The Process of Custom Holiday Lighting
Custom built holiday lighting is more than hanging a few strands of lights on a roofline - it’s a full-service experience designed to bring lasting beauty and convenience. It begins with a free estimate, where a lighting professional visits your home to learn about your preferences, measure your roofline, landscaping, or trees, and create a design plan that matches your vision.
Once approved, the installation is scheduled. Each strand of lighting is cut to the exact length of your home’s features, ensuring clean lines, no dangling wires, and a perfect fit. Clips and fasteners are used to secure everything neatly and safely without damaging your home.
Throughout the season, maintenance is included. If a bulb goes out or a strand shifts due to weather, a quick call ensures a technician comes out to fix the issue - keeping your lights shining bright without stress on your end.
When the season ends, the crew returns for uninstall and takedown. Every strand is carefully removed, labeled, and packed away. To save space and protect your investment, your lights are placed in secure off-site storage, ready to be used again the following year without cluttering your garage or attic.

A Personal Note
For me, one of the best parts of this service is working side by side with the crew to bring these lighting displays to life. Creating different styles and color patterns together isn’t just work - it’s fun and creative, and I take a lot of pride in the designs we’re able to build.
There’s a moment after each installation when I stop on the sidewalk or driveway, take a step back, and look at the finished work. In that moment, I know the joy this display is going to bring to the family we just served - and that’s the most rewarding part.
Later in the season, I get to share that same joy with my own family. We’ll pile into the car and drive around town, pointing out the homes lit up with the displays we’ve created. Watching my kids light up with excitement as they recognize our work makes the effort worthwhile. It’s more than lights - it’s creating memories, sparking joy, and sharing beauty across our community.
The Joy It Brings
Holiday lighting is about more than bright colors and twinkling bulbs. It creates warmth for your family, bringing everyone together during the season. It spreads joy to your neighbors, turning streets into glowing, festive displays. For many in Treasure Valley, it becomes a tradition - a signal that the holidays are here, creating memories year after year.
There’s something magical about driving home on a winter evening and seeing your house lit up. It isn’t just decoration - it’s atmosphere, community, and cheer shared with all who pass by.
