Christmas light installation for Rosemont, the ranch-house neighborhood off Highway 50 east of Sacramento.
Ranch homes from the 1950s on
Rosemont was subdivided starting around 1950, when the land that became Rancho Rinconada and Manlove Estates was first mapped. Most of the housing dates from the 1950s through the 1990s. South Rosemont, between Folsom Boulevard and Jackson Highway, has mid-century ranch homes on tree-lined side streets. The commercial strip runs along Kiefer Boulevard, with Mayhew Road and Bradshaw Road as the other main streets. Lots are modest, rooflines are single-story and low-pitched, and composition shingle is the common roof.
A straight roofline and a big tree
A Rosemont ranch is one of the simplest rooflines to light. C9 LED bulbs on commercial-grade line clip to the gutter lip along the front, across the garage and down both side returns. The line is cut to each run so it sits straight. One exterior outlet and a timer at the plug run it. Where a gutter is missing, the clip goes on the shingle edge instead.
Front-yard trees in Rosemont have had fifty or sixty years to grow, and on many lots the tree is the first thing visible from the street. We wrap the trunk and main limbs in a spiral with a set number of strands per foot and light the roofline behind it. Stake lights along the walk, lit shrubs under the windows, garland on the porch and a warm-white pre-lit wreath at the door are the usual additions. Multicolor and warm white are both options.
On the way from Folsom
Rosemont is about 14 miles west of Folsom on Highway 50, between Rancho Cordova and the city line. It is on the same route as Rancho Cordova and La Riviera. Quotes are free.

Common questions in Rosemont
My roof is low and I can almost reach the gutter. Why hire it out?
Hiring it out gets commercial-grade line cut to your roofline, clips that fit the gutter, a timer set up, mid-season fixes if a section fails, and a takedown in January.
Can you light a business on Kiefer Boulevard?
Yes. Storefront rooflines and parking-lot trees run on the same line with a timer set for business hours.
Will the lights trip my breaker?
LED C9 bulbs draw far less than the old incandescent C9s. A full single-story roofline runs from one standard exterior outlet.
