Christmas Light Installation in Bartow, FL

Porches, turrets and trim worth tracing

On an older Bartow home, the temptation is to cover everything with Christmas lights. We usually recommend tracing the house instead. One warm line along the porch roof, the gable edges followed up to the peak and the turret outlined will show the shape of the house from the street. A focused design like this looks more polished at night, and it usually costs less than a crowded one.

Color matters more on these homes as well. Warm white suits older architecture and lets the trim stand out, while cool white can make an old facade look flat and harsh. If you want color, we suggest keeping the house warm white and adding color in a wreath, some garland or the trees.

Older homes also need a gentler hand. We never drive fasteners into original fascia. We choose clips and hardware for the surface they attach to, and everything comes off clean when the season ends.

Working under Bartow’s oaks

Large oaks can hide a roofline from the street, so the first thing we look at is where your house is actually seen from. When the canopy blocks the roof, we often light the trees instead. We wrap the trunks, outline some of the limbs and light the porch, so warm light comes down through the branches onto the front of the house. It is a classic look that suits an established street.

Victorian detail, and what it costs

Christmas lighting starts at $799. Most homes land between $1,500 and $3,000 for the full season. Larger or multi-story properties run $2,500 to $5,000, and full estate-scale displays go above that. Every quote is custom because the price follows your property: the roofline length, the number of stories, the peaks and dormers, and any trees, wreaths, garland or ground-level accents you want included.

What a Bartow job includes

• Commercial-grade LED lights, cut and built for your house
• Clips, timers and hardware, all supplied by us
• A local crew that is licensed and insured
• Free repairs all season if a section fails or the weather causes damage
• Removal after New Year’s, with the lights stored in our warehouse until next season

You have nothing to buy, nothing to store and nothing to replace next October.

Permanent lighting on a hundred-year-old house

Some homeowners would rather skip the yearly install altogether. For them we offer permanent outdoor lighting, a low-profile track mounted under the eave and color matched to the trim, so it is hard to see in daylight. You choose colors and schedules from your phone, so you can run warm white through December and a soft white on an ordinary evening in February.

On an older home, permanent lighting keeps the eave and gable lines outlined all year, which suits a house whose shape is its best feature. If you want to compare the two options, ask for a free permanent lighting quote when you request your Christmas quote.

The commercial block downtown

We light commercial buildings as well as homes. Older storefronts often have parapets, awnings and window frames that hold light well, and a matching design across several buildings gives the whole block a consistent look. If you manage a property, an office or a group of tenants, we can quote the full frontage as one job and schedule the install and removal outside your business hours.

The newer streets south and east

Not every home in Bartow is historic. Wind Meadows, Oak Manor, Peace Creek and the country club area have newer homes with simpler rooflines and open front yards, and the work there goes quickly. We also serve Gordon Heights, Highland City, Homeland, Mulberry and Fort Meade, plus properties out toward Lake Hancock and Lake Garfield, where larger lots often mean the display extends into the trees and along the driveway.

How your quote works without a visit

Send us your address and a few photos of the house, and tell us what you would like lit. We build the quote from those, any measurements you have and satellite imagery, so you get a price quickly without scheduling an appointment. Once you approve it, we put you on the install schedule. Early fall is the best time to reach out if you want a particular week, because the weeks before Christmas book up first every year.

We have served Central Florida since 2023 as a family-owned company. When you call us, you talk to people who care how your house looks from the street.
