Holiday light install in Sacramento runs October through January.

The picks below are commercial-grade — same quality you see on neighborhood show homes.

Why Pro Install in Sacramento

Pro install solves three problems homeowners hit: (1) ladder safety on multi-story or steep-roof homes, (2) clip selection that doesn't damage gutters/shingles, (3) weatherproof outdoor power that won't trip GFCIs in California marine air.

tract homes from the 70s-90s often have undersized service panels. We bring scaffolding for two-story installs in Sacramento County, use commercial-grade C9 LED bulbs that last 15+ seasons, and tear down + store everything in labeled bins for next year.

Light Type — C9 vs C7 vs Mini

C9 (large bulb): traditional roof-line look. The picks below are LED C9 — same look as incandescent but 90% less power, 15+ year life. Premium pick for clean rooflines.

C7 (medium bulb): smaller, more refined. Best for trim work and wreaths.

Mini lights: cluster look. Best for trees and shrubs. Skip for rooflines (too small to read from street).

Tree Wraps and Yard Features

Wrapping trees adds 30-50% to a quote because each tree is 1-2 hours of careful spiral wrap. We use commercial-grade light strands rated for outdoor moisture. For shrubs, net lights are 10x faster than wrapping individually.
