How Our Sioux City Christmas Light Installation Works, Step by Step

Tell us what you like. We handle the rest.

If you’re done with the ladder, you’re in the right place. It starts with a quote, by phone or right here on this page, and it ends with you pulling into the driveway to a house that’s already lit.

Comparing Christmas lights installers in Sioux City? Here’s what you can count on with us: we’re with you all season. The local team that takes care of your Christmas light hanging is the same one you’ll talk to in December. And yes, we’re licensed and insured.

1 See it on your house first

Call us or ask for a quote right here on this page. We’ll find out where you want lights and what color and kind you like, then we mock it up so you can actually see how it’ll look on your house. Then we give you a price, and nothing happens until you say yes.

2 We hang it and set the timer

After you say yes, there’s nothing for you to schedule. We install it all before your guaranteed installation date and set the timer, so your lights come on and go off by themselves.

3 You enjoy it, we take it down

Your only job is to enjoy it. If anything goes dark, give us a call and we’ll have it fixed within 72 hours. After the new year, usually in January, depending on the weather, we take it all down and store it at our facility. Next year, we come back and put it all up again.

02 / What it costs

How Much Does Christmas Light Installation Cost in Sioux City?

It’s the first thing everybody wants to know, so here it is. Three things move you inside the range below: how much roofline you want lit, how high and how steep the peaks are, and how far past the roof you go into trees, windows, walkways and wreaths.

Nothing is ordered and nothing is installed until you have seen the number and said yes. A single story ranch in Sergeant Bluff with one long front run sits near the bottom of that range. A two story with three gables, a wrapped tree and a lit entry sits near the top.

$500 to $2,000

Roughly $6 to $12 per linear foot installed. Roofline footage, peak height and how far past the roof you go are what move it.

What you never have to buy, fix or store

Sharp leases you a display for the season instead of selling you a box of lights. That is the whole reason there is nothing of yours to store, repair or replace.

You do not buy the lights

We own the materials and we maintain them. The lease covers the lights, the install, service while they’re up, takedown and storage, so nothing ends up in a tub in your garage and nothing on the house is yours to store or replace.

Your price is locked for three seasons

Same house, same display, same price for three seasons, paid in two parts: half when you accept and half at installation, both on the card on file. The number you approve this fall is the number you pay the next two years.

How the term ends

After three seasons it renews unless you cancel in writing 30 days before the term is up. End it early and you owe half of the remaining balance. Nothing else is hiding under that.

What stands out in these Sioux City reviews isn’t the lights. It’s that nobody had to chase us or do a thing after the truck left. That’s what the price buys here: a house finished on December 1 and a January with no ladder in it.

04 / The hour it all changes

Professional Christmas Light Hanging for Rooflines, Peaks, Trees and Wreaths

The lights go up in daylight. The part you bought happens twenty minutes after sunset.

What you are paying for is the moment the whole front of the house reads as one finished thing. Tap any row for what we can light.

Rooflines and eaves

The line the street reads first. It sits in the edge of the roof rather than swinging under it, which is what makes a house look finished instead of decorated.

Peaks and gables

The pieces that give a house its shape after dark. Peaks are what make a roofline read from the end of the block instead of only from the sidewalk.

Trees, shrubs and walkways

Wrapped rather than draped. A bare tree can be taken out to the branch tips, entry shrubs get enough light to hold their shape against the snow, and walkway stakes go in straight instead of leaned.

Windows, doors and garages

Framing the openings is what turns a lit roof into a lit house. Garage lines in particular carry a lot of the front elevation on a ranch.

Wreaths, entries and the timer

Wreaths and entry accents go on last, lit rather than hanging dark. Everything then runs on a dusk to dawn timer, so nobody in your house is switching anything on.

You pick the color, and you pick it before install day. Warm white is the default and reads as finished rather than decorated. Sharp multicolor is red, green, blue, orange and purple, alternated along the peaks and the eaves, and it suits a house with a lot of roof geometry because the color follows every angle.

Commercial Holiday Lighting Across Siouxland

Price My Siouxland Storefront

Holiday light installation in Sioux City for a business is a bigger plan, and entrances and signage bands carry most of it. What the property gets is a lit entrance on the day you promised it, one number to call if anything goes dark, and a January with nothing to deal with.

Commercial calendars fill before residential ones. Lit before Thanksgiving means booking by November 1.

No takedown to book. One day the lights are on the house, and the next time you look they are not.

Takedown starts January 2, and Siouxland weather sets the order from there. Our crew takes it all down and stores it, storage included. Next November your lights come back already cut to your house, at a price already locked.

Sioux City Christmas Light Installation Questions

Get My Sioux City Quote

How much do Christmas light installers charge per foot in Sioux City?

Roughly $6 to $12 per linear foot installed, and most first seasons in Sioux City land between $500 and $2,000 in total. Roofline footage, peak height and add ons like trees, windows and wreaths are what move you inside that range.

Who hangs Christmas lights in Sioux City?

We do, along with a handful of other companies in Siouxland. Sharp is a local, licensed and insured lawn care and pest control company that runs a full holiday lighting program, and the same trained crews you see here in the summer are the ones on the ladder in November.

What does professional Christmas light installation include?

With Sharp it includes the design, commercial grade materials cut to your roofline, the install, a dusk to dawn timer, maintenance during the season, takedown after the holidays and storage until next year. You supply the house and nothing else.

How do you get power to lights without an outdoor outlet?

Most homes already have an exterior outlet we can work from, and we route and conceal the cord so it doesn’t show. If your house doesn’t have one, we work out the options with you before anything gets installed. Either way it is ours to solve, not yours.

How do you hang lights when there is no gutter?

Not every roof has a gutter to clip to. We carry hardware for shingle edges, fascia and peaks, so the run still follows the line of the roof. We use clips rather than nails or screws, and nothing stays on the house after takedown in January.

Do you install commercial Christmas lights for businesses?

Yes. We light storefronts, offices, business parks and public spaces across Siouxland on the same program as homes: design, install, in season service, takedown and storage. Commercial calendars fill earlier, and if you need it lit before Thanksgiving, book by November 1 and we hang it by November 15. Call (712) 253-8024 to start that conversation.

Do you serve Dakota Dunes, North Sioux City, South Sioux City and Sergeant Bluff?

Yes, and the rest of Siouxland with them: Le Mars, Elk Point, Vermillion, Hawarden, Akron, Dakota City, Merrill, Sloan, Hinton, Lawton, Ponca and Jefferson. If your town isn’t on that list, call (712) 253-8024 and we’ll tell you straight.

Do you install permanent Christmas lights?

No. We don’t install permanent, year round lighting systems. We provide and maintain our own commercial grade materials on a three year lease: you buy nothing, your price is held for three seasons, and the lease renews after that unless you cancel in writing 30 days before the term ends.
