Residential Holiday Lighting in Omaha, NE

What we light on a house

Roofline and gables

The main run, and the one that reads from the street. We follow every eave and gable rather than stopping at the easy ones, because a half-lit roof is what makes a house look unfinished.

Trees and shrubs

Trunk wraps, canopy lights or net over the beds. A lit tree beside a lit roof is what gives the front of the house depth instead of a single bright outline.

Columns and railings

Wrapped porch columns and railing runs pull the light down to the ground so the entrance reads at night, not only the roof three storeys up.

Garland and wreaths

Lit garland over the door and on the rails, and wreaths sized to the window or the gable they hang in. Hung by us and taken down by us.

Walkways and drives

Low stake lighting along the walk and the drive. The cheapest part of most quotes and the part people notice when they pull in.

Colour chosen once

Warm white, pure white, or red and green. We set it at the quote and keep the bulbs on file, so next season matches rather than approximates.

Residential questions

How much does a typical house cost?

Most single family homes in the metro land in a range set by roof length, storey count and how much tree work is included. We will not quote a number before measuring, because a steep two storey with four gables and a ranch of the same square footage are not the same job.

Can you match what I already own?

Sometimes. Bring us what you have and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth hanging. Old incandescent strands draw far more power and fail more often, and mixing them with LED on one run is visible from the street.

What about power?

We plan the runs around the outlets you have and tell you at quote if a circuit will not carry it. LED draws a fraction of what the old bulbs did, so this is rarely the problem it used to be.

Do you work on steep or three storey roofs?

Yes, within reason. Our crews are insured for the heights they work at, and if a section is genuinely unsafe to reach we will say so and show you what it costs to light it a different way.

Will it be up before Thanksgiving?

If you book by early October, yes. We install from late October so that everything is lit before the last week of November for the clients who want it then.
