Christmas light installation in Columbia, MO — and you never climb a thing
We're a local crew that designs your display, hangs commercial-grade lights, fixes any strand that quits, then takes it all down in January and stores it till next year. One call covers the whole season.
- Licensed and insured
- Commercial-grade LEDs included
- January takedown and storage built in
Drag the handle. That's the whole pitch.
One of our own installs — the same house bare, and the same house in December.
Lights off
Lights on
The same house, lights off and lights on — one of our own installs. Rooflines, garland, porch trees: that's our bread and butter.
What we do from October to January
One crew, one price, the whole season. Here's what that covers.
Home roofline lighting
Warm white or color along your gables, eaves, and peaks — commercial C9 LEDs custom-cut to your roofline and hung with clips, never staples. Crisp lines, no holes in the house, no ladder in your garage.
Commercial & storefront
Shops, restaurants, offices, and subdivision entrances around Columbia. We install early, set everything on timers, and keep it burning through the season so your place looks open and warm every evening.
Design & custom looks
Wreaths on the windows, garland on the rails, wrapped tree trunks, lit planters by the door. Tell us warm white, multicolor, or a mix — we'll sketch a look that fits your house instead of fighting it.
Takedown & storage
Come January we take every strand down, box it, label it by wall and gable, and store it at our place until next fall. Your attic stays exactly as cluttered as it already is — no more, no less.
Season-long fixes
Ice storm knocks a strand loose? Bulb quits the night before company comes? Call or text and we'll have it glowing again, usually within a couple of days. Repairs are part of your price, not a surprise line item.
Three steps, zero ladders
Here's the whole process, start to finish.

Where we hang lights

Looks we hang all season
Four looks from houses we actually lit. Point at one and say "that, please" — or mix and match.
These are photos of our own installs — real houses we lit, not stock images.
Why neighbors hand us the ladder work
-
Insured and careful. Real liability coverage, soft-soled shoes on your shingles, and clips instead of staples. We treat your roof like we'll be back next year — because we plan to be.
-
Commercial-grade everything. LEDs and clips built for Missouri winters — not the big-box strands that give up by the twelfth. If something quits anyway, we fix it free.
-
One price, whole season. Design, lights, install, repairs, takedown, and storage in a single number. No add-ons appearing in December.
-
We answer the phone. Call (573) 515-3555 and you get a person — or a call right back. Try it.

Real reviews land here after the 2026 seasonFair questions, straight answers
What does Christmas light installation cost in Columbia?
It depends on the feet of roofline, how many stories, and what extras you want — wreaths, garland, tree wraps. Give us the address and we'll price it from photos and measurements, then call you with one firm number that covers the lights, the install, mid-season fixes, January takedown, and storage. The quote itself is free and usually takes about a day.
Do you supply the lights, or do I buy my own?
We supply commercial-grade LEDs cut to fit your exact roofline. That's how we can promise they'll stay lit all season — we know the product because we own it, service it, and store it. We generally don't hang big-box store lights since we can't stand behind them, but ask and we'll talk it through.
When should I book for the 2026 season?
Now is honestly the right time. Installs run October through December, and the earliest bookings get first pick of install dates — the calendar tightens fast once fall hits. Booking in summer also means your design is settled long before the first cold snap.
Do you take the lights down afterward?
Yes — takedown happens in January, weather permitting, and it's included in your price. We box and label everything and store it at our place, so nothing tangles in your attic.
What happens if a bulb or a whole strand goes out?
We come fix it, and it's part of the deal — not an extra charge. Call or text and we'll usually have it glowing again within a couple of days.
Do you light businesses too?
We do — storefronts, restaurants, offices, and subdivision entrances around Columbia and Boone County. Commercial jobs can go up early in the fall on timers, so your place is glowing the moment the season kicks off.
Do you hang lights outside Columbia?
All over Boone County: Ashland, Rocheport, Hallsville, Centralia, and the rural routes in between. A reasonable drive past the county line? Call anyway — we like a good drive.
