Why people hire us

The ladder comes out.
The season stops being fun.

The lights you untangled last year. The staples that pull the trim. The strand that worked in the garage but won’t light on the roof. A cold afternoon in November becoming a weekend-long project. And then January, when everything has to come down and get sorted and stored somewhere.

Most people who hire us once don’t go back. Not because it’s expensive — but because having it handled, professionally, every single year is one of those things you wonder why you waited on.

The DIY reality
Half a Saturday on a ladder. Lights that don’t hang straight. One strand out means the whole section is dim. By the time it looks okay, you’re over it.
The cheap-install reality
Lights that sag mid-season. Visible extension cords. A display that looks like it was done fast because it was. The neighbors notice the difference.
What this service actually is
You don’t touch a ladder. We install, check lights throughout the season, take everything down in January, and store it until next year. You just enjoy December.

What professional means

Custom fit.
No extra lights hanging.
No visible cords. Ever.

Every installation is measured and custom cut to your home. Lights are trimmed to exact lengths with plug ends installed on every run. Our process is over 90% staple-free — no damage to trim, no holes left behind in spring.

We use professional lift equipment throughout the season. That means we can safely install on steep-pitch roofs, two-story homes, and commercial properties that ladder-only companies won’t touch — or will do poorly. The result is cleaner rooflines, more precise placement, and a finished look that reads differently from the street.

Z

Locally owned by Zach Everett in Lima, Ohio. We’ve served the same Northwest Ohio communities for years. A lot of our clients are neighbors — and that matters for how we do the work.

Custom cut to your home
Lights are measured and trimmed to exact lengths for your roofline, windows, and trees. No bunched strands, no gaps, no visible excess hanging at the corners.
Professional lift equipment
We operate lifts throughout the season for steep-pitch and multi-story roofs. Safer for your property, cleaner placement, and we can reach what ladders can’t.
In-season maintenance guarantee
If weather, wind, or anything else causes a problem, we come back. No questions. The lights stay up and stay working through the end of the season.
You own the lights after year one
Unlike lease-only models, the lighting system is yours after the first season. Year two pricing drops by approximately 25%, and no sales tax applies.
Commercial and estate scale
We handle large-scale commercial installations including downtown districts, restaurants, and municipal properties. Projects up to $50,000.
250+
Homes served each season
From simple warm white rooflines to full estate displays with wrapped trees, stake lights, and commercial-scale artificial trees.
90%
Annual renewal rate
Most clients book again before takedown day. Over 100 clients have been with us for multiple consecutive seasons.
25%
Year two price reduction
Because you own the lights and we know your home, year two is faster and costs meaningfully less. The system gets more economical every season.

How it works

You don’t touch a thing.

From the first conversation to the last label in January, it’s handled. Here’s what every season looks like.

01

Design

We listen to what you want and walk the property. Warm white, colored, trees, stake lights, arches — we lay out options and build a custom design around your home and budget. No templates.

02

Installation

We begin in October and fill quickly. Lights are custom cut, professionally hung, and timer-set. We work around your schedule. When we leave, everything is on and looks exactly right.

03

Maintenance

All lights and materials are guaranteed. If anything goes out — weather, wind, anything — we come back and fix it. Your display stays complete and working through the end of the season.

04

Takedown and storage

We return in January. Everything comes down, is labeled, inspected, and stored until next year. You don’t deal with a single storage bin. Just confirm the date and we handle the rest.

Christmas lighting installation on a brick home with lit evergreen tree in Northwest Ohio by Light Up Lima

What’s included

Every color.
Every style.
Every type of property.

Warm white is our most popular option — clean, classic, and works on every home. But we offer the full range. Whatever you’ve pictured, we can build it.

Warm white roofline
C9 LED bulbs. Clean, timeless. Our most-requested look year after year.
Colored lights
Traditional multi-color or a single accent color. Blue, red, candy cane — we’ll match your vision.
Tree and evergreen wrapping
C7 lights for evergreens, mini lights for branch wrapping. We’ve wrapped single trees and full properties with eight or more.
Window and arch outlines
Brick and stone homes let us outline windows, arches, and architectural features for a more detailed, elegant look.
Stake lights and displays
An inexpensive upgrade that dramatically changes how a display reads from the street. Often the thing guests comment on most.
Commercial and artificial trees
Large-format artificial trees up to 30 feet for commercial properties, municipalities, and landmark installations.
The ownership model

You own the lights after year one. That’s not how everyone does it.

Some Christmas lighting companies operate on a lease model — you pay every year for lights you never own, and the cost doesn’t go down. We don’t do that. After your first season, the lighting system is yours. We store it, maintain it, and reinstall it each year at a meaningfully lower price.

Year one: Custom design, full materials, installation, maintenance, takedown, and storage
Year two: Approximately 25% lower pricing. No sales tax.
Every year after: Same professional service, same team, same quality — simpler and more economical each season
If you ever stop: We return your lights. They’re yours to keep.

Common questions

How much does professional Christmas light installation cost in Northwest Ohio?

Most residential installations in the Lima and Findlay area fall between $1,500 and $2,300 for a standard roofline display, with an average around $1,700. Full displays with trees, stake lights, and architectural features run $2,500 to $10,000+. Commercial installations up to $50,000. Year two pricing drops by approximately 25% because you already own the lights and we know your property.

Who owns the Christmas lights?

You do, after the first season. We’re not a lease model. The lights are yours once year one is complete, which is why year two pricing is meaningfully lower — no materials cost, and we know your home. If you ever stop using our service, we arrange to get your lights back to you.

Do you install on steep or high rooflines?

Yes. We operate professional lift equipment throughout the entire installation season. We install on steep-pitch roofs, two-story homes, and commercial buildings daily. This isn’t something we do occasionally — it’s standard for us. Lift installation is also safer for your property and produces cleaner, more precise results than ladder-only work.

When do you start installing and when should I book?

We begin installations in October. Prime dates — the weeks before Thanksgiving and early December — fill up quickly. If you want to be on the schedule before you have to think about it, the earlier you reach out the better. Returning clients are typically scheduled first, which is one more reason most people come back.

What happens if lights go out or something comes loose mid-season?

We come back. All lights and materials we provide are guaranteed for the season. Weather, wind, kids, dogs — it doesn’t matter. If something isn’t right, we return promptly and fix it. In-season maintenance is part of every installation, not an upsell.

What styles and colors do you offer?

Warm white is our most popular, but we offer the full range — multi-color, single-color accents, blue, candy cane, and custom combinations. We also install stake lights, window and arch outlines, evergreen and tree wrapping with C7 and mini lights, wire frame displays, wreaths, garland, and large artificial trees for commercial properties. If you’ve pictured something, we can build it.

Ready when you are

This is the last year
you do it yourself.

We design, install, maintain, take down, and store everything. You don’t touch a ladder, untangle a single strand, or deal with January. We fill our schedule early each season — the best time to get on it is now.

Installations begin in October — prime dates fill before the season starts
