North Pole Lighting hangs Christmas lights on homes across Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, and Wilbraham.
We work out of Southwick, cover Hampden County, and answer a 413 number.
The reason homeowners call is not decoration. It is the twenty feet between the driveway and the gutter. Christmas light installation is mostly that twenty feet, and it is the part we do. We work houses in Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, and Wilbraham every fall.
Nothing gets cut until the layout is settled on the ground. We plan the display before we touch a ladder.
One quote covers the whole season, not just the day the ladders go up. A house in Southwick gets the same scope as a house in Agawam. Nothing on the list below is an add-on.
The roofline is what people read from the road, so the roofline run itself sets the shape of everything else.
After dark the ground work carries the display. That is why we light the bushes along the front of the house.
The entry finishes it where people walk up, usually with a lit wreath at the front door.
Hanging a strand takes two hands. Climbing a ladder safely takes one hand on the rails. Those two facts do not fit on the same ladder.
Those four lines are not our opinion. They come straight out of OSHA’s ladder standard.
Most people have only ever hung a string from a big-box store. The product and the method here are both different. The difference shows up in February, not in December.
The strands leave the shop already built. Every bulb is screwed in before anyone drives to your address. That one change takes about an hour off the job at your house. It also means nobody is standing on a ladder assembling anything.
Clips grip the gutter lip, the shingle edge, or the fascia. They come off in January and leave nothing behind. Staples and nails do not.
Our bulbs each screw in on their own. The whole run is cut to fit your roof. A store-bought string is one sealed piece, and when part of it dies you throw the whole thing out. That is the real difference, and almost nobody selling lights explains it.
The cord matters more than people think. Ours is heavier than the stuff on a store shelf. That heavier coat is what keeps a strand from going brittle in the cold or chalky in the sun. It sits outside from November into January and comes back fine.
The outlets decide the layout as much as the roof does. On a deep Longmeadow lot the run from the outlet to the far corner is long. Long runs have limits, and we plan around them.
This is the honest part. Some parts of some houses do not get lit, and we say so at the quote. Steep slate, a third story with no safe footing, or a gutter over a stairwell landing changes the plan. Longmeadow holds both extremes. There are low bungalows with deep eaves near the center of town, and slate-roofed estates off Shaker Road.
The run gets plugged in and walked from the street while the crew is still on site. A dark bulb found now costs five minutes. The same bulb found in December costs a return trip.
Call or send the form.
We take the address and the rough scope on the first call.
Walk the property.
We measure the roofline, find the outlets, and show you what we would light.
Approve the plan.
You confirm the coverage, and the install date goes on the calendar.
Build the strands.
Every bulb gets screwed in at the shop, so the truck arrives ready to hang.
Hang and test.
We work the roofline, then the ground, then plug in the whole display before we leave.
On clips, from ladders, using strands that were assembled before the truck arrived. Nothing is stapled or nailed to your house.
Yes, and that is the whole business. We supply the lights, hang them, service them, take them down, and store them.
Yes. Two stories is the standard job here. It is also the height most homeowners should not be climbing to.
Both. Rooflines, bushes, wreaths, railings and walkway accents are all on the table.
No, and we do not hang lights you already own. We own the product and lease it to you for the season.
Clips made for the surface: gutter clips, shingle clips, and ridge clips. They come off in January and leave nothing behind.
From an existing exterior outlet, on outdoor-rated cord run along the foundation. A timer handles the on and off.
Most homes are a single visit. A bigger house with bushes and wreaths can run longer, and we tell you which yours is at the quote.
Early. The season runs about sixty days and the calendar fills fast. Most installs happen in October and November, before the roof ices over.
One truck, one route, both sides of the state line.
Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Hampden, Wilbraham, Agawam, Feeding Hills, Southwick, Westfield, and Hampden County, Massachusetts. Suffield, West Suffield, and Granby, Connecticut, in Hartford County.
The calendar fills from October forward. Every week after that, the roof gets harder to work.
