Citrus Heights Christmas Light Installation

The first thing we usually do on a Citrus Heights roof is pull out somebody else’s old nails. A lot of these houses have been around long enough to collect a few decades of Christmas hardware in the fascia: bent nails, rusty cup hooks, a staple gun’s worth of history. We clear that out, then do Citrus Heights Christmas light installation the right way, with clips that leave nothing behind. We’re brothers, we run the crew out of Folsom, and we’re already driving through town on the way to half our jobs. Call (916) 659-6549 and we’ll price yours out over the phone.

Birdcage Heights, the neighborhood tucked in behind the Sunrise Mall and Birdcage shopping area, is mostly regular suburban lots, and a lot of the jobs here are single-story houses. That’s good news for you. A single-story roofline can often be done from a short ladder, and it goes quick. We’ll usually add stakes up the front walk and a wreath at the front door and call it a morning.

Sunrise Ranch, up in the northeast corner around Twin Oaks Avenue, has a lot of established trees and deeper front yards. We’ll often pair a simple white roofline with a couple of wrapped trunks out front. Keep it simple and it looks sharp from the street. You don’t need every square inch lit.

Just west of there, the Sylvan Old Auburn Road area (the neighbors call it SOAR) sits close to the Arcade Creek trail and the Sylvan Community Center. Older houses, mature landscaping, and more than a few front porches with posts that practically beg for a column wrap.

Park Oaks is a quiet, tree-lined pocket with parks close by, and it’s a good example of why we ask about outlets on the first call. Older homes often have one exterior plug, and it’s never where you’d want it. We plan the power run before we climb, so the lights on the far end of the house don’t need a cord snaking across the lawn.

Rusch Park, in the central northwest part of the city, is named for the big park in the middle of it. Lots of families, lots of kids who will absolutely tell you when a strand is out. Arcade Creek, down in the southwest, follows the creek corridor, and the bigger trees back there make for great wraps.

Roofline

Every edge you want outlined, including the little gable over the garage. Clips on the gutter lip or under the shingle edge. Straight lines, even spacing, no sag between clips.

Trees

We wrap trunks and main branches. Deciduous trees with a clear trunk wrap best. Big evergreens usually look better with the lower trunk wrapped and the canopy left alone.

Pillars and columns

Tight, even spirals on porch posts and entry columns. It’s a small touch that makes a front porch look finished. We match the spacing on every column so one doesn’t look like it was done by a different guy after lunch.

Stakes

Walkways, driveways, lawn edges. We check for sprinkler heads and irrigation lines before a single stake goes in. More detail on our stake lighting page.

Wreaths and garland

Lit wreaths on the door, the garage, or a gable. Lit garland on the entry, railings, archways and banisters.

We bring all of it, and we test it before it goes up. A timer handles dusk to bedtime, so nobody in the house has to remember.

Can you work while I’m at the office?

Most of our Citrus Heights installs happen that way. An outdoor plug we can reach and a side gate that opens are all we need, and we’ll let you know when we wrap up.

What happens if a strand goes out?

Call (916) 659-6549. One of us comes back out and fixes it.

How long do the lights stay up?

Through the holidays, then we pull them in January. We take everything down and haul it off, so nothing’s left clipped to your gutters in April and you never have to store a single bin.

Warm white or colored?

Your call. Warm white looks classic on the older ranch-style houses around here. Multicolor is more fun and the kids usually vote for it. Some folks split it: white on the roofline, color on the trees. We’ll tell you what we think if you ask, but it’s your house.

Do you light businesses?

Yes. Storefronts, offices, restaurants and churches along Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane get the same crew and the same clips.

Citrus Heights sits right between our jobs in Orangevale, Fair Oaks and Roseville, so we’re through town almost every day in November and December. Fixes are easy to fit in because one of us is usually nearby. To get on the schedule, call (916) 659-6549 or fill out the contact page.
