See your own house in lights.Before you spend a dollar.
Put your address in and we will build you a picture of your actual house with the lights on, in about a minute. Then, if you like it, we hang them in November, fix them if a strand goes in December, take them down in January and store them until next year.
Weekend slots usually go by the third weekend of November, and the bigger roofs in Oro-Medonte and Horseshoe Valley fill first. If you want them lit before the relatives drive up, get on the calendar by mid-October.

What we actually 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.
Six things, one price
We come to the property before anything gets hung and agree on the look with you standing there, not over email.
Commercial-grade LED strands, our lights, clipped properly. You never touch a ladder.
They come on at dusk and go off at the hour you pick, set on install day. Nobody is out at the front door plugging things in on a cold night.
A bulb goes in December, a clip lets go in a wind storm - we come back and fix it, no callout charge.
Usually the first or second week, before the deep cold makes ladders dangerous. You do not need to be home.
Your set is boxed, labelled and kept in our shop until next November. No tangled box in your garage all July.
If a strand goes out, that is our problem
A bulb fails in the second week of December, or a clip lets go in a wind storm, and the whole display looks half-finished from the road. Call us and we come back and fix it. It is already in the price rather than a callout charge, because a season of lights is what you paid for, not an afternoon of hanging them.
What it costs
Every price below covers the lights, the install, mid-season service, takedown and storage. There is no rural travel fee anywhere in Simcoe County.
Front roofline and a few bushes. The most common job in the Barrie and Innisfil subdivisions.
Front roofline, pillars wrapped properly, and one ornamental tree.
Multiple rooflines, several trees, porch wraps. Common in Oro-Medonte and Horseshoe Valley.
Horseshoe Valley, Oro-Medonte rural and lakefront properties get quoted in person.

Working with us is this simple
Get your mockup
Put your address in at the top of this page. We send back a picture of your actual house with the lights on, usually within the hour. No visit, no obligation, no card.
We book the date
Say yes and we put you on the calendar. Installs run through November, and the weekend slots go first, so the earlier you are on it the more choice you have.
Forget about it
We hang them, set the timer, and come back if a strand goes. Down in January, stored until next year. You do not get the ladder out once.
Questions people actually ask
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.
How does the mockup of my house work?
We find a public street-level photo of your address and use it to build a picture of your own house with lights on it, so you can see the look before you commit to anything. It takes about a minute. It is a mockup rather than a quote, and if we cannot get a clear view of your place from the street we will just say so and quote it the normal way.
