Christmas Light Installation in Oviedo, FL

What Oviedo rooflines are actually like

Oviedo has a mix of older and newer neighborhoods, and you can see it in the roofs. The older streets have more shallow hip roofs with wide overhangs, while the newer ones tend to have steeper gables and a second story. Many homes have a garage-forward layout, where the garage sits closest to the street and the front door is set back in shadow.

That layout matters more than most people expect. If we only light the eave line on a garage-forward house, the garage stands out and the entry disappears. So we add some light at the front door, and the house looks like a home instead of a lit driveway.

Alafaya Woods, Tuska Ridge and the older family streets

Alafaya Woods, Tuska Ridge, Aloma Woods and Remington Park include many of the city’s older homes. Most are single story or one and a half stories with long horizontal rooflines, and many now have large trees out front.

Some owners assume these homes are not worth lighting, but they look great with the right design. A clean run across a wide, low roof, a wrapped tree and some accent lighting at the entry will look better than a much bigger house done carelessly. These homes also tend to land at the lower end of our price range, which is worth knowing before you decide against it.

Live Oak Reserve, Twin Rivers and Stillwater

The newer side of Oviedo has more two-story homes. Live Oak Reserve, Twin Rivers, Stillwater, Kingsbridge and Carillon have the peaks, dormers and second-floor eaves that make a display look tall from a distance.

These homes also take longer to install. Every change in direction on a roofline is its own run, and a second story means more ladder work. That is the real reason these homes cost more, and it is also why booking early matters in these neighborhoods.

Black Hammock and the acreage east of town

Out toward Black Hammock and Lake Jesup, the lots are larger, the houses sit well back from the road and the oaks are older. From the road, a roofline alone does very little on a property like that.

What works is lighting in stages: something at the entrance, something along the drive and then the house. We use wrapped oaks, palm wraps where you have palms and a full roofline closer in. Chapman Lakes and the Riverside area are similar, with more land than roofline.

Townhomes and the Oviedo on the Park side

We are happy to light attached homes and townhomes near Oviedo on the Park, even though they are smaller jobs. They usually have a short roofline, one or two peaks and a shared wall that marks where your part ends. We light your section and stop at the line. These homes usually come in at our starting price, and they install quickly.

What comes with the job

We provide everything, and all you have to do is decide what you want lit.

• Commercial-grade LED lights, timers, clips and hardware, all supplied by us.
• Season-long maintenance. If a section goes dark or the weather damages the display, we fix it for free.
• Complete removal after New Year’s, with the lights stored in our warehouse until next season.

You never buy a strand or store a bin, and you never stand on a ladder in the dark hunting for the one bulb that took out a run.

What it costs in Oviedo

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

An option that never comes down

If you like the look but not the yearly routine, consider permanent outdoor lighting. We install it once in a low-profile track under the eave, color matched to your trim so it is hard to see in daylight, and you control it from your phone. You can run warm white most of the year, red and green in December and any color you like for other holidays. Ask for a free permanent lighting quote, and we can send it alongside your Christmas quote.

Getting on the Oviedo schedule, and getting it back off

We build quotes remotely from your address, photos, measurements and satellite imagery, so there is no appointment to schedule and nobody has to be home. Send us your address and a few photos, and we will send your design and price quickly.

Once you approve it, you choose an install week. Late summer and early fall give you the best choice of dates, and the two-story neighborhoods fill first. We hang your lights, test them at dusk, keep them working all season and come back for them in January.
