Lighting in Hattiesburg
What we see in Hattiesburg.
The historic neighborhoods off Hardy Street and the older parts of town are full of two-story homes with steep pitches, deep eaves and enormous live oaks, which is exactly the combination that makes DIY installation dangerous and professional installation worth paying for. Newer developments toward Oak Grove and Lamar County trend toward long single-story rooflines and brick columns that light beautifully and price efficiently. On the commercial side we cover the Highway 98 corridor, downtown, the university area and the medical district.

Working with us in Hattiesburg
How much does professional Christmas light installation cost?
Most professional residential displays run between $1,500 and $5,000 for the season, and we do not take residential projects under $1,000. Roofline lighting is priced at about $10 per linear foot, with two-story and steep sections adding to that. Trees, columns, windows and pathway lighting are priced separately. The price covers the entire season including design, installation, maintenance, takedown and storage.
Why do residential installations start at $1,000?
Because a professional installation is a season-long service, not an afternoon of hanging lights. That price covers commercial-grade lighting custom cut to your house, a designed layout, installation by insured crews, every service call during the season, removal in January, and labeled storage until next year. Big-box light kits cost less because you are buying a box and doing all of that yourself, at height, on your own roof.
What affects the price of a holiday lighting installation?
Linear footage is the largest factor, followed by height and roof pitch, then the number of added features like trees, columns and windows. A single-story ranch with 130 feet of roofline is straightforward. The same footage on a steep two-story with dormers takes longer, requires more equipment and carries more risk, so it costs more. Wrapped trees are priced by size and are usually the single largest line item on a large display.
When do you install Christmas lights?
Installations run from roughly October through December, and we book them starting in August. Earlier bookings choose their install week. By late November remaining dates are limited, and large commercial or community projects usually need to be scheduled well before that because of crew and lift availability.
When do you take the lights down?
Takedown normally begins in mid-January and runs through the following weeks. You can request a preferred window and we will do our best to accommodate it, though specific dates are not guaranteed. If you need lights removed earlier than mid-January, tell us and we will arrange it.
Do you store the lights?
Yes, storage is included. After takedown your display is labeled, organized and stored in our warehouse under your property's name. That is also why reinstallation the following year is faster and why the display looks identical season to season: it is the same lighting, cut to the same house.
