Holiday light hanging in Monterey Park
We hang your holiday lights along porches, railings, fences, windows, trees and low eaves we can reach from a ladder, with clips instead of nails, set them on timers, and come back after the holidays to take them down.

Lighting Monterey Park homes
Census Bureau estimates show that 12,586 of Monterey Park's 22,134 housing units were built between 1940 and 1969. Many are single-story homes with low eaves, or hillside houses with front porches and railings that light up well from the street without anyone going on the roof.
Hillside lots can mean steep front yards and long cord runs, so we plan where cords go and keep them off steps and walkways.
Where these facts come from: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates, table B25034 (via Census Reporter).
How we hang them
Every string is tested on the ground first. Lights go up with clips and ties suited to stucco, wood or metal railings.
Cords plug into existing outdoor GFCI outlets with weather-rated covers and timers. If an outlet isn't protected, we tell you.
We don't climb roofs, work on gutters, or add new outlets. That keeps the job quick and safe.

Holiday lights questions
Something else? Call or text and ask.
Do you put lights on the roof?
No. We hang what's reachable from the ground or a ladder.
Can you take the lights down after the holidays?
Yes, and we pack them by area for next year.
How much does holiday light installation cost?
It depends on the size of the display. Send photos for a free estimate before anything is booked.
Do you supply the lights?
You provide them, or we tell you what to buy. We test them before hanging.
