Citrus Heights Christmas Light Installation

Arcade Creek runs through Citrus Heights and keeps going west through Arden-Arcade, not far from our shop on Bell Street, so in a sense we’re already neighbors. Mostly that means a short drive. If you’ve been putting off Citrus Heights Christmas light installation because the ladder in your garage looks a little sketchier every year, call (916) 586-7193. The quote happens on the phone, and nobody will pester you afterward while you think it over.

Citrus Heights Christmas light installation along Arcade Creek

The streets along Arcade Creek are the closest part of the city to us, and they have a wooded, park-like feel, with mature trees over a lot of the yards. That changes the plan. A big front-yard tree is the best thing on the lot for a trunk wrap, but if its branches hang over the gutter, we route the roofline lights around the canopy instead of stuffing them into leaves where nobody can see them.

When a big oak sits right over the gutter, we can almost always work around it. We end the roofline run where the limb starts, wrap the trunk instead, and the house still reads as finished from the street.

Park Oaks, Sylvan Road and Mariposa Avenue

In Park Oaks and off Sylvan Road the houses are mostly established single-story homes, and the Park Oaks front yards have some of the thickest trunks in town. Single-story is the easiest roofline we do. It goes up fast and looks tidy, and since it doesn’t eat the whole visit, there’s time left for extras like a lit wreath on the garage or garland on the porch rail.

Along Mariposa Avenue and the side streets off it, the lots run a little deeper, and a lot of front walks are long enough that stakes along the edge make a real difference after dark. Families on some of those blocks decorate hard. You don’t have to match anybody. We’ll just make sure your house isn’t the one that lost a fight with an extension cord.

Up north, the blocks of Sunrise Ranch and the older streets near Rusch Park bring more of the same good news: single-story roofs, settled yards and one tree worth wrapping on most lots.

Birdcage Heights and the shops along Greenback Lane

Out east, Birdcage Heights sits around the Sunrise Mall side of town, and its houses are regular suburban lots where a roofline and two porch pillars usually cover it. Commercial work comes up over there too, mostly storefronts along Greenback Lane and Sunrise Boulevard, plus a church entry now and then. The ask is usually simple: lit windows, a lit entry, something that tells people you’re open. Businesses care about timing more than homeowners do, since a storefront wants the lights up before the shopping rush and down before anybody asks why it still looks like December. We schedule around that.

How we actually hang it

Roofline lights ride on plastic clips that tuck beneath each shingle or catch the gutter lip, and on tile we use tile clips that grip without cracking anything. Tree wraps go around the trunk and the main limbs, spaced evenly so the tree’s shape shows after dark. Pillar wraps spiral up porch columns. Stakes go along walks and driveways, and we mark sprinkler heads first so nothing gets speared. We check your outdoor outlets, figure out which ones share a circuit, and put everything on a timer that runs every evening without you.

If you already own a stash of lights, keep them for the inside of the house or give them away. Ours go up outside, and ours come down in January, every clip, so the eaves are empty again well before Valentine’s Day, and none of it lands on your garage shelves. If a strand dies halfway through December, you call and we come swap it. You don’t go hunting at the hardware store for a match. Our residential Christmas light installation page lays out the whole process if you want the long version.

Getting a number

You call, tell us roughly what the place looks like and which parts you want lit, get a number, and land on the calendar. A couple of phone photos of the front of the house speed that up. We work Roseville and Orangevale during the season too, so Citrus Heights sits in the middle of our route. Call (916) 586-7193, or send the photos and your address through our contact page. A quick question about your roof is fine too; (916) 586-7193 is the same number.
