Why Go Pro for Holiday Lights
Professional installation means roof safety, non‑damaging clips, weather‑rated gear, and a tidy layout that respects your architecture. Custom‑cut strings match your roofline exactly—no sag, no extra tails—so the display looks sharp day and night. If something fails mid‑season, we come back and fix it.
Design Frameworks that Always Look Good
- Classic rooflines (C9/C7 LEDs): Bold, clean outlines that define your home’s shape.
- Foliage wraps: Mini‑lights on trunks, branches, hedges add depth.
- Wreaths & garland: Daytime curb appeal with evening sparkle at doors and gables.
- Walkway stakes: Safer paths for guests and a high‑end finish.
Color strategy: Pick one primary (warm white) and one accent (red/green or cool white) for a timeless look. Mirror angles on left/right dormers for visual balance.
Materials & Hardware (What Separates Quality)
- Commercial‑grade LED for brightness and efficiency.
- Proper wire gauge and sealed connections for Pacific Northwest weather.
- Non‑marring clips for shingles, gutters, and fascia—no screws through the roof.
- Timers set to dusk‑to‑dawn or custom schedules.
Well‑built materials stay bright and safe through the wet season and look better in photos.
Planning Timeline
- September: pick inspirations and budget.
- October: lock in your spot; finalize colors/coverage.
- November: installation window; test timers and loads.
- December: in‑season maintenance included.
- January: takedown and optional labeled storage.
Weather note: Light rain is fine. We shift times for high winds or ice.
How We Power and Control the Display
We use existing outdoor GFCI outlets and balance loads across circuits to prevent tripping. Timers are set so the display turns on/off automatically. Cable runs are clean and tucked to protect landscaping and paint.
What’s Included with Bubble Truck
- Design consult using photos/measurements.
- Custom‑cut lights that match your roofline precisely.
- Professional installation with tidy cable management.
- Timer setup and testing.
- In‑season fixes: if a bulb/strand fails, text us and we’ll handle it.
- Takedown after the holidays.
- Optional storage so next year’s setup is fast and organized.
Pricing Variables (Where Budget Goes)
- Roofline footage and number of peaks/dormers.
- Trees & bushes: quantity and complexity of wraps.
- Decor elements: wreaths, garland, stake lights.
- Access & safety: steep roofs, three‑story sections, terrain.
- Electrical layout: distance to outlets, required extensions, load balancing.
Ways to save: Focus on the front elevation first, add foliage the next year, and choose a simple color palette. Booking early gives more schedule options.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
If a section goes dark, snap a photo and text it over. We identify whether it’s a timer setting, connection, or strand and fix it. Staying responsive keeps your display shining through the season.
Takedown & Storage
After New Year’s, we remove and label each section carefully. Optional storage protects lights and makes future seasons plug‑and‑play. Organized bins = longer lifespan, less waste, and faster installs.
Prep Checklist for Install Day
- Clear vehicles from driveway/curb.
- Unlock gates; secure pets.
- Confirm outlet locations.
- Trim obstructive branches if needed.
- Share any roof concerns (new shingles, brittle gutters) so we adjust hardware.
