Christmas Light Installation in Jennings

Brick, and blocks that run straight

Jennings is brick — bungalows, four-families and small two-storys on a tight grid just over the city line. The streets run straight, the houses sit close to them, and the rooflines are modest and honest. It is efficient work and it is unforgiving work, because everything is at arm’s length.

On a house this close to the sidewalk the front elevation does more than the roof. We trace the porch, light the entry, put wreaths where they read from the street, and keep the roofline run dead even. Warm white sits better on brick than anything else, and it always will.

What works here

• Warm white C9s along the full roofline — one clean line is the whole job on a close-set street
• The porch traced — rail, posts and header, because the porch is the face of the house
• Wreaths at the front windows — seen from the sidewalk, which is where people actually are
• Garland at the door — the arrival moment, done properly
• A wrapped tree at the curb — mature street trees do more here than another roof run

We are through this part of North County constantly, so install dates are easy to schedule and a mid-season repair is usually same-week. (636) 244-6125.
