Del Paso Manor Christmas Light Installation

Home › Neighborhoods › Del Paso Manor

Del Paso Manor is mostly single-story mid-century ranch houses, and for Christmas lights that’s the best news a homeowner can get. A one-story roof is the simplest job in the trade: low eaves, long straight runs, no dizzy peak to negotiate with. Del Paso Manor Christmas light installation is quick, clean work for Sac Xmas Light Installation, and we’re Arden-Arcade people ourselves, based over by Bell Street.

A ranch house is easy to light well

Easy doesn’t mean sloppy. A long low eave shows every sag, so the line has to be straight from one corner to the other. We hang roofline lights on clips that grip the gutter or tuck under the shingle edge. No staples go into the fascia and no nails go anywhere. If the house has a front-facing gable over the garage or the entry, we outline that too, because it’s the one piece of height a ranch has.

You may be wondering whether one story means you could just do it yourself. Sure, you could. You’d also be buying the lights, testing them, finding the ladder, and doing it all again backwards in January. We bring the lights, so that whole list goes away after one call to (916) 586-7193.

Porches, shade trees and big front yards

Covered front porches are a Del Paso Manor signature, and they’re a gift for decorating. Porch posts take pillar wraps. The beam across the front takes lit garland. The door takes a lit wreath. All of it sits under cover, out of the rain, tied and hooked instead of screwed in.

The streets are tree-lined and the shade trees are mature, which makes tree wraps worth a conversation. A thick trunk near the street, wrapped up to where the limbs start, improves the view from the street more than a second layer of anything on the roof. Tell us which tree you have in mind and roughly how big it is.

Lots here are on the larger side, so the walk from the curb to the porch can be a long one. Stake lighting along that path, or down the driveway edge, fills the gap between the street and the house. We place stakes where the sprinklers aren’t.

We found no HOA here

And we did search. Nothing turned up for Del Paso Manor, and Arden-Arcade is unincorporated county land with no city hall setting decoration rules either. So nobody is dictating dates. If your particular court does have an association we missed, tell us what it requires and we’ll work to it. Otherwise the lights go up when you say and come down when you say.

How Del Paso Manor Christmas light installation works

You phone (916) 586-7193. We ask about the roof, the porch, the trees and which wall the outdoor outlets are on. If you’d rather show than tell, text or email a couple of photos taken from the street. You get your quote without anyone visiting. Or put your details into the contact page and we’ll phone you.

On install day we hang everything and set a timer, so the display turns itself on at dusk and quits at bedtime. A dead section in mid-December gets repaired after one phone call from you. In January the crew returns, unclips every strand and takes it away. Your roof is bare again before the month is out.

Cul-de-sacs and winding streets

The neighborhood is laid out in winding streets and cul-de-sacs instead of a grid. On a cul-de-sac every house faces the same circle, so the one dark house is hard to miss. Simple house, simple call: (916) 586-7193.

We’re on Watt Avenue all season, by the Arden-Arcade Farmers’ Market and around Del Paso Manor Elementary, heading to jobs in Arden Park and among the older houses of Woodlake. The full rundown of what we hang is on the main installation page, and the rest of our Sacramento service area has a page of its own.

Straight answers for Del Paso Manor

Does any association in Del Paso Manor set Christmas light dates?

We couldn’t find one. The neighborhood is in unincorporated Arden-Arcade, and no association appears to set display dates. If your court has its own, tell us and we’ll follow it.

It’s only a one-story house. Why pay someone to do it?

That’s your call. What you skip is buying and testing lights, the ladder work, the January takedown and a year of storage.

Does Del Paso Manor Christmas light installation include the covered porch?

Yes. Posts get wrapped, the beam gets lit garland and the door gets a lit wreath, all tied or hooked in place with nothing screwed into the wood.

Will you wrap the big shade tree by the street?

Usually. We wrap the trunk up to where the main limbs begin, and we’ll tell you on the phone if a tree is too large to do properly.
