New for 2026 · Holiday lighting

This season, reach for the Top Shelf.

Commercial-grade C9s, custom-cut to your roofline: designed, hung, maintained, taken down, and stored. You never touch a ladder.

The install calendar caps before Thanksgiving. Early spots go first.

Commercial-grade C9 LEDs

Brighter and tougher than store strands, built for salt air, sealed against corrosion.

Cut to the inch

Runs sized exactly to your roofline, every bulb clipped down for coastal wind.

48-hour fix guarantee

If anything goes dark this season, we repair it within two days. No charge.

Takedown + storage included

Down by January 31, inspected, and stored in our shop until next year.

How it works

From quote to glowing in four steps

1

Free quote

We measure your roofline (often while we're already there washing) and send a firm price. Ten minutes, no pressure.

2

Shop pre-build

Your runs are cut, bulbed, and bench-tested before we ever climb a ladder. A 50% deposit locks your install date.

3

Lit by Thanksgiving

Clean install, timers set dusk to 11 PM, and photos texted to you if you're out of town.

4

January takedown

We remove, inspect, and store everything. Next season, relighting your house is one text away.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I own the lights?

No, and that's the point. We own, custom-cut, and store commercial-grade materials made to fit your house exactly. You pay for the display each season and never deal with tangled bins in July.

What if a section goes dark?

Text us. We repair any outage within 48 hours at no charge, all season long.

When do the lights come down?

Between January 2 and January 31, weather permitting. You don't need to be home for install or takedown.

Can you bundle this with a wash?

Yes. We can measure for lights during any fall wash visit, and existing customers get priority on the install calendar.

Do you light businesses and commercial properties?

Yes: storefronts, restaurants, rental offices, and community entrances. Commercial displays are quoted per property; call for a site visit.

What areas do you serve?

The entire Outer Banks: Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, Manteo, Wanchese, and Hatteras Island.

Ready to skip the ladder this year?

Call or text and we'll get you on the calendar. Installs run mid-October through Thanksgiving week.
