Roofline, ridgeline, trees, shrubs and walkways — designed, installed, maintained, taken down and stored by the same insured crew. You never touch a ladder, a bin or a tangled strand.
Residential Christmas light installers who do the whole job
Plenty of people will hang the lights you bought. Castle does something different: we bring commercial-grade LED lights, design the display around your home, install it professionally, fix it free all season, take it down in January and store it until next year. It's a full-service rental, and for most homes it costs $1,000 – $2,000, everything included.
What we light on a home
- Roofline. Lights along the gutters and fascia — the classic outline and the base of nearly every display.
- Ridgeline. The roof peaks above the gutter line, which turns an outline into a full silhouette visible from the end of the street.
- Trees. Trunks and limbs wrapped in mini lights, or icicle drops hung from the branches — wrapped palms are a Florida signature.
- Shrubs and beds. Hedges and foundation plantings, so the front of the house glows instead of just the edges.
- Walkways and driveways. Pathway lights that pull the display down to ground level and guide guests to the door.
Not sure which layers fit your home? Read roofline vs. ridgeline vs. tree wrapping, or just tell us what you're picturing and we'll suggest the rest.
What the design mockup looks like
Before the install, you get a mockup of your actual home showing where every run of lights goes — roofline in one color, ridgeline in another, trees and pathways marked. It's the same drawing the crew installs from, so what you approve is what goes up. It also becomes the map we store with your lights, which is why year two is a phone call, not a redesign.
The no-ladder pitch
Every December, the same scene plays out in garages across Central Florida: the bins come down, half the strands are dead, and someone ends up on a wobbly ladder in flip-flops. Our crews hang Christmas lights professionally, on the right equipment, with a $2 million liability policy and workers' comp behind them. You flip one switch and take all the credit.

How the season goes, start to finish
- September – October: quote and book. Sixty seconds on the form, a same-day price by text, a mockup to approve, and a 50% deposit to lock the date. Early bookings get 15% off for 2026.
- October – December: install. The crew arrives with your mockup and our equipment, installs in a morning or a day depending on the home, tests at dusk and leaves the display on its timer.
- Through New Year's: enjoy it. Anything blinks or goes dark, you call and we fix it free.
- January 1–21: takedown. Everything comes down, gets coiled and tagged, and goes to our facility.
- Next fall: repeat. Your layout and lights are stored together, so year two is a date on the calendar, not a redesign.
Colors and styles we install
Warm white is the most requested look in Central Florida and the safest choice in HOA communities. Multicolor C9 bulbs give the classic nostalgic roofline. Red-and-white candy-cane patterns and two-tone mixes are popular on ridgelines. Trees are usually wrapped in warm-white mini lights whatever the roofline color, so the whole display reads as one design. Tell us the look you're picturing, or send a photo of a house you admire, and it goes into the mockup.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Most installs happen while you're at work. We need working exterior outlets and, if you have a gate, a way in. You'll come home to the display already up and on a timer.
Usually, yes. Send a photo with your quote request and we'll fold it into the mockup — warm white, multicolor, candy-cane patterns and mixed roofline-plus-ridgeline looks are all common requests.
Our clips are designed to grip gutters, shingles and tile without screws or adhesive. Even with the best care, roof and gutter hardware can occasionally mark surfaces, which the contract spells out honestly — but drilling is never part of a residential install.
Most single-story homes are done in a morning; a two-story home with trees and walkways can take most of a day. The mockup tells the crew exactly where everything goes, so there's no figuring it out on your roof.
