable trim with evenly spaced commercial grade bulbs
- Tree, palm and hedge wrapping, from trunk to canopy
- Lit wreaths and garland for entries, gates and columns
- Electrical planned and run neatly and safely, with timers
- Permanent lighting option that stays up and changes with every holiday
Lighting Without the Ladders
Most exterior installs are finished in one day, with larger estates scheduled over several.
Walkthrough
We review your rooflines, trees and power at dusk so we can see how the home reads at night.
Lighting Plan
You approve a plan for trim, wrapping, wreaths and color temperature before we install.
Install
Our crew installs every strand and clip, runs the electrical and sets timers.
Season Care
If a section goes dark we come back and fix it. After the season we take it all down.
What Is Included
Seasonal lighting is leased and fully managed, so there is nothing to buy, untangle or store.
Leased Commercial Lights
Warm white or custom color, with clips and hardware suited to your roof.
Installation and Electrical
Clean runs, safe connections and timers, installed by our crew.
Maintenance All Season
On call service if a strand dims or a section goes dark.
Takedown and Storage
After the season we take everything down, pack it with care and store it off site. Nothing goes in your garage.
Every GC Design Decor engagement is designed for the individual home and quoted privately after a consultation. Larger estates, full tree wrapping and permanent lighting are custom designed.

Exterior Holiday Lighting FAQ
How much does professional exterior Christmas lighting cost?
Every GC Design Decor engagement is designed for the individual home and quoted privately after a consultation. Full estates, tree wrapping and permanent lighting are priced with a free custom quote based on roofline length, trees and power.
What makes commercial grade holiday lights different?
Commercial grade lights are about three times brighter than standard store bought strands, use sturdier wiring and hold their color. The result reads clean and even from the street.
Do you wrap trees and palms with lights?
Yes. We wrap trunks and canopies of olive trees, palms, oaks and hedges, which is one of the most striking ways to light a large property.
Do you offer permanent holiday lighting?
Yes. Permanent lighting stays up all year, is nearly invisible by day and can change colors for every holiday. It is priced with a free custom quote.
Do you take the lights down after the holidays?
Yes. Takedown is included. We remove every strand and clip and store the lights off site until next season.
When should I book exterior lighting?
Book 6 to 8 weeks ahead. Lighting is often installed in early November so it is ready to turn on after Thanksgiving.
