Professional Christmas light hanging in NJ isn't just "someone else climbs the ladder." A real service is design, install, upkeep through the season, and takedown. Here's what that looks like when we do it in Ocean County and around the shore.
What's included
- Design walk: we look at the house from the street and decide what to light — roofline, peaks, columns, railings, wreaths, trees and shrubs.
- Install: commercial-grade C9 or mini LEDs, clipped properly to shingle edge or gutter, never stapled or nailed into your fascia. Runs measured and cut to your roof so there's no bunching.
- Power management: timers set, cords routed and hidden, circuits balanced so you're not tripping a breaker every cold night.
- Season support: a bulb section goes out or a nor'easter knocks a run loose, we come fix it.
- Takedown and storage: everything comes down in January, packed and labeled by run.
When to book
Calls start in September and the good install weeks in November go first. If you want lights up right after Thanksgiving, get on a calendar by early October. We install through the fall on mild days and schedule the "turn on" for whenever you want.
Where we work
Toms River, Brick, Jackson, Manchester, Lakewood, Point Pleasant, Bayville, Barnegat, Manahawkin, Forked River, Waretown, Lacey, Beachwood, Seaside and the surrounding Ocean County towns — plus the wider New Jersey and tri-state area for larger properties.
Shore homes need a little extra
If you're near the water, wind is the enemy. Runs need tighter clip spacing, connections need to be up off the gutter line where water pools, and anything on a railing or column needs to be secured at more points than a typical inland install. We build for that.
One thing to consider first
If this is your third or fourth year paying for a seasonal hang, ask us about permanent lighting instead. Here's the honest cost comparison — sometimes it's the better call, and we'll tell you when it isn't.
