We design it, install it, keep it lit through the season, take it down afterward and store it until next year. You flip the switch.

Seasonal holiday lighting is usually handled as a full-season service: design, installation, upkeep while the display is running, takedown afterward, and storage until next year. That last piece matters more than people expect, because the tangle in the garage is half the annoyance. The other half is timing. Installation has to land in the narrow window after the leaves are down but before the roof ices over, which is why good installers book up early in Minnesota.
Hanging holiday lights in Minnesota is not a pleasant afternoon. It is a cold, slippery, all-day job on a ladder over frozen ground, usually in November when the roof already has snow on it.
Then it is the same story every year. A tangled box from the garage, a string that will not light, a gap where the extension cord could not reach, and a takedown job that gets put off until March.
This is a full-season program instead. We design a display to suit the house, supply the lights and every clip and cord, install it, keep it looking right through the season, take it down after the holidays and store it until next year. Nobody in your household goes up a ladder.
ReviewsYour display is easy to judge the first night it comes on. Here is what Minneapolis homeowners say about our holiday light installation. If anything looks off, call within 72 hours and we come back and fix it free.
The same routine every year, and the earlier you book, the better your choice of install date.
We walk the house, talk through colors and style, and design a display that fits its lines and your budget. You approve the plan before anything is ordered.
The install date gets locked in, and sooner is better because October and November fill quickly. Your lights and materials get prepped for the house.
We hang everything with proper clips rather than staples, route the cords cleanly, and set the timers so your display runs on its own.
We check the display through the season, and we come back for a burned-out bulb or a storm-tossed strand at no extra charge.
After the holidays we take everything down, then label, pack and store it ready for us to reinstall next year.
Price depends on the size of the house, how much of it you want lit, and which package you choose. Every quote is all-inclusive: design, lights and materials, installation, season-long maintenance, takedown and off-season storage are built in rather than billed separately. There is no add-on invoice for fixing a bulb or packing the lights away.
The free design consult gives you a firm flat quote before anything is ordered.
One practical note: October and November fill fast. The earlier you reserve, the more dates you can choose from, and if you liked last year’s display we should still have the design on file to put straight back up.

A bare two-story lit with clean warm-white along every roofline and peak.
Wrapped trees and lit walkway beds bringing warmth across the whole front yard.
Roofline, trees, lit wreaths, garland and a feature piece together.
72 hours. No hassle. No charge.
Look over the finished display, and if the workmanship or the design is not right, whether a crooked run, a gap or a section that missed the plan, tell us within 72 hours of install and we come back and fix it at no charge. Keeping the lights lit through the season is separate and included, so a burned-out bulb is never your problem.
Most people picture holiday lighting as a one-day install. This is a five-part program, and we include each part in the price rather than billing it back later.
Design. A free consultation, a walk around the house, and a display laid out to suit its lines: rooflines, peaks, columns, trees and walkways, in the colors you want. You approve it before anything goes up.
Install. We hang everything with proper clips rather than staples, so there are no nail holes and no damage to gutters or shingles. We route the cords cleanly and set the timers so your display runs itself.
Mid-season maintenance. Minnesota weather is hard on a display. If a bulb goes, a strand droops or heavy snow knocks something loose, we come back and fix it at no extra charge. You should not have to babysit your own lights.
Take down. After the holidays we return and remove everything. No brittle strands to coil up in January.
Storage. The part people tend to like most: we label, pack and store the lights, so next year they come back out in good condition and go straight back up.
Every package uses the same commercial-grade LED lights, which are brighter, more durable and considerably more efficient than store-bought strands. All materials are supplied, meaning the lights, clips, cords and timers, so there is nothing for you to buy or keep.
The lights stay ours, which we mention because it is the detail that separates our packages from a lot of what you will be quoted. You are never buying strands yourself, handing them to us in November and taking a tangle of them back in January.
| Package | What is included | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Good, classic roofline | Clean, even lighting along the main rooflines and front peaks, with a timer set to your schedule. | A crisp, classic look that lights the whole house. |
| Better, roofline plus trees | Everything in Good, plus wrapped trees, lit shrubs and accent lighting along walkways and beds. | Homes that want warmth across the whole front yard. |
| Best, the full display | Everything in Better, plus lit wreaths, garland on columns and railings, and a feature piece. | The house on the block people slow down for. |
If you like the look but not the annual booking, there is a longer-term option worth knowing about. With permanent lighting, we mount our Signature 48-volt system under your eaves once, in a track color-matched to your trim so it blends in during the day. You run it from an app on your phone: full color at the holidays, true warm white the rest of the year, and security lighting whenever you want it.
That means no annual install, no takedown, no storage and nothing to book each October. Plenty of homeowners start with a seasonal install, decide they like not thinking about it, and go permanent the following year.
It is not the right answer for everyone. If you only want lights up for a few weeks and enjoy changing the look each year, a seasonal install is the cheaper and more flexible choice, and we would rather say so than sell you the bigger job.
No, and this is the part most people are glad to hand over. After takedown the lights get labeled, packed and stored through the off-season, then come back out and go straight up next year.
We fix it. We include mid-season maintenance, so we come back out for a burned-out bulb, a drooping strand or storm damage at no extra charge. Nobody should be out on a ladder in December checking their own display.
Yes. Your display design gets kept on file, so returning customers get the same look put back up. If you want to build on it, moving from roofline up to the full display, that works from what is already there.
No. We supply the lights, clips, cords and timers, and they stay ours. You are never buying a garage full of holiday inventory, handing it to us in November and taking it back in January.
We come back and fix the install at no charge within 72 hours. That is the Wally’s Worry-Free Guarantee applied to install workmanship and design, and season-long maintenance sits on top of it.
We light storefronts, offices, restaurants, HOAs and multi-building properties across the metro, on a schedule that works around your trading hours. The same full-season program applies, so your team never touches a ladder or a light strand.
For commercial work, insurance documentation and references are available on request, which is normally what a property manager or facilities team needs on file before work starts. Ask us about multi-season agreements if you want to lock in scheduling and pricing year over year.
We cover Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding metro. Check your city or ZIP:
We work out of one office in New Hope and cover Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding metro from it. One local company, not a franchise or a dealer network, so the people who quote your job are the people who do it and the people you call afterward.
Straight answers so you know what you are booking. If your question is not here, call and ask.
It depends on how much of your roofline, trees and bushes you want lit, and which display size you pick. You get a free design consult and a flat price before anything goes up.
Book as early as you can. October and November calendars fill fast, and booking early gives you more choice of install date. Returning customers generally get first pick.
You can, but you do not need to. We supply timers with the display, so it turns on and off by itself.
After the holidays. We take everything down, then label, pack and store it through the off-season, ready to go back up next year.
Ask us when you get in touch. The program is built around supplying and storing the lights, which is what makes the maintenance and storage promises possible, so using your own strands changes what can be guaranteed about them.
Possibly, if the annual booking is the part you dislike. We install permanent lighting once, it blends in during the day, and you run it from an app with no monthly fee and no takedown or storage. If you only want lights up for a few weeks a year and enjoy changing the look, seasonal is cheaper and more flexible.
Look over the finished display, and if anything about the install workmanship or design falls short, call (612) 216-7894 within 72 hours of install. We come back and fix it at no charge. No invoice, no argument, no fine print.
Book your free design consult. We design, install, maintain, take down and store it, backed by our 72-Hour Worry-Free Guarantee on install workmanship.
