Commercial Trees
This 30′ tree was installed for Shawnee Township. It is a great attraction and truly helps to bring joy to the whole community
Harrod Tree
This evergreen tree in Harrod belongs to one of our favorite customers. This is one of over eight trees that we wrap at their home. This particular tree is incredibly showstopping!
Shawneee Snow Tubes
In Indianbrook in Shawnee we install these falling snow tubes. It is incredibly hard to show off in photography. But it is one of the most stunning things to see in person.
Classic White
This home shows off our classic warm white look. Most of our customers prefer this option.
Blue Christmas
This customer has neighbors that we decorate and they are all warm white. They wanted something unique. This house really shows off the blue.
Outlines
Brick and stone make it possible for us to outline windows and archways. A very classic look, but also a little more elegant.
In the Snow
This home shows how a simple looking roofine can actually be quite difficult. This metal roof is very steep and required a lift to do the entire upper right side.
Stake Lights
We don’t know why more people don’t add stake lights to their display. It’s an inexpensive way to really upgrade the look of your Christmas display.
Flying High
Many of our homes are both tall and steep. This roof is a 12/12 which is difficult to walk without safety gear as well as decently tall.
Professional Christmas Light Installation for Steep Roofs and Larger Homes
Light Up Lima provides professional Christmas light installation for a wide range of residential and commercial properties across Northwest Ohio. Our team regularly installs holiday lighting on two story homes, steep pitch roofs, high rooflines, estate properties, and commercial buildings.
We operate with professional lift equipment throughout the entire installation season, allowing for safer installations, cleaner rooflines, and precise placement. This approach reduces risk to your property and ensures a higher quality finished result compared to ladder only installation methods.
Custom-Fit Holiday Lighting. No Tape. No Guesswork. Professional Finish.
Every Christmas lighting installation is custom-designed and tailored to your home or building. We professionally measure each property and cut lighting to exact lengths, with plug ends installed on every run for a clean and efficient setup.
Our installation process is over 90 percent staple free, creating a polished look without damage to your home. We use high-quality materials, including C9 LED bulbs for rooflines, C7 lights for evergreens and architectural accents, and mini lights for branch wrapping.
The result is a crisp, professional display with clean lines, no visible cords, and no excess wiring.
