When to book Christmas lights in Kernersville
Book as early in the fall as you can. Settling the design and the estimate in September or October sets the install date before the November rush.
Most installs happen in early to mid-November, so the lights can be on for the holidays. Hanging before the cold sets in is easier on the crew and on the roof.
Leaves are still coming down in November in the Triad, and gutters full of leaves make clipping lights harder. If your fall gutter cleaning is due, book it with the lights so both are done on the same plan.
Take-down usually comes in early January, on a dry day. Lights left up into late winter sit through ice and wind and come down harder.

Christmas light installation pricing
A single-story roofline is a different job from a two-story house with lit trees. The estimate breaks the job down along these lines.
- Length of the roofline
- The number of feet of roof edge and gutter you want lit is the biggest single part of most jobs.
- Height and pitch
- Clipping a two-story or steep roofline is slower, higher work than lining a single-story ranch.
- Trees and shrubs
- How many trees get wrapped, how tall they are, and how many shrubs are covered.
- Entry and walks
- Lighting the entry and the walks adds to the layout.
- Colors and style
- One color throughout is simpler to hang than a mix of colors or patterns.
Up in November, down in January
Outlets and clips checked
We find the outdoor outlets and check the gutter lips, so every strand has power and a clip that fits.
We hang the lights
The crew clips the rooflines, wraps the trees, covers the shrubs and sets the walk lights, then runs the cords to the outlets and checks that every strand lights.
We take them down after the holidays
In early January the crew takes everything down.
Holiday lights without the ladder
Hanging lights on a two-story roofline in November wind is the part of the holidays nobody misses. Total Lawn Care Triad hangs Christmas lights on Kernersville houses, takes them down after the season and stores them until next year. For lights that stay up all year, see low-voltage landscape lighting.
We already spend the year in Triad yards, trimming the trees, shaping the shrubs and edging the beds. That helps when it is time to light them: we know which trees take a wrap well, where the walks and beds run, and how the house reads from the street.
A good display is planned the way a landscape is. The roofline frames the house, the entry draws the eye, and one or two lit trees give it depth. More strands is not the goal; a clean, even look is.
When to book, roof clips and takedown
When should I book Christmas light installation?
As early in the fall as you can. Settling the design and the estimate in September or October sets the install date before the November rush.
Do you take the lights down after the holidays?
Yes. We take them down in early January, so you never climb the ladder in the cold.
Will the clips damage my roof or gutters?
Clips made for shingles and gutter lips hold the strands. The clips come off with the lights at take-down.
Can you put lights on my trees?
Yes. We wrap trunks and main limbs loosely so nothing binds a growing branch, and the lights come off after the season with the rest of the display.
Do you light businesses too?
This page is written for homes. If you manage a storefront or an office, call or text and tell us about the building, and we will tell you whether it fits the season's schedule.
