How it works

Six steps, and we handle all of them

You never climb a ladder, sort a bin, or chase anyone down. Here is exactly what happens from your first call.

  1. Consultation

    We start by listening. Tell us about your property, your style, and what you’re hoping to create — by phone or on site.

  2. Design mockup

    You see the plan before we start. A visual mockup maps fixtures and highlights so rooflines, trees, paths and facades are dialled in ahead of install.

  3. Custom fit

    Commercial-grade materials, cut to fit your home on site — no gaps, no overlaps, no stretched strands pulled from a box.

  4. Professional install

    Straight lines, tidy cable runs, concealed wiring where possible, and thoughtful transformer and timer placement.

  5. After-dark walkthrough

    We come back once it’s dark to fine-tune beam angles, brightness and schedules, so the finished look is the one you signed off on.

  6. Support & takedown

    In-season support if anything shifts after wind or ice — then January takedown and labelled off-site storage for holiday displays.

Common questions

Holiday, permanent & landscape lighting FAQs

When should I book holiday lighting in Erie, Genesee or Niagara County?

Earlier is better. Booking in late summer to early fall lets us confirm your design mockup, secure an installation window before the rush, and custom-fit materials on site. We fill up fast once lake-effect weather kicks in, so reserving early helps us keep everything neat, safe and on schedule. If you’re reaching out closer to the season, we’ll do our best to fit you in and can prioritise simple roofline displays first.

Do you offer colour options beyond warm white?

Yes. Warm white is our most popular for a classic look, but we also offer pure white, multi-colour, or custom colour mixes. We’ll show you design mockups so you can compare roofline runs, wreaths and tree wrapping in different palettes before we install. If you want to switch styles next year, we can update your leased inventory to match.

How do timers work without apps or smart controls?

We set reliable dusk-to-dawn or scheduled plug-in timers — no apps required. Your lights turn on at sunset and power down automatically. If you prefer fixed hours (say 5–11pm), we’ll program that. We also tidy up cable management and place the controller somewhere easily accessible. If anything drifts after a power outage, just call us — it’s part of our full-service leasing package.

What happens if something needs attention during the season?

With holiday lighting, our lease includes in-season support. If a bulb needs replacing or a line shifts after wind or ice, we’ll come out and get everything looking right again. For landscape lighting, we offer maintenance plans covering lens cleaning, re-aiming fixtures and checking connections so your system stays consistent year-round.

How is landscape lighting handled differently?

You’ll receive a design mockup first, then we install low-voltage fixtures, a transformer and weather-sealed connections. We conceal wiring for a clean daytime look and return after dark to fine-tune beam angles and brightness. Unlike holiday lights, landscape lighting runs year-round and is built for permanent curb appeal, safety and wayfinding.

Do holiday displays require a transformer?

No — holiday roofline and décor typically use commercial-grade C9/C7 LED strands with timers and don’t require a low-voltage transformer. We custom-cut to fit your roofline, secure everything cleanly and set your schedule. Landscape lighting does use a transformer to safely power fixtures and manage voltage across zones. We’ll handle both systems as needed.

Do you take the holiday lights down and store them?

Yes. Our full-service lease includes January takedown and off-site storage. We label and pack everything so it’s ready to reinstall next season for a perfect fit. You won’t have to climb ladders, organise bins or worry about damage. We’ll also note any updates you want for next year, like colour changes or added trees.

Do you serve my area?

We serve Buffalo, Amherst, Williamsville, Clarence, Tonawanda, Grand Island, Niagara Falls, North Tonawanda, Lewiston and nearby suburbs. If you’re just outside these areas, reach out — we’ll confirm availability or recommend timing. Our crews are local and familiar with WNY homes and all weather conditions.

Do you do commercial lighting?

We’re residential-first and take on select commercial projects in Erie and Niagara County — storefronts, restaurants, offices and small plazas. For holiday displays, our lease model keeps maintenance fast and predictable. For landscape systems, we design for safety and visibility. Share your scope and timeline and we’ll confirm fit.

How far in advance should I plan landscape lighting?

If you can, reach out 3–6 weeks before your ideal install date. That gives us time to complete a site walk, create your mockup, confirm fixture selections and schedule installation. We can move faster when needed, and we stage projects to keep disruption low. After installation we may return at dusk to tune the look.

What is permanent lighting, and how is it different from holiday lights?

Permanent lighting is a professionally installed, low-profile system designed to stay on your home or building year-round. Instead of putting lights up each season, you control the look anytime — warm white for everyday curb appeal, or full RGBW colour for holidays, events and team pride. Unlike seasonal strands, it’s built for year-round use, with zones, scenes and schedules you can change on demand.

Can permanent outdoor lighting do warm white and colour-changing themes?

Yes. We install systems that support warm white for an elegant daily glow and full-colour RGBW for holidays and special events. We’ll help you set up scenes — subtle evening ambience, Christmas colours, Halloween, July 4th — and organise zones so different parts of your property can run different looks at the same time.

Is permanent lighting app-controlled, and can I set schedules?

Yes. You can turn it on and off, adjust brightness, choose colours and run presets from the app. We can set schedules for everyday use (like dusk to 11pm) and separate schedules for holidays or weekends. Zoning is a big advantage too, so you can keep a soft warm-white entry glow while running brighter colour scenes on the front roofline.

Do you install permanent lighting for commercial buildings too?

Yes — for both residential and commercial properties across Erie and Niagara County. For businesses it’s a strong way to stay visible, highlight your storefront or facade, and switch themes for holidays and promotions without paying for repeated seasonal installs. Tell us your building type, frontage and goals and we’ll design a clean, professional layout.

What happens if something goes wrong with the permanent lighting system?

We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee, plus an optional maintenance package for ongoing coverage. Even if you’re not on a plan, we’re local — call us and we’ll fix it. Your system should look great, run reliably and stay dialled in through Western New York weather.
