A note from the crew
The way a brick house ought to glow
There’s a moment every December on almost any street in St. Louis — a Kirkwood porch block, a Webster lane under the oaks, a long drive off Conway Road — when a red-brick two-story with its roofline traced in warm white simply looks finished. The brick turns copper. The shutters go deep green. The whole block feels ten degrees warmer.
That’s the job. We hang Christmas lights the way this town’s tuckpointers point brick: patiently, in straight lines, built to hold through sleet coming sideways off the river. You pick the look. We measure, cut every run to fit your house exactly, clip it on without putting a single staple in your fascia, and set the timers. A bulb quits in December? We come swap it. January rolls around? We take it all down, label it, and store it until next fall.
Your ladder stays in the garage. That’s the whole idea.
— The crew at St. Louis Christmas Light Installers
What we do
Five services, one glowing season
Every display is measured, cut, and clipped to the house it hangs on — nothing off a big-box shelf, nothing stapled.
I
Residential Lighting
Warm white C9s along rooflines, ridges, dormers, and gables — plus porch rails, columns, window frames, wreaths, and garland. We cut every run to your architecture, so corners meet crisp and lines never drift.
II
Commercial & Storefront
Storefronts, restaurants, offices, and HOA entrances across the metro. We install after hours, run everything on timers, and have your frontage lit and working before Thanksgiving.
III
Design & Custom Looks
Not sure what suits the house? We walk the property with you — warm white classic, a cranberry accent, wrapped trunks, lit garland — and sketch a display that fits the brick instead of fighting it.
IV
Takedown & Storage
In January we come back, take every strand down carefully, coil and label it by section of your house, and store it in our facility until next fall. Re-installs go up faster every year because of it.
V
Season-Long Maintenance
A bulb goes dark, a storm knocks a line loose — call us, because it’s our display to keep burning. We’re typically out within about 48 hours, and it never costs you extra.
How it works
From phone call to glowing roofline
Call or send the form
Tell us the address. We price most homes the same day — often from a drive-by and a good look at your rooflines, no appointment needed.
We install in October–November
Lights are custom-cut on site, clipped to shingles and gutters — never stapled — set on timers, and tested before the truck pulls out of your driveway.
It glows. We keep it that way.
Maintenance all season, takedown in January, labeled storage until next fall. One price covers the whole cycle.

Why us
Why neighbors hand us the ladder
Every install includes
- Commercial-grade LED bulbs and wire, custom-cut to your house — not a box kit stretched to fit
- Clips sized to your shingles and gutters — never staples, never screws in the fascia
- Timers set at install, so the display runs itself from dusk on
- Season-long maintenance — a dark bulb is our problem, usually fixed within 48 hours
- January takedown with careful coiling and labeled off-site storage
- Licensed & insured crews on every job, residential or commercial
The straight-line promise
Anyone can throw lights at a gutter. The difference you notice from the curb is discipline: corners that meet, spacing that never drifts, a ridge line that doesn’t sag mid-span. We hang to a chalk-line standard, and if any run on your house settles crooked during the season, we come back and re-hang it. Included, not extra.
“If it isn’t straight, it isn’t finished.”
The looks
Five looks, hung by our crews
Real installs from our own crews — every display is measured and cut to the house it lands on.
Want to see how a look lands on your brick? Send the form and we’ll talk it through.
Over the fence
The standard we hold ourselves to
Lines on the ridge straight enough to check with a level, corners that actually meet, and nobody in the house ever climbed a ladder.
The install standard
A bulb goes dark the week before Christmas and it’s burning again within a couple of days — without the homeowner having to chase anyone.
The maintenance standard
Storefront lit before Thanksgiving, running on timers all season, and taken down in January before anyone thinks to ask.
The commercial standard
We’d rather earn real reviews than invent them — this is the bar for every job, and named St. Louis reviews will live here as this season’s installs wrap.
Fair questions
Things neighbors ask us
What does Christmas light installation cost in St. Louis?
It depends on how much roofline you have and how high it climbs. A modest single-story usually lands in the few hundreds; a big two-story colonial with peaks, dormers, and a wrapped tree runs more. Every quote is free, firm, and usually back to you the same day — and the price covers install, maintenance, takedown, and storage.
Do you supply the lights, or hang the ones I own?
We supply commercial-grade LED bulbs and wire, custom-cut to your house. We don’t install store-bought strands — they fail in Missouri weather and we can’t stand behind them. Ours we can, which is why maintenance is included.
When should I book?
Earlier than feels reasonable. October install weeks get claimed first, and the calendar is usually full by mid-October. Book now, pick your week, and your display is up before the neighbors have found their extension cords.
When do the lights come down?
January. Takedown is part of every install — we remove every strand and clip, coil and label it all by section of your house, and store it at our facility until next season. Nothing lives in your attic.
Do you do commercial buildings?
Yes — storefronts, restaurants, office parks, and subdivision entrances across the metro. We work after hours so your customers never see a lift, and timers keep the frontage lit on schedule through the season.
What happens if a bulb goes out in December?
Call us — that’s our job, not yours. Season-long maintenance is included, and we’re typically out within about 48 hours to swap a bulb or re-secure a line after a storm.
Will the install damage my roof or gutters?
No. Everything attaches with clips sized to your shingles and gutter lip — no staples, no screws, no holes in your fascia. Takedown leaves nothing behind.
Which areas do you serve?
St. Louis and its western suburbs, both sides of the Missouri River: Chesterfield, Clayton, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Ladue, Frontenac, Town and Country, Ballwin, Wildwood, O’Fallon, and St. Charles. If you’re close but not listed, call — the trucks range widely.
