Christmas Light Installation on Lake Norman, NC
Professional Christmas and holiday light installation for Lake Norman homes — design, commercial-grade LEDs, safe roofline installation, all-season maintenance, January takedown, and storage until next year. Serving Cornelius, Huntersville, Davidson, Mooresville, Denver, and Sherrills Ford.
Three Local Owners, One Crew
Our holiday lighting isn't a franchise or a seasonal pop-up. It's three owner-operated Carolina companies that already work on the outside of your house, doing the holidays together as Christmas Lighting Done 4 U.
John
Fireflies Landscape Lighting
Designs the lighting. Ten-plus years lighting homes on the Catawba lakes, so the holiday plan actually complements the house instead of fighting it.
James
Best Roofing Now
Handles the roofline. He's a roofer by trade, which means he knows exactly what does and doesn't belong up there — and what a staple gun costs you in April.
Matt
Red Moose Pressure Washing
Knows these exteriors inside out. He washes these same homes in daylight, so he knows where the soffits are soft, where the gutters sag, and where a clip will hold.

Everything Is Included — Start to Finish
One price covers the whole season. No separate takedown invoice in January, no storing boxes in your attic, no buying strands that fit this year's roofline and nothing else. See what it typically costs.
We design it with you
We walk the house, talk through what you're going for, and lay out a plan — roofline, columns, walkways, trees, wreaths and garland. No two houses get the same cookie-cutter package.
We supply the lights
Commercial-grade LED strands cut to fit your rooflines, not big-box strands stapled end to end. They're ours, we store them, and we replace anything that fails mid-season.
We install it — safely
Clips, not staples. Nothing gets nailed, screwed, or stapled into your shingles or fascia. Our crews are insured and trained on steep and multi-story rooflines.
We maintain it all season
A strand goes out in mid-December, you call us and we come fix it. You are not the one on a ladder in the cold two days before your family shows up.
We take it down in January
Takedown is part of the price, not a surprise invoice. We pull everything, check it, and label it.
We store it until next year
Your lights go back to our shop, sorted and boxed by house. Nothing lives in your attic, and next November we show up with a set that already fits.
A Note from James
Owner, Best Roofing Now — Partner, Fireflies Holiday Lighting
I'm a roofer. That's my actual trade, and it's the reason I got pulled into the holiday lighting side of this in the first place.
Every January and February I get calls about leaks, and a certain number of them trace back to Christmas lights. Somebody — a homeowner on a ladder, or a cheap crew working fast — put staples through the shingles or drove nails into the fascia to hang a strand. Water finds those holes. Sometimes it takes a season or two to show up, and by then nobody connects the leak to the lights. But that's where it started.
So when John and Matt and I put this together, the first rule was simple: nothing penetrates the roof. We hang everything on clips designed for shingles and gutters. No staples, no nails, no screws into fascia. It takes a little longer and it costs us a little more, and I'm not willing to do it any other way — I'd be the guy fixing it later.
The other thing I'll say: please don't get on the roof yourself. I do this for a living and I still respect a wet roofline in December. Two stories with a frost on it is not the place to save a few hundred dollars. Let us handle it.

A Note from John — on lighting a lake house
Owner & Lead Designer, Fireflies Landscape Lighting
Lake houses are a different animal at Christmas, and it takes people a season or two to realize it.
On a normal street, your house is seen from the road. On Lake Norman, half the time the best view of your home is from the water — or from the neighbors' place across the cove. If you only light the front, the lake side of the house sits dark all December while everybody out on the water looks right at it. We plan for both faces, and on the bigger lots in The Peninsula, The Point, and The Farms that's most of the conversation.
The other thing about these properties is distance. A long driveway through hardwoods is a gorgeous approach if you light it, and a black tunnel if you don't. Wrapping the trunks along the drive and running warm light up the big oaks does more for the feel of the place than another fifty feet of roofline ever will.
Come talk to me before the season gets away from us. I'll walk it with you and tell you where the money actually shows.

The Schedule Fills From the Top Down
We start installing in early November and work through to the first week of December. Every year the same thing happens: the calls come in the week after Thanksgiving, and by then we're turning people away. It's the least fun part of the job.
Getting on the schedule costs you nothing and holds your install window — you still choose the date you want the lights switched on. If you're thinking about it at all, call now and decide later.

Owner, Red Moose Pressure Washing — Partner, Fireflies Holiday Lighting
I wash houses for a living, which means I spend my days about three feet from people's siding, soffits, and gutters. I see these homes in full daylight, up close, in a way most people never see their own house.
Here's what that's worth at Christmas: I already know where the clips will hold and where they won't. I know which gutters are pulling away, which soffit panels have gone soft, and which rooflines have a pitch that looks fine from the driveway and is genuinely no fun once you're on it. We use that when we plan the install, and it's why our lines come out straight and stay up through a January wind.
My honest advice on timing — book before Halloween. I know that feels early. But the calendar fills from the top down, and the people who call the week after Thanksgiving are the ones we have to turn away. We'd rather get you on the schedule and install when you want than tell you no in December.
One more thing, and I'll admit it's self-serving: a wash before the lights go up makes a real difference. Clean white trim under warm lights looks sharp. Green-streaked siding under the same lights just looks lit up. Either way, we'll be honest with you about whether it's worth it on your house.
