Skip the ladder weekend.

Hanging your own lights means a cold Saturday on a ladder and another one in January taking them down. Here's the other way.

  • Doing it yourself: A full weekend on the ladder every NovemberWith Shinys Lighting: Our crew handles every ladder and every clip
  • Doing it yourself: Tangled strings and dead bulbs from last yearWith Shinys Lighting: Permanent lights stay up in a trim-matched channel
  • Doing it yourself: Extension cords and timers that never quite workWith Shinys Lighting: Set it on a schedule from your phone and forget it
  • Doing it yourself: Taking it all down in the cold, then finding room to store itWith Shinys Lighting: Holiday lights? We take them down and store them
  • Doing it yourself: One look, once a yearWith Shinys Lighting: Any color, any night, all year

Landscape lighting & uplighting

Light the paths, trees and stonework too. Our landscape lights change color, so the yard can match the roofline on game day.
