Christmas Light Installation in Valley Park

Small town inside a big county

Valley Park is an oddity in West County — an actual old town, close-set and characterful, sitting down along the Meramec while the subdivisions spread out on the ridges above it. The housing near the centre is older and modest, on tight lots, with the kind of porch detail that got built out of newer construction.

Close quarters mean everything is seen up close. We trace the porch, keep the roofline run dead level, and use warm white because it suits older paint and brick. Nothing gets stapled into original wood, and everything comes down carefully in January.

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 Valley Park constantly on the way to Ballwin and Manchester, so install dates and repairs are both quick. (636) 244-6125.
