  • Two-story rooflines
  • Anything requiring roof walking

Need a pro for this?

What we'll ask you first
  1. One story or two?
  2. Do you have lights, or need them supplied?
  3. Install only, or takedown too?

Have these ready and the call takes two minutes.

Do it yourself

Rather do it yourself?

Hang lights on a one-story roofline

Steps
  1. Test every string on the ground first.
  2. Use plastic shingle or gutter clips, never staples.
  3. Plug into a GFCI outlet with an outdoor timer.
