Betton Hills · Midtown · Los Robles · Lafayette Park · Waverly Hills

What should Betton Hills homeowners know about Christmas light installation?

Betton Hills and Midtown sit under the heaviest live oak canopy in Tallahassee, on top of homes built mostly in the 1940s through the 1960s. Low-slung midcentury rooflines under enormous oaks are a specific design problem, and it is not solved by adding more roof lighting. It is solved by using the trees.

Low rooflines under enormous oaks. A single-story Betton Hills ranch has a long, low roof that sits well beneath the canopy. From the street the roof line is broken up by branches and Spanish moss. Wrapping the oaks and lighting the pathway and entry brings the display down to where it is visible, and the roofline becomes the accent rather than the whole show.

Canopy roads change the light. Centerville, Meridian, and Old Bainbridge are protected canopy roads, and the streets running off them are dark at night in a way newer subdivisions are not. That works in your favor — there is no competing street lighting, so a well-designed display carries much further here than it would on an open road.

Older houses need attachment chosen per surface. Homes in this part of town have wood fascia, original trim, older gutters, and additions that meet the main roof at odd angles. Clips are matched to the actual surface, nothing is nailed or stapled, and mismatched rooflines get designed as they are rather than forced into a straight run.

Los Robles and the historic streets read differently. Around Los Robles and the older Midtown blocks the houses are grander and closer to the street, with columns, porticos, and entry gates. Garland, column wrapping, and door work do more for these homes than long roof runs, and they respect the architecture instead of competing with it.

Betton Hills questions

Asked by Betton Hills homeowners

My roof is low and the oaks are huge. Where should the light actually go?

Into the trees and along the ground first. On a canopied Betton Hills lot the roofline is only partly visible from the street, so wrapped oak trunks, pathway lighting, and entry work carry the display and the roof becomes the finishing line rather than the whole design.

The house is from the 1950s and the fascia is wood. Will clips damage it?

No. Nothing is nailed or stapled into fascia, trim, or shingles. Clips are chosen for the specific surface on your house, and everything comes off in January with no evidence it was there.

Can you light a historic home without touching the original trim?

Yes. On historic and older homes the attachment method is matched to the surface, and where original trim is involved the design shifts to columns, garland, railings, and landscape lighting so the trim is not touched at all.

Before you decide

What people ask before they book

What if I don't like the design?

You see it before it goes up. We walk your home, design to its architecture, and show you the plan and the price. Nothing is ordered or installed until you say yes.

Will this damage my roof or gutters?

No. Every clip is made for the surface it sits on — no nails, no staples, no screws. We are fully insured, and there is nothing to repair when the lights come down.

What happens if a section goes dark in December?

Call or text us and we come out. Service is included for the whole season, with no per-visit charge.

How much of my time does this take?

One walkthrough at your home. After that we handle the design, the install, the service calls, the takedown and the storage.

Am I too late to book?

Installs begin October 1 and the calendar fills in the order homes are booked. The earlier you are on it, the more say you have over your install date.
