Christmas lights up by November. Down by January. Stored until next year.
Full-service Christmas light installation across Barrie, Innisfil, Orillia, Oro-Medonte and the rest of Simcoe County. We design the look, hang the lights, fix them mid-season if a strand goes out, take them down in January, and store your set in our shop until next November.
What we hang
A real install is not one strand along the front gutter. Most of our jobs cover the front roofline and gables, pillars and porch railings wrapped properly, the ornamental trees in the front yard, bushes and shrubs along the walk, and door wreath lighting or window candles when you want them. The 60-foot pine in the back forty does not get lit. Anything you can see from the road does.
All commercial-grade LED strands, not the box you forgot in the garage two winters ago. They stay bright through January without fading, do not burn out one bulb at a time, and tolerate the kind of January we get up here. You pick the colour. Warm white is the most-requested across Oro-Medonte and Horseshoe Valley. The Barrie and Innisfil subdivisions tend to lean multicolour. There is no wrong answer.
Pricing, in plain English
We always send a real number before we start, but here is roughly where most of our Simcoe County installs land. The price covers lights, install, mid-season service, takedown, and storage in our shop. You are not buying the lights. You are paying for the full season.
- Bungalow or small home, front roofline and a few bushes: $400 to $600.
- Two-storey with front roofline, pillars wrapped, and one tree: $650 to $900. Most subdivision homes in Barrie, Innisfil, and Orillia land here.
- Larger homes with multiple rooflines, several trees, and porch wraps: $900 to $1,400.
- Estate properties: Horseshoe Valley, Oro-Medonte rural, lakefront homes with full architectural lighting get quoted after a quick site visit.
No rural travel charge anywhere in Simcoe County. Whether you are downtown Barrie, on a back road in Tay, or out by Friday Harbour, the drive is on us.
When to book
The booking window opens in September. We start hanging the first weekend of November and run through the first week of December.
By the third weekend of November weekend slots are usually gone. Oro-Medonte and the Horseshoe Valley area book a little quicker because the roofs are bigger and the jobs take longer. If you want your lights up before American Thanksgiving so the in-laws see them when they drive up for the weekend, get on the calendar by mid-October.
We do rush installs through December, but the calendar gets thin once the first real storm hits and the ladders need to come down for the day. The longer you wait, the harder it is to find a clear morning.
Cities and townships we cover
We work everywhere in Simcoe County and up into the Muskoka cottage country. If your town is not on the list, we still come out. Local pages with neighbourhood details are being added one at a time.
Common questions
When should I book a Christmas light installation in Simcoe County?
The booking window opens in September. We start hanging the first weekend of November and run through the first week of December. By the third weekend of November weekend slots fill up, and Oro-Medonte and Horseshoe Valley book faster because the roofs are bigger. If you want your lights up before American Thanksgiving so the relatives see them when they drive up, get on the calendar by mid-October.
What is actually included when you install our lights?
Five things: design walkthrough at the property before we hang anything, the install itself, mid-season service if a strand fails in December, takedown in early January, and labelled storage in our shop until next November. You do not climb a ladder, you do not store a tangled box of lights through July, and if a bulb goes out we are the ones who come fix it.
Are you using my lights or yours?
Ours. Commercial-grade LED strands rated for a real Simcoe County winter. You are not buying lights, you are paying for the install for the season. Most customers come back year after year and the same labelled lights go right back up on the same house, which is why we strongly suggest booking before the calendar fills up.
How much does Christmas light installation cost?
A typical bungalow with front roofline and a few bushes runs $400 to $600. A two-storey with the front roofline, pillars wrapped, and one ornamental tree runs $650 to $900. Larger homes with multiple rooflines, several trees, and porch wraps run $900 to $1,400 and up. Estate properties in Horseshoe Valley, Oro-Medonte rural, or lakefront get quoted after a site visit. The price covers lights, install, mid-season service, takedown, and storage.
Do you cover Oro-Medonte and the cottage country?
Yes. Our base is in Horseshoe Valley, which puts us right in the middle of Oro-Medonte. We cover the whole township at the same rate as Barrie. We also go up into Muskoka for Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, and Huntsville installs, though those slots fill earlier because the booking window is shorter and the drive is longer.
What happens if a strand burns out in mid-December?
We come fix it, no charge. Commercial LED strands are good but a bulb still goes here and there, especially after a heavy ice storm. Text us, we will swing by within a day or two depending on the weather. Most fixes take fifteen minutes.
Do you take the lights down too, or am I doing that?
We take them down. Usually first or second week of January, before the deep cold settles in and the ladders get dangerous. You do not need to be home for takedown. We box and label everything and put it in our shop so next November we can grab your set and go.
