Custom Christmas Light Design in Lincoln, NE
The step that comes before anything is ordered. We walk the property, measure every run, and build a layout for your house rather than fitting it to a package — then show you the plan and a firm price before you commit to any of it.
What happens at a holiday lighting consultation?
We come to the property, measure the roofline and every run you want lit, look at roof height, pitch and ladder access, and talk through what you want the house to look like. Then you get a layout specific to your home and a firm price before anything is ordered. The consultation and the measurement are free, and there is no obligation to book after it.
Why design is a separate step
Most quotes in this trade are a tier — small, medium, large — and the house is fitted to whichever one it is closest to. Footage that does not fit the tier gets left dark or absorbed into someone's margin.
Measuring first means the quote matches the house. It also means the number does not move later, because nothing was assumed.
Two houses with identical square footage can differ by sixty feet of roofline once cross-gables, dormers and a wrapped porch are counted. That difference is the price, so it is worth getting right before anyone orders fixtures.
What we look at on the walk
Every run you want lit. Eaves, gables, peaks, dormers, columns, porch lines, plus trees, shrubs, pathways and driveway edges if you want them.
Height and pitch. What is reachable from a ladder and what needs different equipment, which affects both safety and time.
Access. Landscaping, fencing and where a ladder can actually be footed.
Power. Where the outdoor outlets are and how the display will be routed to them, so you are not left with leads across a walkway.
What you actually want. Front elevation only is a perfectly good answer, and a cheaper one than wrapping the whole house.
What you get at the end of it
A layout for your property, a firm installed price, and an expected timeline written into the quote rather than discovered on the day.
If something on the property is genuinely unsafe to light, you hear it at this stage, not after the job is booked.
If the number is not what you hoped, nobody has lost anything. We publish $6 to $8 a foot for roofline work precisely so that conversation can happen before an appointment.
Common questions
Does the consultation cost anything?
No. The walk and the measurement are free, and there is no obligation to book afterwards.
Can the price change after the design is agreed?
No. The quote is firm before anything is ordered, and there are no change orders invented halfway through an install. If you ask for more lighting after the fact, that is quoted as an addition.
Can you show me what it will look like first?
We walk the plan with you on the property, elevation by elevation, so you can see where every run goes against your own trim rather than picking from a brochure.
How long does the consultation take?
Long enough to measure properly — typically under an hour for a single-family home. Larger and multi-storey properties take longer.
