Hanging lights in Rangely usually means working in the wind, with cold fingers, on a roof that might already have frost on it. Most people would rather spend that time with family. We take the whole job off your plate, from planning the layout to plugging in the timer.
Our holiday light installation in Rangely starts with a layout for your roofline, trees, and walkways. We can provide commercial grade lights or install your own strands, fasten everything with clips built for the job, and set timers so the display turns on and off by itself. After the holidays, we take it all down and can store it until next season. Since Rangely is at the east end of our route, we book these installs ahead, so call early in the fall.
We know Rangely wind and cold, so we plan layouts and fasten strands to stay put through the whole Christmas season.
Extension ladders, lifts for taller rooflines, and proper clips let us hang lights straight without damaging gutters or shingles.
We'll tell you whether your old strands are worth hanging and what layout will actually look best from the street.
Packaging, old clips, and extra wire leave with us, and we don't leave ladder marks or trampled shrubs behind.
A lot of Rangely homes are ranch styles with long, simple rooflines, along with plenty of two-story houses and homes with steep gables. Each one lights up differently. A single clean run along the eaves makes a low house look sharp from the street, while outlined peaks give a taller house shape after dark. Trees, shrubs, porch railings, and the path to the front door fill in the rest.
We sketch out the plan with you before anything goes up. That includes color choices, like classic warm white, bright multicolor, or a mix, and what to light versus leave dark so the display looks intentional instead of crowded. If you have a photo of a look you love, bring it along and we’ll work from there.
You have two options. We can provide commercial grade lights sized to your layout, which saves you from guessing how many feet of roofline you have or buying mismatched boxes at the store. Or, if you already have a collection you love, we’ll install your lights instead.
If you’re bringing your own, we test every strand before it goes up. Strands with dead sections or damaged cords get set aside so you can decide whether to replace them, and you don’t end up with a dark gap on the front of the house. Mixing brands and bulb styles can look patchy, so we’ll also point out where your strands will match and where they won’t.
Rangely winters bring dry wind, hard cold, and snow that sits on the roof for days. Lights that are draped or stapled don’t last long in that. We fasten strands with clips made for gutters and shingles, spaced close enough that gusts can’t lift a loop off the roof edge.
We also keep the cold in mind. Plastic gets brittle when nights drop toward the single digits, so we handle and route strands carefully and keep connections tucked out of the way of snow and meltwater. If heavy snow builds up later in the season, roof snow raking can take some of it off without disturbing the display.
Nobody wants to walk outside in January cold every night to plug the lights in. We set up timers so your display comes on at dusk and shuts off at whatever hour you choose. Here’s what we look at when setting up power:
Businesses along Main Street get a lot out of a lit storefront. Evening traffic on Colorado 64 notices a well-lit building, and a warm display makes a shop or restaurant look open and welcoming on dark winter evenings. Offices, churches, and apartment entrances near the college use lights the same way.
Commercial displays often include signs, entry columns, and window outlines. If your sign brackets or fascia need attention before we hang anything, our general repairs crew can take care of it first so everything sits straight.
Once the season wraps up, we come back and take everything down carefully, coil the strands, and label them by section so next year’s install goes faster. You can keep them yourself, or we can store them for you until next fall.
Because Rangely sits at the far end of our route, install and takedown dates get booked ahead of time, so call early to get on the schedule. If you’d rather skip the yearly cycle altogether, permanent property lighting stays on your roofline all year and runs from an app on your phone.
We visit your Rangely property to measure rooflines, look at trees and walkways, and find outdoor outlets for the display.
Your free quote covers the layout, whether we supply lights or hang yours, timers, takedown, and optional storage.
Our crew clips every strand straight, wraps trees evenly, routes cords safely, and sets timers before we leave.
We light it up with you after dark, adjust anything that looks off, and schedule your takedown date.
