Two minutes, a few questions and a photo if you have one.

We design it

A free consultation and a written quote, usually back within 24 hours.

3

We install

Our own crew, our own materials. You do not buy or store a thing.

4

We look after it

Maintenance through the season, then removal and free storage until next year.

The crew that shows up on time, every time

You will know us when we arrive.

GPS tracking, branded vans, uniformed crew, ladders on top, insurance in the glovebox. The crew that lights The Grove and the Beverly Hills Hotel pulls into your driveway.

Comparison reflects what's typical for each type of provider in our experience. Individual companies vary, so ask any provider what's included before you book.

The real cost of "cheaper"

A lower quote often leaves out design, service calls or takedown, and may come with retail lights that fail mid-season. With Lights Up, one price covers the whole season, about $40 a night.

Book by October 31

$200 off + first pick of dates

Book by Thanksgiving for a complimentary wreath ($75 value).

How to take great photos
  • Stand back far enough to get the whole roofline in frame
  • Shoot in daylight, landscape orientation
  • Include the driveway and any trees you want lit
